 |
Hikes up to 5kms per day (basic fitness required) |
 |
Hikes up to 6-8kms per day. |
 |
Hikes up to 9kms or more per day. Tours graded with ‘3 Boots’ are only suitable for very fit people who enjoy basic bush camping and can hike 5-9kms a day over uneven terrain often in high temperatures. |
 |
Only the 3-day Kakadu ‘Unleashed’ safari is rated 3 boots+. This is because of the demanding nature of the walks. |
If you are intending on travelling on a tour or package that incorporates travel between Darwin and Broome (Western Australia) in either direction then please be aware of the below important fitness advisories relating to travel in that specific region.
The Darwin < > Broome 4WD tour has unique temperature, activity, and operational considerations not experienced elsewhere in Australia. Kimberley is one of the most isolated, remote places in the world.
This tour is suitable only for FIT AND ACTIVE people. Most people travelling on this trip are aged 18-50. It is not suitable for children under 16 years of age.
Adventure Tours reserves the right to assess the fitness capability of passengers prior to tour departure. The tour is not suitable for children. Due to the remote nature of the Kimberley region, we use bush camps with limited facilities on some nights.
