•Local promotional items which vary through the season
•All day tours also include light refreshments, morning tea, and lunch.


Why are there minimum passenger requirements on some tours and what do they mean?
Our all day tours are available on a minimum seat sale basis. We need to operate a sustainable business, this is often not a problem in the middle of the Dry Season. We maintain a “wait list” and will endeavour to find other interested parties so the tour can go ahead.


How can I be prepared for motion sickness?
Passengers who are prone to motion sickness may consider taking travel sickness medication prior to the tour. Kwells tablets are available from the local Pharmacy and have proven to be very effective. Please read the label and use only as directed.


What happens to my booking if there is any unfavourable weather?
Is this occurs, especially if you have booked during the wet season and if there are safety concerns and restricted viewing conditions we work around you and either delay or bring forward your tour where possible. All cancellations made by KFT Tours will be fully refunded. Adverse weather is not usually a problem in the Dry Season from April to September.


Why do I need to provide my weight?
You are only providing your weight if you are flying as there are legal and safety requirements regarding the operating weight of an aircraft. For small aircraft it is essential that accurate weight information on all passengers and baggage is obtained, and your pilot may request that all passengers are carry-ons are weighed prior to the flight. If inaccurate weights are provided then this may lead to delay and inconvenience as we may need to reconfigure aircraft and seating arrangements.


Will I get a window seat?
Yes, you are guaranteed a window seat on all tours.


How high will we fly?
We generally fly at around 2500 feet (approx 800m) to maintain good visibility. This does vary depending on what you would like to see, vision obstacles (smoke etc), and any air turbulence encountered.


Any tips for taking good photographs?
Yes. Do not rest your camera against the window or other aircraft structure as the vibrations and reflections will surely ruin your photo. Use a fast shutter speed as depth-of-field is not really a problem at altitude. We also highly recommend a UV filter for your camera, to reduce the effect of any atmospheric haze and smoke.


Can I get a helicopter both ways if I don’t think I can do the Mitchell Falls Trek?
Yes the extra chopper flight is not included in the tour price , for an additional $160.00 you can chopper both ways, talk to our res staff if you are concerned with any of the treks .


How long do we spend flying over the Bungles?
We fly a set pattern over the Bungle Bungle Ranges for around 20 minutes. We orbit over the spectacular beehive formations on the eastern side of Purnululu National Park before heading west to explore some amazing deep gorges and gullies. Here we exit the park and track towards the Argyle Diamond Mine. Due to other aircraft traffic we cannot deviate from this standard pattern.

Physcial Fitness Suggested Ratings

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)
• At quoting we ask for the ages of travellers as the suppliers nowdays all seem to request for adventures tours.

Travel Insurance

• 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.

Responsible Travel

• 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.


Money Matters • Please budget for additional meals and expenses while on your trip. Our suggestion is based on past traveller feedback but you may choose to spend more or less.
• The Australian Dollar (A$) is the currency of Australia.
• Credit and debit cards are readily accepted just about everywhere in Australia. Occasionally there may be a minimum spend for both in smaller shops. You can usually withdraw money from shops where EFTPOS is available. Automatic teller machines (ATMs) are common across Australia. ATM's may be limited in remote areas and your leader will advise you when to withdraw extra cash.
• Credit cards in Australia require a pin number rather than a signature and may have a small surcharge for purchases.
• Tipping is not expected but appreciated.
