This itinerary utilises formed tracks on all of the walking undertaken. The trekking is as expected for a trip of this introductory grade with no unexpected surprises in steepness.

For you to be able to really enjoy this trip the tour operator recommends that you are to walk comfortably for a few hours at a time (with breaks included) recommend 90 minutes of aerobic type exercise, (either cycling, jogging or power walking) three times a week for the three months leading up to your trip.

The guides are one of the operator's biggest assets. They pride themselves with the standard and quality of these great people who you will be spending your holiday with. They come from all walks of life but they all have a common desire to give you the best possible experience, heaps of fun and lots of fond memories to take home with you. You'll be provided with the services of two guides for many of the trips, (this may depend on the size of the group). All are certified in first aid and CPR and many are advanced mountain guides.

Thank you for an incredible tour. I so enjoyed this group! It was fun as well as exhausting. The guides were wonderful, nothing was too much trouble for them. Thank you Spud for carrying my back all day when I was feeling unwell.
