This is an interactive adventure trip for active adventuous travellers and participation will be required in setting up camp.

A moderate to advanced fitness level is necessary to complete daily walks, which

range from 11 km to 16 km each day, often over steep rocky sections and in direct sunlight and high humidity. An approximate up to 70km walk is included in this tour. Embarking on walks will be at the guide’s discretion to ensure safety of guests.

A doctor’s certificate is required for participants over 70 years old, submitted at least 30 days prior to travel.

The Larapinta Trail is a wilderness experience defined by remoteness, mountain ranges and extreme temperatures. In case of injury, evacuations can take anywhere from a couple of hours to more than twelve hours, depending on location and whether the rescue attempt extends into the night.

All passengers participating in our tours do so at their own risk, and no responsibility can be accepted by Get Lost Travel Pty Ltd / TA Walking Country for any loss, injury or accident. Passengers are responsible for any additional costs involved should such instances occur. All passengers will be required to sign a liability waiver before departure. All passengers must wear shoes at all times, use sunblock and wear hats. Passengers should note that adventure travel and the Larapinta Trail, in particular, involves a higher-than-normal risk; we highly recommend taking out appropriate travel insurance.

Passengers must inform their booking agent of any specific dietary requirements at the time of booking. As this tour travels to remote areas, there are  limited options once the tour departs, so prior notice is essential.

The weather in the Northern Territory can fluctuate and be extreme. It is not unheard of for temperatures to reach over 50+ degrees Celsius in the dry season and in the evening the temperature drops dramatically. Please ensure you have checked the average temperatures for the time of year you are travelling and have packed adequate clothing. In the event of rain or inclement weather, your experience will still go ahead, unless contacted by the tour operator.

Guests are encouraged to participate in meal preparation, unpacking, and loading luggage into the vehicles. This collaborative effort promotes a relaxed atmosphere, fostering connections among travellers after a day of touring.
