All tours require a moderate to high level of fitness and a degree of mental stamina. Being physically prepared is paramount to the experience and to yours and the group’s safety. If you are not physically prepared you may need to, or may be asked to miss certain days walking for yours and the group’s wellbeing. Being physically prepared will ensure you gain maximum involvement and enjoyment on your trek.

Due to the physical activity involved with our treks, all guests 69 years of age or over at the time of their trek will require a medical clearance from a health professional.

It is vital that you inform us of any medical conditions that may affect you during your time with us. We need to know so that we can ensure maximum safety, comfort and enjoyment on your trek. Consult your GP before your tour if you have any pre existing medical conditions which may affect you whilst on tour. Please advise us on the Booking Form of any medications you are taking, medical conditions (ie. allergies etc.) and any previous injuries or operations you may have or had. It may be a requirement to have your GP sign a medical clearance form.

If medical clearance is not obtained by your doctor your deposit is fully refundable. Any cancellation after a successful medical clearance is subject to our standard cancellation policy. Further information will be provided via email when your booking form is received.

Trek Tours Australia strongly recommends all travellers have adequate travel insurance for their trip.

Your insurance should provide cover against personal accident and sickness, medical expenses, emergency repatriation and personal liability. We also recommend that the policy covers cancellation, curtailment, loss of luggage and personal effects.

For Australian residents: Under the Federal Government Medicare Act it is prohibited for any domestic travel insurance product to provide any financial reimbursement with regard to medical expenses and ambulance/air ambulance services. We advise our travellers to take specific cover for ambulance through their respective State/Territory ambulance providers or through their own private health insurance.

Trek Tours Australia accepts the following payment methods:

• direct deposit to our bank account
• cheque or money order
• major credit cards: Visa/Mastercard 0.93% surcharge, AMEX 1.89% surcharge

All payments are to be made out to Australian Wilderness Adventures Pty Ltd and are in Australian Dollars.
