Frequently Asked Questions

Are there age restrictions on this tour?

There is an age limit of 12 years and over. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. There are no upper age restrictions for walkers with suitable ability, however walkers with medical conditions should check with the operator before booking.

 

What does "pack-free" mean?

On a pack-free hike, a support team will transport your overnight bags to and from the campsites. The team will also take care of all the camping equipment and set-up, as well as food prep and storage. So all you have to carry is your small pack for the day including your camera, phone, sun protection, swimmers, etc. (See "What To Bring" for more details).

 

What level of fitness do I need?

This 3-day walking tour includes about 45km of hiking through southern and central K'gari with roughly 13-15km covered each day. The trails are moderate, but you will cover a lot of ground over 3 days so a decent level of fitness is required. 

 

How many people can join the tour?

These walking tours take anywhere from 2-6 guests. The tour will not run with only 1 hiker, so the minimum is 2 guests and the maximum is 6. 

 

What shoes should I wear for the hike?

Definitely have good-quality hiking shoes with ankle support and good traction so your feet stay stable and comfortable while hiking 45km! You can bring sandals or other comfy shoes to wear at the campsite in the evening if you wish. 

 

Is it safe to hike through the K'gari wilderness?

The K'gari Walking Tours team takes safety very seriously. No one hikes alone and everyone is in a group with an experienced tour guide. The support team also uses the Garmin Rino 2-Way Radio/GPS Navigator with Sensors for our pack-free hikers to communicate with the guide or use in an emergency. These devices also have GPS navigation so our team can locate you in an emergency.
