How do you book?
Please contact us for rates, we have endeavoured to include as much value wherever possible without breaking the budget. We will only be too happy to customise your trail and there are a variety of options to choose from. The best way to do this is to drop us a line, discuss your ultimate adventure slack-packing trail with how ever many in your party and then let us take it from there.
​
The packages includes all guides and entry fees, all freshly prepared meals, soft drinks, water, beers, wine and some hard tack (within reason & if you have a special bottle of something you would like to bring, by all means please bring it), 1 turtle walk (seasonal) and a second walk optional, Kosi boat trip, ocean safari, masks & snorkels and pretty much everything besides gratuities. Feel free to bring a bit of cash if you would like a bit of spending money to buy a cold quart or support the local crafters.

Accommodation

- Towels are provided but we advise to bring a light towel or sarong for the days walk.
The Walk
- The trail is not a particularly challenging one for the seasoned trailer but it does require some level of fitness, the fitter you are the more you will enjoy it! We have had grand parents of over 80 walking with grand kids of 9. There are regular bail out points if for any reason, you have had enough walking for the day.
- There has been much debate around this and it comes down to personal preferences. There is no single shoe that suits the trail. We have walked the entire trail barefoot or with slops, with only the odd Acacia thorn being an issue, but light shoes that can dry quickly and a pair of slops is optimal in our opinion.
​
What to bring
-Light day pack with your essentials, keep it light & practical as to not weight yourself down.
-What not to bring - is a huge bag with a whole lot of stuff you don't need. Bring it back to the basics and just bring a few changes of clothes and a towel or two.
-The sun is a real thing here in Summer in Thongaland, so a hat, maybe a buff & long sleeve shirt in Summer. A light windbreak is highly recommended in your day pack.
​
Tips
- Share sunscreen and insect-repellent with your fellow hikers to avoid carrying 10 bottles.
- Don't bring any valuables that you will worry about, it's better for us, and you:)
