The beauty of our style of travel is that it caters to travellers who are travelling solo and who want to meet and share experiences with like-minded people.

Rooming is organised on a twin-share basis. We pair up solo travellers with another traveller of the same gender.

We also have an optional single supplement available on most trips for travellers who prefer to have their own room. This will apply to all nights on the tour.

This trip is a wilderness hike, best suited to experienced hikers who are comfortable with the prospect of multiple consecutive days of hiking in all conditions as it involves plenty of walking over varied terrain. The total distance covered on this trip is approximately 65km.

All countries require a valid passport (with a minimum 6 months validity).

Contact your local embassy or consulate for the most up-to-date visa requirements, or see your travel agent.

Yes, travel insurance is compulsory on this trip.

Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.

You can have a plate of food for a street vendor for AU$10 - $20, however there are always more expensive options. From a mid-range, sit-down restaurant, expect to pay AU$20-$50 - not including alcohol. 

You will need to carry your own gear on this trek. Expect the weight of your pack to be up to around 15 kg. It is essential that you read the Packing List in the Essential Trip Information, and that you bring all necessary items. Backpack, rainwear, sleeping bag and sleeping mat – all these items are essential for this trip and can be hired locally (at $60 per item, payable locally) if you do not wish to bring your own. 

Comfortable all-season tents and cooking equipment are all provided.
 

Due to limited vehicle space and strictly enforced road laws regarding transport of baggage, your main piece of luggage must be soft-sided, compact and weigh no more than 15kg/33lb. The Operator is unable to carry large suitcases or bags, particularly hard/externally framed suitcases as they are difficult to store and can damage equipment and other travellers' belongings.

Under the stars! This is a camping trip and you will be required to set up camp each night. Facilities are very basic (bush camping toilets, no showers).

All meals are included in the price of the trip, but you will need to bring your own snacks for in between meals on trekking days.
