SPECIFIC ACCESSIBILITY NEEDS

Mobility

We invite guests with low mobility to join our tours with the option to spend part or the entire of the duration of the tour on board the houseboat while the rest of the group is out walking. They will be reunited with the group at the end of each walking day.

Due to the nature of the unformed walking trails and houseboat accommodation, our tours are not considered suitable for wheelchair users.

Assistance Dogs

Tours operate in ecologically sensitive environments and State National Parks where there could be potential hazards, therefore assistance animals are not permitted on our tours.
