From the 30th of October 2021, participants aged 16 and over are required to provide proof of a current and valid COVID-19 vaccination, with the final dose administered no later than two weeks prior to departure.

There may be travel restrictions in place from state to state or within NSW. It is the duty of participants to check any requirements which need to be fulfilled before travel, which includes transit destinations.

Children up to and including the age of 15 are exempted from vaccination requirements and must instead provide a negative COVID-19 test taken 72 hours prior to departure.

If they are vaccinated, we will require proof of vaccination.

Medical exemptions for adults will be considered on a case-by-case basis and require a medical certificate from a medical professional.

Those with valid medical exemptions must provide a negative COVID-19 test taken 72 hours prior to the first day of the trip.

Please be aware that additional quarantine requirements for unvaccinated travellers may apply, depending on your origin, and these should be considered before you travel so the appropriate arrangements can be made.

For overseas travellers please note that vaccinations which are acceptable are those approved by Australian authorities.

A copy of your vaccination record must be provided to our staff prior to the start of your adventure.

All personal information provided is kept in accordance with our privacy policy which you can view here .

A digital or paper copy should also be kept with you during your trip.

Depending on your country of origin, proof of vaccination may take the form of an:

• Australia - Immunisation history statement or COVID-19 digital certificate 
• EU - EU Digital COVID Certificate
• England - NHS COVID Pass 
• Scotland - Vaccination Status Record 
• Canada - Vaccination Records or receipts issued by province or territory, pending standardised proof of vaccination
• USA - CDC documentation 
• New Zealand - Vaccination confirmation letter

National certificates may alter if vaccination passports are created. Please check with us if you are unsure which documents are required.

Note entry and exit requirements governing international travel are constantly changing and it is imperative you check any requirements which need to be fulfilled before you travel, via your transit and destination country’s government websites.

Requirements may be more stringent than those required by us, and these may include requiring evidence of recent COVID-19 test results.

We acknowledge and accept your right to choose what is best for you as an individual.

Whilst this is the case, we take our responsibility to our participants and staff seriously and with this in mind, will not accept participants on our adventures in the absence of a valid, current vaccination or suitable exemption.

Our Terms and Conditions of participation related to cancellation will apply should you decide not to meet the requirements for joining your chosen adventure.

This also applies to those participants who have existing non-refundable Gift Vouchers and who booked before or during the pandemic.

You are able to transfer your place on a trip to another vaccinated participant if you are unable to join the trip due to your vaccination status. It is your responsibility to organise the transfer; and we require a minimum of 72 hours notice once you have made arrangements for your replacement.

We hold our responsibility to our global team in the same high regard as that of our participants.

In line with this commitment, all our leaders and staff must either be:

• Fully vaccinated, or 
• have a medical exemption and have tested negative to COVID-19 no more than 72 hours before they start a trip, or
• have tested negative to a RAT on the morning of departure

Our protocols have been carefully honed with your wellbeing in mind, however within all the risk mitigation strategies, it remains that COVID-19 is extremely contagious and there is a risk of exposure anywhere where people encounter one another which cannot be removed.

Acceptance of the inherent risk is voluntarily assumed by you when you when join our trips, though you should rest assured we have elevated our protocols with a heightened awareness of this new paradigm.
