How fit do I need to be?
How fit do I need to be?
Our tours aim to get you off the beaten track and into the remote gorges, waterholes and rock art sites. In order to do this, you will be required to hike for several kilometres a day and occasionally swim and climb (swimming is not essential). You’ll be walking on well-trodden paths as well as rocky, dry creek beds and rough trails.
If you are generally healthy and can walk around 8 kilometres a day, our tours are likely to be suitable for you.
We do not recommend pregnant women travel on our tours; this is due to the risks involved with hiking on uneven ground, and the fact that the roads are corrugated and bumpy which can affect unborn babies.
What are the meals like?
What are the meals like?
Our food is fresh and passengers are often amazed at the meals we are able to cook up in the bush. Our guides aren’t chefs but they can most definitely cook up a great feed in a camp oven or on a BBQ plate.
Our trailers have an 80 litre fridge and an 80 litre freezer so we can deliver nutritious food in the outback.
Breakfast* – Continental style and some mornings we do cook ups
*On day 1 of your tour we’ll pick you up early and we’ll be driving straight away so please have breakfast before you board or pack a snack to eat on the truck
Lunch – Varies from wraps, sandwiches, burgers, salads, cold meats, etc.
Dinner – Roasts, stir-frys, curries, stews, damper, etc.
On the truck we carry camp ovens, frying pans, BBQ plates, pots, etc., so we can cook almost anything.
Can you cater for my dietary requirements on this trip?
Can you cater for my dietary requirements on this trip?
We cater for vegetarians and gluten-free passengers. Other allergies are also catered for, although our guides are not specialists in these areas, so we ask that you provide some assistance when meals are being prepared to ensure you are correctly catered for. Please make sure you inform us at the time of booking if you have a dietary requirement or allergy.
What is the weather like?
What is the weather like?
If you choose to travel during September, October or November these are the hottest months; humidity is high and temperatures can reach 40 degrees. During April and May there is some humidity and June, July and August are the coolest months, where you will experience cool nights and warm daytime temperatures.
During the hotter months our guides will alter the itineraries to suit the weather conditions, for example long walks will be done early in the morning to beat the heat. We will also aim to camp near watering holes so you have the opportunity to cool off in the afternoon.
What kind of drinks are provided and can I bring my own?
What kind of drinks are provided and can I bring my own?
We provide drinking water only; if you would like alcohol or soft drinks, please bring them with you. We will have an esky to help keep your drinks cool and we recommend you purchase cans rather than glass. It is very hard to purchase any alcohol on tour due to strict liquor laws in the north. Feel free to bring as much as you need for the trip, any queries give us a call on 0447 740 880.
How much luggage am I allowed to bring?
How much luggage am I allowed to bring?
Please bring no more than 20kg of luggage as we have limited space on the truck. We also ask that your luggage has soft casing e.g. a backpack. The weight limit does not include your sleeping bag or drinks.
Do I need travel insurance?
Do I need travel insurance?
We highly recommend that you take out travel insurance including COVID travel insurance at the time of booking and that you make sure it suits your individual needs. Our tours travel through remote areas and you could incur high costs in the unfortunate event that something happens to you. Some suggestions of what you should look at covering yourself for are:
- Emergency medical treatment
- Emergency evacuation
- Injury, accident or sickness, which prevents you from starting the tour or causes you to leave the tour
- Cancellation fees
- Lost or damaged luggage
- Leaving the tour due to illness, injury or accident
We are a small operator and cancellations affect us significantly, therefore it is essential for us to abide by our policy in all circumstances. If you choose to travel with no insurance, you do so at your own risk, and we highly recommend that you familiarise yourself with our cancellation policy under our Terms and Conditions.
What is a swag?
What is a swag?
We provide swags to all our passengers. A swag is a traditional outback bed, you will be provided with one on your tour. It’s a soft mattress with a canvas cover. You still use your sleeping bag and pillow inside the swag, but the swag provides you with extra protection from the elements. It also means you don’t have to use a tent, although there is always one available to you. If you don’t want to use a swag, some people simply take the mattress from inside the swag to put in their tent.
What type of tents do you provide?
What type of tents do you provide?
We provide a simple 2-person dome tent, which uses 2 poles. They are simple to construct and your guide will give you a demonstration of how to put the tent up properly.
Should I be worried about mozzies, sandflies or March flies?
Should I be worried about mozzies, sandflies or March flies?
Although these bugs are not much of a concern on our trips, there can be some areas where you might require some protection, therefore if you are bothered by bugs, please bring your preferred repellent or clothing.
I am not the best swimmer, should I be doing this tour?
I am not the best swimmer, should I be doing this tour?
We carry a couple of pool noodles to help you float but please inform your guide at the beginning of the tour if you can’t swim or if you’re not a confident swimmer, so they can keep a close eye on you. If you are not comfortable being in the water you can simply relax in the shade; it is not compulsory to swim.
How can I charge my camera or phone?
How can I charge my camera or phone?
We carry a 240-volt power inverter and USB charger for you to charge your phone and/or camera.
Is there wifi available while on the tour?
Is there wifi available while on the tour?
We like to embrace being in nature and try to forget about staying connected. The Kimberley is a beautiful and remote area in Australia and it’s great to escape our busy lives back home. However, we do understand sometimes there is a need to contact home to speak to family, check work emails or make a phone call. There are spots throughout all our trips where you will get service. We cannot wait around at these places purely to make the most of the phone reception but you can get your phone or device out whilst we are there.
Wil we have toilets and showers on the tour?
Wil we have toilets and showers on the tour?
Yes and no. When we are on the road there are roadhouses and rest stops with toilets, which you can use. Also, when we stay at stations you will have access too hot showers and flushing toilets, however most campsites have little or no facilities. When we bush camp there are also no facilities. On our tours we are swimming most days (without soap or shampoo), so a refreshing swim should sort you out.
Can I hire a sleeping bag?
Can I hire a sleeping bag?
We do not hire out sleeping bags so you will need to bring your own.
