Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about booking your adventure

How many people are in each tour group?

We believe in intimate, personal experiences. Our groups range from 6 to 15 people maximum, depending on the tour. This ensures everyone gets personal attention from our guides and allows for those spontaneous moments that make travel magical. Smaller groups also mean we can access places larger tours simply can't go.

What's included in the tour price?

All our tours include professional local guides, transportation, entrance fees to attractions, and any activities mentioned in the itinerary. Most full-day tours also include lunch or snacks. We're transparent about what's included - check each tour page for specific details. We believe in no hidden fees or surprise costs.

What should I bring on the tour?

We recommend comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, a hat, water bottle (we have refill stations), and a camera for those incredible moments. For specific tours like waterfall adventures, bring swimwear and a towel. We'll send you a detailed packing list when you book, tailored to your specific adventure.

Are your tours suitable for children?

Many of our tours are family-friendly and perfect for children aged 6 and up. Some adventure tours have age or fitness requirements for safety reasons. Check the individual tour pages for specific age recommendations. We also offer private family tours that can be customized to suit younger children.

What's your cancellation policy?

We understand plans change. Cancel up to 48 hours before your tour for a full refund. Cancellations within 48 hours receive a 50% refund. We also offer free date changes (subject to availability) if you need to reschedule. Weather cancellations are fully refundable or can be rescheduled at no charge.

Do you offer private tours?

Absolutely! Private tours are available for all our experiences and can be customized to your interests, pace, and schedule. They're perfect for families, couples celebrating special occasions, or groups of friends. Contact us for custom pricing - we love creating bespoke adventures!

How do I know which tour is right for me?

Not sure where to start? Use our filters to narrow by interest (adventure, food, culture, eco), fitness level, or duration. Still undecided? Contact our travel experts who can recommend the perfect adventure based on your interests, fitness level, and travel style. We're here to help!

Are your tours environmentally friendly?

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We're certified by Ecotourism Australia, use carbon-neutral transportation where possible, support local conservation projects, and ensure all our tours leave minimal environmental impact. We also partner with indigenous communities to ensure cultural respect and economic benefit.
