Frequently Asked Questions
I have lots of luggage, can I bring it all with me?
Luggage space is very limited. It is easy, safe and inexpensive to forward your luggage on with Greyhound Australia. Contact details for Greyhound are listed on the 'What to Bring' page of this website.
Do you pick us up from our accommodation on the first morning of the tour?
As long as you are staying within the Central Business District in Darwin, and anywhere in Broome, then yes we pick you up.
What time does the tour start?
Pick-ups start at 6am on the morning of the tour. Please be ready at this time and allow up to 30 minutes, depending on other pick-ups.
Do you drop us off at our accommodation at the end of the tour?
We will drop you at your accommodation in Broome or Darwin when the tour finishes.
What time does our tour finish on the final day?
In general we will drop you off in the early evening at your destination. Around 6pm is usual. This can vary depending on how much you want to fit into your last ay of the tour.
Should I get Travel Insurance?
Travel Insurance is highly recommended. Problems requiring insurance are rare, however situations can arise when you will be glad you have it, eg injuries, medical evacuations, loss or damage of personal items etc.
How can I book a tour?
You can book your tour via email through the 'Contact Us' page of this website, by phone on our freecall number 1800 083 368, or get your travel agent to organise it for you.
Do I need to confirm my booking?
Yes. It is asked that you ring, or email, at the latest 2 days prior to your tour to confirm where you will be staying on the morning of the tour.
Can I charge my camera batteries during the tour?
Yes. This can generally be done at Internet Cafés in Kununurra (Day 4 of the tour) or through a 240V inverter in each vehicle.
Do I need to book accommodation for the end of my tour?
Yes. During the ‘Dry Season’ hostels are very busy in both Broome and Darwin and it is advisable to book a room in advance. Tell the hostels that you are travelling with us on tour and they will generally hold a room/bed for you.
Are there showers along the way?
Generally no. We are travelling through a very remote area and few campsites have showers. We do however spend lots of time swimming (no soap), and we have also developed several good bush options for those who are desperate. Don’t worry, you’ll be fine!
Do you have a pre tour meeting?
No. Everything you need to know can be found on this website and further questions can be answered when you confirm your booking prior to your tour.
