Fitness Requirements
While the tour itinerary should give you some guidance and overview to the expected requirements, to determine if this tour is right for you we categorise each of our tours in terms of their intensity. These guidelines are to ensure that each tour group is conducted as expected and to ensure the overall satisfaction of all Inspiring Vacations customers.

As a general rule, porterage is not included, therefore at all times you are expected to handle your own luggage where help may not be available.

This tour is 'Active';

Whether it’s an Everest trek or a cycling tour through Europe, these tours are all about the great outdoors. Explore destinations away from the masses. You’ll require a good level of fitness, but they are not technically challenging. At the end of an active day, you can expect to rest in comfort and explore the culinary delicacies of each region. You’ll join an existing tour, not just with Inspiring Vacations guests

Accommodation and Camping Information
Comfortable camping in semi permanent eco tents. Due to flight availability, some departures stay overnight in a motel in Tom Price and/or Exmouth but all departures will still get to experience all the sites on our itinerary. All camping equipment is provided, except sleeping bags and pillows. The tents are semi permanent spacious four person tents, which will be used for one person if you are travelling as a solo, or two people if you are travelling as a couple. A  mattress is provided to sleep on as well as a knee high stretcher bed. Sleeping bag hire is available for $35 per person.

There are flushing toilets and showers at all of our accommodations, however during the day when we are out and about long-drop toilets will be available. There is also ample opportunity for swimming on most days.

The accommodation listed is subject to change. Any changes will be of an equal or higher standard. Bedding configurations (double or twin) are requests only. All efforts will be made to meet your preferences, however any changes are beyond our control.

Luggage Requirements
Due to health and safety requirements, please limit your luggage to one small-medium sized, soft sided bag per person – it has to be loaded and unloaded many times. 12 kg should be sufficient. If you’re travelling as a couple, please pack two smaller bags rather than one large one. Sleeping bag, pillow, day pack and walking poles can be additional to your main luggage bag.

Suggested items to pack for your tour:

• Pillow, sleeping bag and sleeping sheet (in a sturdy plastic bag if they don’t fit in your luggage);
• Day-pack – one with a waist strap is best to help take some weight off your shoulders;
• Shorts or trousers and shirts for walking – lightweight and quick-dry material are best;
• Casual clothing for evenings and rest days;
• Warm clothing in case of cold evenings and mornings – jumper, tracksuit pants, beanie;
• Waterproof jacket;
• Walking socks;
• Comfortable, sturdy walking shoes or boots (ankle support is recommended as many surfaces are rocky and uneven);
• Reef sandals or shoes for walking in water. Make sure they have good grip even when they’re wet;
• Ankle gaiters/sock protectors suitable for hot weather (not plastic);
• Sun protection – hat, sunglasses, sunscreen (and consider your clothing);
• Bathers and a small swimming towel (lightweight so you can easily carry them);
• Bath towel;
• Toiletries, hand sanitiser and personal medication;
• Reliable headlamp with spare batteries (much better than a torch because you can use both hands when wearing a headlamp);
• Any preferred first aid supplies such as blister treatment (your guides will carry a first-aid kit);
• Water bottle/s – 2 to 3 litre capacity;
• Fly net (to go over your hat);
• Insect Repellent;
• Camera and charger/batteries (You can use your battery charger on the bus while we are driving). A waterproof camera is great for the many swimming holes;
• Walking poles if you use them;
• A lunch container so your sandwich doesn’t get squashed;
• Snacks for the walks if desired.
