Accommodation the first night is motel style accommodation (Twin Share with another lady in the group conducted by random draw unless booking with a friend). If you prefer to have a room to yourself, you will need to pay an additional $130.00 for the single supplement here. These are limited and subject to availability at the time you submit your booking.
Thereafter, we are camping under the stars, with the first night having no ablutions, although we have the use of Glen Helen Resort the following day should you require a shower and flushing toilet.
All other nights while camping we have ablutions (hot showers, flushing toilets).
For the camping portion there is no single supplement charged, as you will have your own King Single Swag to sleep under the stars in - You can choose to sleep under the stars and have your own space completely (no sharing at all), or place your Swag inside a 3-4 person tent with one other lady from the group (we will place your name in a draw should you choose this option, unless specifically requesting to share with a friend prior to the tour). Depending upon group numbers and availability of tents, you may well end up with a tent to yourself, however this is not guaranteed, so please make sure you understand this prior to booking.
Travel Insurance & flexible flight bookings are highly recommended
**Please note that we cannot cater for fussy eaters or those with too many dietary issues, due to the nature of this trip. While the food is plentiful and of good quality, we do not have the facilities or storage to provide several separate meals or too many options. If you have a specific food allergy or dietary requirement, please discuss with us to see if we're able to cater for you, prior to paying your deposit.
This tour by it's very nature is not designed for the 5 Star Traveller. It is for the girl who has an 'adventurous spirit' and is looking for a unique and rewarding 'experience'! You should be able to adopt a "Go With The Flow" attitude, after-all we are camping under the stars..... This will help you chill out and therefore get the best out of your holiday.
You will also need to be mobile without assistance - some of the sights require you to be on your feet, navigating steps and uneven surfaces at times. We also have a couple of walks as part of this tour - these walks can be achieved by anyone with a general level of fitness, but again mobility is the key, as with all of our tours.
Notice of cancellation must be in writing, with an email as an acceptable form of communication, directly to Adventurous Women with the following conditions:
No refund is available after departure of a walk or tour has commenced.
