Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a minimum age for the walking 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 for this tour?
This 2-day walking tour includes about 20km of hiking through central K'gari with roughly 10km covered each day. You'll be hiking on bush tracks and forest trails, and they are not very steep or challenging. Though the trails are quite easy, you will cover a decent distance and be on your feet often, so an average level of fitness is required.
How many hikers will be on 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 type of shoes do I need?
Good-quality hiking shoes are recommended. It's better to have ankle support and good traction so your feet stay stable and comfortable while hiking 20km! You can bring sandals or other comfy shoes to wear at the campsite in the evening if you wish.
Is it safe to hike out in the wilderness with no phone reception?
The K'gari Walking Tours team takes safety very seriously. No one hikes alone and everyone is in a group with the experienced tour guide. The support team also use 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.
