Frequently Asked Questions
Will I have phone service / internet access?
Internet
WiFi will be available across accommodation in in urban parts of Australia. Some properties may charge a fee for usage.
While camping, most sites will have little to no internet access as they are in remote areas.
Phone service
Australia's main telecommunication networks operate across towns in the Northern Territory. Different networks will work across different spots in the Outback and regional areas. If you're planning to stay longer in Australia, it's a good idea to purchase a local SIM card to make use of data in no WiFi zones.
Tour guides will be equipped with satellite phones for emergencies only.
Please be prepared for up to 3 - 4 days at a time with no internet or phone service.
Who prepares the meals each day?
On most days, breakfast, lunch and dinner will be included.
Your tour guide will prepare most of the meals on tour, but you will have the opportunity to assist with daily tasks such as setting up camp, helping prepare meals and clearing dishes.
None of this is difficult but, as the saying goes, 'many hands make light work' and any assistance provided to crew is always much appreciated.
Will I be able to charge my devices on this trip?
Most Adventure Tours Australia trips do provide access to power where guests can recharge batteries for phones and cameras every few days.
However, it is recommended that you bring an extra battery to charge your devices with just in case.
Your vehicle will also be equipped with a 12 volt "cigarette lighter" socket which may be used at the crew's discretion - but bear in mind that only one device can be charged at a time and it will not be llowed if there's a risk of running the vehicle's batteries low.
Some campsites will offer electricity, so charging batteries is advised in these instances.
