1. Health & Safety

  • All guests must follow the safety instructions provided by guides at all times.

  • Please disclose any relevant medical conditions, allergies, or mobility issues when booking so we can prepare accordingly.

  • You are responsible for ensuring your own physical capability to participate in activities such as hiking, walking, or outdoor excursions.

  • We recommend you carry your own travel insurance, covering personal injury, illness, cancellations, and lost or stolen property.


2. Weather & Conditions

  • Our tours run in a variety of weather conditions. Please dress appropriately and bring layers, waterproof gear, or sun protection as needed.

  • Tours may be modified, delayed, or cancelled in the event of severe weather or unsafe conditions. Safety is always our top priority.


3. Responsible Travel & Sustainability

We are proud partners of the NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service Parks Eco Pass program and are committed to leaving no trace. Please help us by:

  • Staying on marked trails and respecting local flora and fauna
