It’s highly recommended you take out personal travel insurance. Travel cover protects you in the case of unforeseen circumstances including cancellations, injuries, equipment loss, flight changes and other events that could negatively impact your trip. We suggest specialist adventure travel insurers, [Rise & Shield](https://riseandshield.com/). They cover 100s of activities and are easy to deal with if you need to make a claim. They also cover unique scenarios, like trekking at altitude or emergency evacuation in hard-to-reach places, that ordinary travel insurance doesn’t cover.

You should be able to walk for 4 hours a day and have a fair level of fitness There are some uphill sections, and the paths can be uneven and rocky.

We like to keep the groups personable so 12 people is the maximum. If you're a walking club or group we can take more people. Drop us a message for large group inquiries.

The water coming out of the taps is from a desalination plant so it does have a flavour - but it is safe to drink. We will supply water for you to fill up from for the hikes.
