Planning your travel
Adventure Tours has a large number of tours and packages available to choose from.
To select the right tour or combination of tours, perhaps consider these relevant questions:
How much time do you have?
Use the Travel Planner to schedule tours and and connecting travel.
What type of accommodation on tour best suits you?
Look for tours with upgrade accommodation options or select tours that are fully accommodated (Tasmania, Kangaroo Island, East Coast)
Selecting the right tour to suit you
Throughout the website and in our brochures you will find the use of icons to demonstrate the type of fitness required, accommodation you will stay in and vehicles you will travel in. These key features of the tour will help you understand what you can expect on tour.
Here are the icons and the sort of accommodation they typify:
Fitness Guide
While there are few age restrictions on our tours, general good health and a positive attitude are essential and we reserve the right not to carry persons that may endanger themselves or others whilst on tour.
Hikes up to 5kms per day (basic fitness required)
Hikes up to 6-8kms per day.
Hikes up to 9kms or more per day. Tours graded with ‘3 Boots’ are only suitable for very fit people who enjoy basic bush camping and can hike 5-9kms a day over uneven terrain often in high temperatures.
Only the 3 day Kakadu 'Unleashed' safari is rated 3 boots+. This is because of the demanding nature of the walks.
If you are intending on travelling on a tour or package that incorporates travel between Darwin and Broome (Western Australia) in either direction then please read this important fitness advisory relating to travel in that specific region.
