Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average age of women on your Australian tours?

Our travellers are a wonderful mix of women, typically ranging from their late 40s to early 70s. However, age is just a number! What truly connects everyone is a shared passion for adventure, discovery, and creating new friendships. We welcome any woman with a curious spirit and a desire to explore. The focus is always on the shared experience and the incredible bonds that form between like-minded travellers, regardless of their age.

Do I need to be really fit to join an adventure tour?

Our tours are designed to be accessible and enjoyable, not gruelling. A moderate level of fitness is all that’s required-think being able to comfortably walk for a couple of hours, sometimes over uneven ground, while carrying a small daypack. Each tour itinerary clearly outlines the physical activity level, so you can choose the perfect adventure for you. We focus on immersion and enjoyment, ensuring the pace is comfortable for the entire group.

What is a ‘single supplement’ and how can I avoid it?

A single supplement is an additional charge for a solo traveller to have a hotel room to themselves. We understand this can be a frustration, which is why we offer a fantastic matching service. If you’re travelling alone, we can pair you with another like-minded woman on the tour to share a twin room, allowing you both to avoid this extra cost. Of course, if you prefer your own space, the option to pay the supplement for a private room is always available.

What should I pack for a small-group tour in Australia?

Packing for our Australian tours for women is all about comfortable, versatile layers. Australia’s climate can vary, so we recommend lightweight shirts, a warm fleece or jumper, a waterproof jacket, and comfortable walking shoes. Don’t forget your sunhat, sunglasses, and sunscreen! Once you book, we provide a detailed, destination-specific packing list to ensure you have everything you need for a seamless and comfortable adventure without overpacking.

Are flights to Australia included in the tour price?

International flights from New Zealand to Australia are not included in the tour price. This gives you the flexibility to use your preferred airline, travel on different dates, or use loyalty points for your booking. Our tour prices, quoted in NZD, cover all your land-based arrangements from the moment you meet us at the designated arrival airport. We are always happy to offer advice on the best flight options to book for your chosen tour.

What makes a ‘personally escorted’ tour different from a regular guided tour?

A ‘personally escorted’ tour means your host is more than just a guide; she is your dedicated travel companion and organiser from start to finish. This ensures a truly seamless experience where every detail is thoughtfully managed. Unlike a standard guide who may only handle daily logistics, your escort is there to foster a warm, supportive group dynamic, handle any unexpected issues, and ensure your journey is as enriching and stress-free as possible, creating a true sense of community.
