Moderate fitness may be required in some tours. While all safety precautions are taken, it is the participants responsibility to ensure they have brought with them appropriate clothing/footwear and have the required fitness/skill level for each tour.

Anyone suffering from illness or disability or undergoing treatment for any physical or medical condition must declare the true nature of such a condition at the time of booking and plan for the provision of any medication or other treatment required during the tour.

Travel Insurance Travel Insurance is not mandatory but highly recommended for all travellers. Your travel insurance should cover against personal accident, death, medical expenses and emergency repatriation. We also strongly recommend it covers cancellation, curtailment, personal liability and loss of luggage and personal effects. If you are injured whilst in New Zealand – Accident Compensation Commission may be able to help with the cost of the treatment and support your need whilst you’re here. However, it is important to be aware that you cannot sue for personal injury – ACC replaces that right. Alterations to tours may occur due to road or weather conditions, strikes, public holidays, local festivals and cultural or other reasons. Due to the nature of the terrain and remote areas, weather fluctuations can adversely affect road conditions that may also change planned itinerary with little or no notice.
