This tour aims 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 will also need to carry the water you need for each walk or hike (we recommend a 2-litre water bottle). If you are generally healthy and can walk around 5 kilometres a day, our tours are likely to be suitable for you.

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, 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. The tour will also aim to camp near watering holes so you have the opportunity to cool off in the afternoon.

Can I bring my own alcohol?
The tour provides drinking water only; if you would like alcohol or soft drinks please bring them with you. The tour will have an Esky to help keep your drinks cool and recommends 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.
