This changes everyday throughout the tour but we try to not exceed 300km so we have plenty of time to explore.

At stops there will be plenty of time for smokers. There are limitations on carrying alcohol per person, we like to support local watering holes along the way, so there’s plenty of time of enjoy a glass or a can after the travel is done.  We provide an esky for drinks for small amounts.  If you are a wine drinker we suggest to bring a Cast instead of glass bottles.

There is limited to no phone coverage throughout The Cape. We carry Satellite phones for emergencies/ breakdowns.  We can give you this number so you may wish to give it to an emergency contact incase they need to contact you.

As a rough guide we have limited times of phone service everyday except Day 5 after mid morning to Day 7, then its back to very limited.  This is only Telstra (Optus & other providers has basically no service at all the whole trip)

Wi fi is available at some destinations where there is no phone service.
