Frequently Asked Questions

How many people will be on the tour?

For the Outback Tour, vehicles take 16-20 passengers only. We keep our numbers small to create a more personalised day tour experience.

Hat, sunscreen, camera with extra batteries, water bottle, extra cash for cold drinks, souvenirs or an ice-cream

Wear comfortable clothes and flat closed in shoes. No thongs (flip flops) and no high heels. If you do not have closed in shoes you may not be allowed in the Caves due to safety reasons and the decision of National Parks. In winter you will need to take a light coat. 

All dietary requirements must be notified at the time of reservation. We can cater for vegetarians and most other requirements, within reason if they are medical. Please note you are touring to a remote location and having lunch at an outback pub, so there is not a big selection.

No, due to the remoteness of the area we can not provide WiFi in our vehicles. This may also mean limited mobile reception throughout the day as well.

You will need to be reasonably fit as there are stairs, and some uneven ground and will take an hour to walk through the cave system at a slow pace.

There are a few confined spaces you will need to go through during the cave tour. If you do not like really confined spaces, please notify the local guide.

Yes, children are welcome on this tour. Prams and strollers are not permitted into the caves, so the children will need to be able to walk or you will need to carry them. The cave tour will take at least an hour and there are stairs and uneven ground. (Please note this is a 12 hour day so take this into consideration when taking children on this tour - booster seats provided)

Unfortunately due to the narrow passages, steps and elevated platforms of the Chillagoe Caves, this tour is not suitable for wheelchair or walking disabilities.
