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. 

The truck carries first aid kits and there are satellite phones for use in an emergency. All guides are trained in first aid and know where the remote area evacuation points are. They also carry first aid kits on each of the walks.  Your guide will also inform you of all the relevant information to keep you safe during the hike and whilst swimming.

Passengers are typically aged between 18 -70 years old. If you think you can handle hiking, climbing and swimming for several hours each day, and you are generally fit and healthy, then this tour is likely to suit you. This tour is not suitable for children, although teenagers travelling with parents are welcome. 

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.

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. 

Food is fresh and passengers are often amazed at the meals that are cooked in the bush. The guides aren’t chefs but they can most definitely cook a great feed in a camp oven or on a BBQ plate.

• Breakfast – Continental style and some morning cook ups
• Lunch – Varies from wraps, sandwiches, burgers, salads, cold meats, etc.
• Dinner – Roasts, stir-frys, curries, stews, damper, etc.

The truck can carry camp ovens, frying pans, BBQ plates, pots, etc., so the tour guides can cook almost anything. The tour caters for vegetarians and gluten-free passengers. Other allergies are also catered for, although guides are not specialists in these areas, so we ask that you provide some assistance when meals are being prepared to ensure you are correctly catered for. Please make sure you inform us at the time of booking if you have a dietary requirement or allergy.

A swag is a traditional outback bed, you will be provided with one on your tour. It’s a soft mattress with a canvas cover, like a big sleeping bag with zips on either side. You still use your sleeping bag and pillow inside the swag, but the swag provides you with extra protection from the elements. It also means you don’t have to use a tent, although there is always one available to you. If you don’t want to use a swag, some people simply take the mattress from inside the swag to put in their tent.

The tour provides a simple two-person dome tent, which uses 2 poles. They are simple to construct and your guide will give you a demonstration of how to put the tent up properly.

Your guide will drop you at your accommodation if it is in the city of Darwin.
