We strongly recommend that you book accommodation with a flexible cancellation policy. During the summer season, cancellations are highly unlikely, unless due to unforeseen circumstances. On occasion, our tours may be re-scheduled or cancelled, so for your own peace of mind we recommend that you book accommodation that is fully cancellable.
The Hairy Coo cannot be held liable for accommodation cancellation charges in the event of tour cancellation.

We would also expect everyone to bring one larger piece of luggage, a suitcase or backpack, which we will put in the hold of the bus during transit. This can weigh up to 15kgs per passenger and does not need to stick to any dimension restrictions as we understand those vary. The luggage restriction has been included to ensure that not all guests join the tour with excessive luggage as our vehicles do not have the space to hold too much.
