We are pleased to release our Northern Territory Rates for the 2018/19 season.

2018/2019 for Wayoutback is not only about focussing on consistency but also continuing to improve our service to our agents, experiences for our guests and promote the Northern Territory as a holiday destination of choice to travellers from all over the world. The Maruku Indigenous Cultural Experience at Uluru and the Endless Star Dining experience at our private permanent campsite at Yulara continue to impress all who travel with us and will remain in the 4WD Red Centre program for the coming season. Departure days will also remain the same in both the Red Centre and Top End on all tours and we will be reintroducing the very popular visit to Oak Valley Aboriginal Community on the final day of the 5 day 4WD Kangaroo Dreaming Safari in the Red Centre. We are also pleased to introduce a new day tour to the West MacDonnell Ranges in the Red Centre which is the perfect way for travellers who are short on time to experience one of the most beautiful parts of Central Australia.

Product Summary for 2018/19

PRODUCT PRICING
We are pleased to advise there have been no increase in pricing on our 18/19 product range. We have in fact had price reductions on our 3 Day 4WD Dragonfly Dreaming Top End Safari in Lodge Accommodation (WT403AT) during the wet season and our 4 Day 4WD Red Centre Wallaby Dreaming (W04) and 5 Day Kangaroo Dreaming (W05) in the Red Centre.

NEW FAMILY AND FRIENDS FOUR OR MORE FARES
Replacing our Family Saver Rates on our 3 Day 4WD Goanna Dreaming (W03) and 3 Day 4WD Dragonfly Dreaming (WT403) is the Family and Friends Four or More fares. Available on ALL Camping Safaris 3 days or more in duration when travelling in a group of 4 or more, guests can now save 5% off the Retail rates for core Safari products in the Red Centre and Top End including WD03, WD04, W03, W04, W05, WT03, WT403, WTA04, WT05 and WTA05. This discount is not available on any packages, accomodated safaris or our Cicada Dreaming Safari. The multi tour discount remains for those booking an Open Aged Safari of 3 days or more duration in the Red Centre and Top End. Discounts are not available in conjunction with each other or on any other offer.

DEVELOPMENT OF FACILITIES IN THE TOP END FOR OUR CLASSIC OPEN AGE 4WD SAFARIS (WT403, WTA04, WT05, WTA05)
We have continued to invest heavily in upgrading our campsites and exisiting facilities at all sites to ensure they are the best in the business. All of the permanent tents at our campsites in the Top End now have solar lights and fans and we have moved from our old campsite at Springvale Homestead in Katherine to a brand new site located on the Gorge Road leading into Nitmiluk. Many of the tents have also had their roof's and floors replaced to ensure they are kept in prisitine condition for the coming season. Our lodge accomodated 3 day 4WD Dragonfly Dreaming and 4 day 4WD Arnhemland Safaris continue to be a huge hit with those guests wanting slightly more comfort when travelling in the Top End and are a great choice for those passengers who are travelling during the Tropical Summer Season on the Dragonfly Dreaming Safari. The 1 day Gecko Dreaming Safari ex. Jabiru is in its second year of operation and is perfect for those self drive clients who are already in Kakadu National Park and are looking to visit Twin and Jim Jim Falls for the day

We have also increased the quality of all of our campsites used in our Red Centre program with many undergoing significant refurbishments and solar lighting being added to all of the tents at each camp. Our three private permanent campsites located at Kings Creek Station have all received an additional toilet and shower each and we have updated our guide training program to include a greater focus on customer service, local history and Indigenous Culture

Cancellation by Wayoutback
Safety is our number one priority and at times Wayoutback may have to cancel a tour or service. In the event we do have to cancel, every effort will be made to offer a suitable alternative. If the alternative is not suitable we will refund your tour price in full. We reserve the right to cancel a tour, arrange an alternative operator (if possible) if group numbers are insufficient or combine tours of differing standards in the event that low numbers are endangering a scheduled departure being cancelled.  In this instance guests will always be upgraded to a higher standard product. Guests travelling on a .tour with upgraded guests will not be entitled to refunds in these instances. WAS reserves the right to have multi-level pricing on products where it is necessary to ensure guests travel plans are not disrupted. In circumstances where the cancellation is due to external factors beyond our control, any potential refund will be less any unrecoverable cost which we may have incurred.

All of our menus are designed to be well balanced and healthy to provide the necessary sustenance for you to enjoy and participate in your tour. If you have any food allergies or specific dietary needs please contact us to discuss these requirements and we will advise you if they can be catered for. As we operate in remote parts of Australia, certain foods are not always readily available. We may have to substitute our menus as supply dictates therefore we cannot guarantee all ingredients contained in these alternatives. In these instances we will advise you to provide your own supplementary food/ snacks depending on your specific requirements.

Change of Itinerary

Wayoutback Australian Safaris reserves the right to amend tour times, itineraries and fares for its products as circumstances, time of year and operational reasons occur.

No compensation will be considered for any additional driving or time lost due to such changes.

Acceptance of risk

Australia has many dangerous creatures, extreme weather conditions and often varying terrain. Camping, hiking and passing time outside may increase your personal risk of exposure to these dangers. Safety is our number one priority and all of our guides are highly trained to ensure passenger safety at all times. All passengers participating in one of our Wayoutback Safaris do so at their own risk and no responsibility can be accepted by WAS for any loss, injury or accident. All passengers will be required to sign a Liability Waiver prior to departure. If you would like a copy of this in advance, please contact our Sales Centre. The minimum age for children travelling on our tours is 5 years at the time of travel. All passengers under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult or caregiver at all times. While all care is taken, the responsibility of children on tour rests entirely with the parent or caregiver. All passengers, including children, must wear shoes at all times, use sunblock and wear hats. 

Limitation of Liability

We contract with a network of companies and individuals to assist in operating our tours. Wayoutback works with the best operators available but takes no responsibility for any act of neglect by any operator whose services are used as part of your trip. Our suppliers make every effort to safeguard clients, and we cannot be held responsible for personal injury or sickness to any customer which is beyond our control. Passengers should note that adventure travel involves a higher than normal risk and a signed release may be required from all participants from a number of our activity providers.

Travel Insurance

Travel Insurance is compulsory for all passengers travelling on our tours. This should be taken out at the time of booking and must provide cover against personal accident, death, medical expenses and emergency repatriation with a reccomended minimum coverage of US$200,000 for each of the catgories of cover. We also strongly recommend it covers cancellation, curtailment, personal liability and loss of luggage and personal effects. Each passenger will be required to show proof of their travel insurance on the first day of their tour. Passengers who are unable to show their policy documents will not be able to join the tour without it.

Authority on Tour

We pride ourselves on the very high standard of our guides. Wayoutback is one of only a few Advanced ECO Accredited tourism operators based in the Northern Territory. All guides have a sound knowledge of the local area focusing on its history, Aboriginal culture, geology and the natural environment. Passengers must abide by the tour guides instructions and directions at all time, in particular with regard to actions and behaviour in National Park areas, Aboriginal communities, areas with elevated hazards or risks and emergency situations. Non-compliance with any directions from the tour guide or other authority may result in the passengers being refused onward travel with no right to refund. All vehicles are fitted with a microphone and WAS will ensure to the best of its ability to have them all in good working order. Due to the environment in which we are travelling, heat, humidity and dust often have an adverse effect on electronics within the vehicles and as such their use cannot be guaranteed. In such instances guides will make every effort to ensure commentary of significant importance is heard by all but no compensation will be due.
