Is this tour suitable if I'm not a strong hiker?

The walks are graded easy to medium, so a reasonable level of fitness is needed. The terrain includes coastal paths and a summit climb, but nothing technical. Guests who are not comfortable with moderate walking may find some sections challenging.

What languages is the commentary available in?

The Go West Tours app provides audio commentary in Arabic, Malay, Cantonese, French, German, Italian, Korean, Japanese, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Vietnamese, and Hindi. Download the app before your departure date.

Can I bring a pram or pushchair for my child?

Prams, strollers, large luggage, and oversized bags cannot be accommodated on the tour vehicle due to limited storage space. This tour is not suited to families requiring a pram.

Is lunch included in the tour price?

Lunch is not included. There are dining options at Tidal River where you can purchase food and drinks at your own expense. It's also worth bringing snacks for the trail sections.

What time does the tour finish and where does it drop off?

The tour returns to Melbourne with hotel drop-offs completing at approximately 8:00 PM. You'll be dropped at your Melbourne hotel.

Can the itinerary change on the day?

Yes — the order and content of stops may be adjusted due to weather or traffic conditions. The core experiences (Squeaky Beach, Mt Bishop, wildlife walk) are planned for every departure, but flexibility is built in.
