A reasonable level of fitness and being sure on your feet is necessary to fully participate. Please refer to the Fitness level (explained below) for each itinerary and discuss any concerns with our office prior to booking. Easy: You need to be able to get in and out of the high clearance 4WD vehicles, but there is limited physical activity on the itinerary walks are generally short and on flat terrain. Moderate: There will be a few longer walks on flat or uneven terrain. The walks could involve rough patches where you are required to clamber over rocks or up and down wilderness tracks. Advanced: No need to be a mountaineer, but some walks are reasonably challenging: on uneven terrain, sometimes unstable underfoot, and including steep (but usually short) descents and ascents into gorges. It is possible to opt out of the more difficult walks, so those with Moderate fitness may still be able to choose one of these trips feel free to discuss options with our office.
