Equipment

Transport by an air-conditioned custom built 4WD tour coach or mini bus which ever is appropriate for the tour. Camping equipment suitable for each tour (except Sleeping bags and pillows) is provided. A second vehicle may accompany the group on tours to remote areas. In the case of breakdown or other unforeseen circumstances effecting the vehicle or guide, the operator reserves the right to substitute vehicles and guides other than specified, to ensure the operation of a tour.

Seat Allocation

Seats on tour vehicles are not pre-allocated. To ensure all participants get to enjoy forward positioned and window seats, we have incorporated a daily seat rotation system.

Wildlife

Sighting of birds, or animals mentioned in the itineraries can not be guaranteed as they are wild and therefore free to come and go as they please.

Wildflower Display

Can not be guaranteed as they are dependent on seasonal rains.

The maximum weight of the bag should not exceed 15 kilograms. A small day pack is also permitted. International tours, some island tours and the Kimberley Coastal Cruises luggage limits may vary, please see the respective tours trip dossier for specific weight maximums.
