Luggage is not to exceed 12 kg per person. It is requested that all passengers bring a soft bag, no suitcases with wheels, or hard body cases, as they never look the same again. An overnight bag is perfect or a smaller duffle-type bag. We have found that backpacks with external frames are difficult to stow. Please contact our office if you are unsure of the suitability of your luggage.

It is important that each person has their own bag. Do not pack for two people in one bag as this makes them too heavy to place in the storage area. Excessive luggage or unsuitable baggage will not be taken on board the vehicles - in this case you will be loaned a rainbow bag and asked to transfer your clothing etc. into this for the duration of the tour. Your own luggage will be stored at our office until completion of your tour. If you are unsure whether your bag will be suitable, please give us a call. A small day bag to carry items you will need to gain access to on the vehicle during the day is recommended as your main luggage bag will be stored away.
