Physical fitness suggested ratings:
• Alongside every trip we have included physical
ratings. These are designed to give you an idea of how demanding
(or not) each trip is.
• 1 out of 5: Leisurely paced day trips. Minimal
physical exertion required.
• 2 out of 5: Two and three day trips that include
easy walking. Hikes up to 6-8kms per day. A reasonable level of
fitness is required as there will be some walking to view places
of interest. Suitable for soft adventures with a passion for bushwalking
and exploring. Passengers must be fit and active.
• 3 out of 5: Short participatory-level camping
trips, walks that’ll get your heart rate up and extended periods
in the elements.
• 4 out of 5: Fairly basic camping on most nights,
limited amenities and some long (and challenging) walks. A high
level of fitness required.
• 5 out of 5: The hardest of the hardcore. Long
trips to remote destinations with limited facilities. Excellent
health and fitness is essential.
• The operator may ask for a medical form to be filled out if you
are a certain age. (Even though from personal experience we know
amy/most of our more senior clients can outwalk, outswim, outrun
any 20 year by a mile)

nowdays all seem to request for adventures tours.
or
or
• What you need to bring will vary according to the trip style
you have chosen, the countries you are visiting and when you are
travelling. Generally speaking, we recommend you pack as lightly
as possible and make sure that you are able to carry and lift your
own luggage, and walk with it for short distances.
• Most travellers carry their luggage in a backpack, although an
overnight bag with a shoulder strap would suffice if you travel
lightly. Smaller bags or backpacks with wheels are convenient although
we recommend your bag has carry straps. You'll also need a day pack/bag
to carry water, camera, and jacket etc. when you’re exploring during
the day.
What to bring on tour a Kakadu tour:
• Booked and paid E-Ticket - (Important)
• Sturdy walking shoes
• Hat and sunscreen
• Toiletries
• Warm clothing in winter (Mostly sleeved jacket for nights and
suitable pants temputares in Kakadu - see Kakadu Weater below)
• Water bottle (1.5L)
• Torch
• Insect repellent/net
• Camera and batteries or charger
• Second Towel for swimming
• Power pack for charging without electricity
• Second pair of shoes that can get wet
• Sandals
• Small amount of money for any road side truck stops for icecream
etc that may occur
Below are some ideas and helpful tips on what you specifically need
for this trip.
ESSENTIALS:
• Lightweight clothing. You will need to bring a mixture of lightweight
clothing and layers.
• Long shirts and pants are useful to protect against the harsh
Australian sun.
• Clothes should be easy to wash and dry. -
• Comfortable closed-in shoes will help to protect your feet from
cuts and scratches when walking through bush/grass-lands, and will
also act as a barrier protection in rare cases against bites or
stings.
• Sun protection - hat, sunscreen, sunglasses
RECOMMENDED:
• Personal medical kit. A larger kit will be on hand with your guide,
but we recommend you carry items such as mild pain killers, electrolytes,
Band-Aids and insect repellent.
• Water bottle. We recommend at least a 1.5litre capacity.
• A headlamp or torch is recommended for around your accommodation
at night.
• Camera with spare batteries.
OPTIONAL:
• Sleep sheet. If you are travelling during the hot season you may
wish to pack a sleep sheet so you will be comfortable no matter
what the weather.
• Ear plugs
• A good book, a journal and music player
• Binoculars for spotting wildlife
VALUABLES:
• Please try to avoid bringing unnecessary valuables. We strongly
recommend that you photocopy all important documents e.g. air tickets,
passport, vaccination certificate, etc. and keep the copies separate
from the originals. While not valid, a photocopy makes it very much
easier to obtain replacements if necessary.
BATTERIES/POWER:
• Most of our trips have access to power to recharge batteries for
phones and cameras every couple of days. We always recommend that
you carry an extra battery for your camera just in case. Your vehicle
will be equipped with a 12 volt “cigarette lighter” socket which
may be used at the crew’s discretion, however, do bear in mind that
only one piece of equipment can be charged at a time and it will
not be allowed if there is a risk of running the vehicle’s batteries
low. Batteries may also be recharged from hotel room wall sockets.
Hotels and many campsites have electricity and charging of batteries
is advised before checking out the following day. Consider purchasing
a portable powerbank just in case as a backup.

• Australians are not required to be covered for hospital care
due to being covered by Medicare. However we strongly recommend
that Australians have a domestic travel insurance policy which covers
personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage
and personal effects. It is also strongly advisable that Australians
have current ambulance cover in the case of emergency evacuation
or incidents requiring ambulance transportation. • Travel insurance
is compulsory for all international travellers and should be taken
out at the time of booking. Your travel insurance must provide cover
against personal accident, death, medical expenses and emergency
repatriation with a recommended minimum coverage of US$200,000 for
each of the categories of cover. We also strongly recommend it covers
cancellation, curtailment, personal liability and loss of luggage
and personal effects. You must provide proof of your travel insurance
on the first day of your trip; you will not be able to join the
trip without it. If you obtain travel insurance through us you acknowledge
that you are satisfied with the level of insurance we have arranged.
• We believe strongly in low impact or rather positive impact
tourism. Broadly speaking this means that we try to minimise the
negative aspects of tourism on the local cultures and environments
that we visit and highlight the positive aspects. Please visit our
website for further details and suggestions on how you can be a
responsible traveller.
