It is your responsibility to carry any medication (which may require a cooler bag). Consult your local medical practitioner for any health advice. Internet & Wi-fi In the Kimberley and parts of the outback, mobile phone service is extremely limited.

Wi-fi internet is included on board the ships, however it is limited and not guaranteed. Mobile coverage is not available during the cruise due to the remote locations. Laundry On 4WD land adventures, in-room hand-washing opportunities are available at each of our Kimberley wilderness lodges (however, washing is not encouraged at Bungle Bungle Wilderness Lodge due to water conservation principles). In larger centres hotels may feature coin-operated washing machines and dryers or they may offer laundry services (own expense). Our expedition ships have laundry services (own expense). Luggage As a general rule, airlines permit passengers in economy class to take one piece of luggage that does not exceed 160cm (63 inches) or weigh more than 20kg (44 pounds). We advise you to contact your airline carrier or travel agent for specific information prior to departure, as size and weight limitations may vary. Each cruise guest is entitled to take one piece of luggage that does not exceed the above specifications. On 4WD land adventures, due to the size of AWD vehicles and strict regulations for vehicle weight, there is limited luggage capacity. Please pack your required items into one small bag (no hard suitcases) weighing no more than 16kg. Alternatively, suitcases are acceptable if they fit within the following dimensions of 66cm length x 35cm width x 32cm height. Please enquire about our APT duffle bags. If you have excess luggage, please arrange for it to be stored at your hotel if returning to it post tour or organise for it to be forwarded to the tour's final destination (at own expense). Live Fully p Passports & Visas Cruise guests must have a valid passport with at least six months’ validity from the return date. It is your responsibility to ensure these are obtained prior to departure. No visas are required for Australian and New Zealand passport holders. t Travel Insurance Travel insurance is mandatory on all cruises and highly recommended on all land tours. Purchase comprehensive cover for any unforeseen circumstances that may arise on tour or before leaving home (this includes cover for any cancellation penalties, remote evacuation, medical and curtailment expenses, loss of luggage, etc.). w Weather May through to September are the best time to travel through the outback as it is mostly winter time in Australia, however, it is the dry season for the tropical regions of Cape York, Northern Territory and the Kimberley. In South Australia and outback Queensland, temperatures are more moderate in winter. For our Western Australia coastal tours, the best time to travel is from the beginning of July through to October. The Kimberley region can be divided into two seasons - a wet season and a dry season. The dry season (May to October) will be mild to warm during the day, but can be very cold at night. From June to August, the days are fine and warm with cold nights. Inland conditions at night can drop to below zero degrees Celsius. Rainfall is rare. z Zodiacs Zodiacs are versatile, inflatable boats, which provide a unique platform for observing wildlife and enjoying landscapes from sea level, enabling you to get closer to the sights. They provide a fast and safe way of going ashore in remote locations and are invaluable for exploration. The Details 99
