GENERAL

Bali has a delightful Tropical climate with average temperatures from 28 – 34 degrees celsius plus the weather is often very humid during the wet season which lasts from approximately November through to late March.

CLOTHING

Walking is a fun and entertaining pastime in Bali, but the climate will easily induce the walker to feel sticky hot and often uncomfortable and sweaty. Therefore it is best that loose cool clothes be worn during these walks to maximise your personal walking comfort

SUITABLE WALKING SHOES

“Walking in Bali can be challenging as many pavements drains and roads are unmade It is essential therefore to wear suitable flat footwear during these walks For your own protection we are reluctant to accept high heels or unstable footwear as we need to protect our Walkers with maximum comfort and safety Walkers with unsuitable footwear maybe asked to rebook for an alternative day.

We require all Walkers to have sensible shoes with good grips, preferably trainers or runners. High heel shoes are not suitable for our Walks and will be rebooked for another time.

Bali has many uneven surfaces and often pot holes and extraneous items. Our Guides will alert Walkers to any difficult terrain such as open drains or rocks etc.

However we are not responsible for any injuries caused through inadequate footwear or non compliance. Turning an ankle along the way due to poor footwear is an unnecessary challenge for you and your guides to assist and get you back to a place of assistance or medical help.

TOUR NUMBERS

“Our Guides are trained to take care of 12/15 Walkers per Group.
We allow 12/15 Audio sets per tour to ensure that each Walker has full hearing and enjoys the experience. Additional Walkers cannot join as they will be unable to hear the audio talks.”

NUMBER OF GUIDES

We have a one Chief Guide per Walk, and a Crew Support person Walkers are requested to follow the Guides instructions and suggestions. Our Chief Guide will conduct the Tour and Lead the way. Our Crew Support Guide will follow on the motorbike and be responsible for Tour Safety, supply of Cold Drinks and Towels, and any other needs of our Walkers.

We take time to explain the walk and set each of our Walkers with Audio hearing and leave promptly on time.

LEVEL OF FITNESS

Walking Tours are approximately 3 kilometres or 1.88 miles As long as you exercise on a regular basis you will be okay The Walk is not fast, but is at a general medium walking pace with stops as required for the Guide to explain some point of interest.
