While the walking grades vary according to the location, any reasonably fit person can join our tours. Many walks are flexible in their length with easier and more challenging options being offered, if possible. This means that a range of walking preferences and fitness levels can usually be catered for. The general walk rating for each tour is listed with other tour information on the destinations pages of this site. Our Walk Gradings page provides further information on ratings. More information about daily walks is included in the detailed itinerary of each tour. During the tour, your guide quickly gets a feel for the range of fitness levels and can suggest options for individual guests.
We focus on half and full day walks, returning to our hotel / lodge accommodation in the afternoon. So you only need to carry a daypack with rain wear, sunscreen, drinking water, phone and lunch. A few tours include an overnight hike where you will need to carry personal gear for the journey. We recommend hiking boots on most of our tours as they offer good ankle support and grip. A detailed packing list is included with your tour’s general information.
Who you travel with and who leads the way, are a big part of how you experience your tour. Our Guides are dedicated to ensuring you have a genuine, relaxed and memorable journey. They are from many nations and all walks of life, with a common love of exploring and enjoying the outdoors.
Once you have booked a tour, we send you general and tour-specific information that will help you with your planning. This includes flight and travel options, pre and post tour accommodation, travel insurance, packing list, group meeting arrangements and more.
In each country, we prefer to use locally owned hotels, restaurants, transport and tour operators. We also link up with guides and interpreters who know their local area. This means that more of your travel dollar stays in local communities rather than going to large chains and multinational companies. Because travel is a privilege, we make regular donations to community, charity and environmental groups in Australia and around the world.
