NEVER CAMPED BEFORE
Never Camped Before?...No worries, we supply everything needed for an easy camping holiday. On some of our more remote tours we stay in permanent camps with comfortable hard top tents or in traditional Aussie Swags for a true outdoors experience.
We supply eskys (coolers), gas lights, stoves, tables and chairs, even plates, knives, forks and all other camp accessories.
You will need to bring your own sleeping bag if your tour includes camping nights.
We recommend a ´three season` bag during the summer months and a 'four season' bag the rest of the year, as some nights can be cool to cold, especially in desert/mountainous areas.
On our camping treks, some nights on the itinerary are normally spent in hotel, cabin or bunkhouse accommodation. They are included in your trek price. No other adventure company gives you as many accommodated nights in the price of the tours.

PARTICIPATION ON TOUR
The main ingredient in any great holiday is team spirit and a willingness to help with the day to day running of the tour. From loading to unloading equipment, preparing meals and doing dishes, everyone participates.You will be assigned certain tasks on a rotating roster, a perfect opportunity to break the ice and share in the experience with your fellow trekkers, with lots of individual input, fun and flexibility.
You are part of a team on an OzXposure tour.

MORE TWO AND THREE NIGHT STOPS
On many of our tours we incorporate two and three night stops to allow you to take full advantage of all your numerous options available wherever you may be, letting you make optimum use of your holiday time. We know from experience that it is important to pace a tour, to guarantee that you see and do more, without having to run madly from one stop to the next.

OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES
On most of our tours we include many of the main activities in your trek price. (See "What's included" box on the individual tour pages). We also give you the freedom to choose additional activities and approximate costs are also shown to help you plan your holiday budget.We recommend taking advantage of the best group discounts we have negotiated for you on the optional activities.
Visa and MasterCard are accepted in most places and you can get cash from automatic teller (cash point) machines. Travellers cheques can be hard to change and most banks charge a fee. If you do bring travellers cheques only bring AUD or NZ dollars as foreign exchange facilities are sometimes limited. Pre paid foreign currency cards are a really good option, we recommend Fairfax.com.

TOUR LEADERS
Tour leaders are a special breed! They have contributed more to our success than any other part of our programme. The tour leader and the group work as a team and are jointly responsible for arranging everything en route - to suit the group and the individual. We provide the right kind of person to handle the multitude of needs that arise throughout any tour. We are very critical in our choice of people; we employ men and women from many professional backgrounds, who lead active lifestyles themselves.
