Other Details

Accommodation Details

We have chosen well-appointed quality Australian accommodation for our guests, aimed at being both comfortable and memorable. These will be en-suite rooms, generally at lodges and private units. We stay away from larger branded chain hotels and where possible stay with locally owned businesses as part of our dedication to responsible tourism. Prices are based on twin share, and should you be travelling alone, you will, where available be paired with somebody of the same sex. Single supplements are available to accommodate you privately where possible, but due to some of our accommodation being in remote locations, some options may not be available from time to time, especially with bookings close to our departure dates.

Meals
Due to our intensive adventure itineraries we include breakfast and lunch everyday, and dinner on some occasions. We have designed our adventure trips to allow a good amount of freedom during the evenings for you to try local restaurants either independently or as a group. Please advise us of any special dietary requirements.

Transport
A variety of transport is used throughout our adventure tours in order to facilitate the activities and can includes helicopters, light aircraft, buses and boats. Adventure Junkies make every effort not to deviate from the proposed itinerary, however travel changes brought about by weather, politics, schedule changes or road and track conditions, although rare, are a possibility and out of our control. We cannot be held responsible for any such changes but will aim to minimise disruption and changes in such circumstances.

Baggage & Flights
On international flights baggage is usually limited to 44lbs/20kg. Baggage will need to be limited during our trips to one backpack/rucksack per person no larger than 75 litres in size, and one daypack no larger than 25 litres in size. Hard suitcases are not appropriate for trips of this nature. It may be possible to shuttle extra baggage, please contact us for details.

Itineraries
As these often complex adventure itineraries (using the services of independent suppliers) are planned many months before your holiday, there are various factors over which we have no control and which could make adjustments to the actual travel arrangements necessary. If we are aware of any major changes in advance we will endeavour to let you know. Should any activities be cancelled due to reasons beyond our control, our tour leader will offer possible alternatives to the group to consider. These will include adventure activities similar in nature and/or value where possible.

Group Size
We have a responsible attitude towards tourism. We are dedicated to only taking small groups in an effort to minimise some of the negative impacts that large tourists groups can bring, and have a maximum group size of 16. Groups are dynamic in their make up, typically including individuals, friends travelling together and couples. Adventurous travellers from several countries and many walks of life will usually make up an interesting and diverse group.

Travel insurance
Travel insurance is compulsory for all adventure holiday bookings. We recommend World Nomads as award-winning insurers for action minded travellers. Your insurance policy document is as important as your passport and should be carried with you on tour. If you have arranged your own travel insurance cover, please ensure that you take your policy document (or a copy of the actual policy document) with you, as your tour leader will ask to see this at the start of the trip. Your documentation must show evidence that you are the named policy-holder and that the cover is valid for your period of travel. The documentation must also indicate that you have cover for at least Medical Expenses and Emergency Repatriation. Please ensure that a 24-hour contact telephone number for your Insurance Company is stated on your documentation in case of emergency. Travel with Adventure Junkies is not possible without valid insurance, and time is not available for this to be organised on the day the tour starts. There will be no refund should you not have a policy.
