Tour Fitness Level Recommendation

Level 3: You’re an on-the-go traveller. You don’t want to miss a thing, so walking and standing for longer periods of time (1-2 hours) isn’t a big deal. You can navigate hills and uneven ground, climb into various modes of transport (tuk-tuk, cable car, zodiac, etc.), and could possibly anticipate elevation changes. You can expect some longer days balanced with free time to recharge or set out on your own adventure.

Masks

Guests are required to bring their own personal protective equipment they are comfortable using, as wearing a mask may be required during some parts of your tour experience.

Motor Coach

All surfaces will be sanitised often, including regular cleaning of high-touch areas with disinfecting wipes. Hand sanitiser will be available at all times and drivers will wear protective gear.

Will I need a passport?
