FAQ

A: If you’re a beginner with your first 4WD, you can be assured of a safe and fun-filled trip. We can assist you with basic 4WD skills based on the terrain of each specific tour.

A: Depending on the location, you will need a 4WD vehicle with reasonably good ground clearance, along with a high/low transfer case. Family station wagons and other all-wheel-drive vehicles are not suitable for our tours.

A: When remote travel is involved, there are a few essentials. You need to have a UHF radio fitted for communication. Our team is able to hire or install one for you at your own cost. Most standard 4WD vehicles will be fine as long as you have good quality suspension and all-terrain tyres with at least 50% tread.

A: Our tours are accessible to everyone, including new 4WD owners and beginners. If you haven’t got much experience, don’t worry, we provide hands-on 4WD training to help you enjoy your Outback adventure.

A: In the rare event that a breakdown occurs, we will do our best to get you back on the road. If our qualified team can’t help, we will help you to a local garage for repair or recovery. We strongly recommend insurance and cover with your state motoring association (RACV, NRMA, RACQ, etc.). We carry a satellite phone so no one is ever truly stuck.

A: On some of our Outback tours, an appropriate heavy-duty 4WD trailer can be accommodated. While trailers are not appropriate for all of our tours, we can discuss the details with you prior to booking.

A: Depending on the tour, we generally travel up to 300 km per day to help ensure your safety. Each route and itinerary is discussed around campfire drinks or morning coffee, with the travelling day generally starting around 8-9 a.m. before lunch at 12-1 p.m.

A: At Tracks 4×4 Tagalong, our family-owned and operated business is proud to accommodate all adventure lovers. From solo travellers to couples and families, exploring the great Australian Outback is a fun learning experience for people of all ages. Sorry, pets are not allowed on our tours due to National Park restrictions.

A: Going on an isolated adventure holiday can be confronting. But don’t worry — we’ve done it all before and are more than happy to help. Once you make a booking, we will provide you with a list of what to pack.

A: We stay in a mixture of designated National Park campgrounds, private campgrounds, and bush camps. Facilities vary widely, from nothing at all to hot showers and flushing toilets.

A: Adam will be your guide on each trip, so everyone can benefit from his extensive knowledge of remote Australian and 4WDriving. While each trip is different, we usually have 4-8 cars in total depending on the tour.

A: Yes, you will need to provide all of your food and drinks for the period where we camp. On some tours, you will have the opportunity to purchase a meal at the local pub.

A: Yes, we have a fully equipped vehicle that is able to charge all of your electrical equipment when needed. However, limits may be placed based on the needs of other guests.

A: In some areas, depending on your network provider, there may be some coverage. However, due to the remote nature of these tours, you can also expect long periods with no coverage. We carry a satellite phone at all times.

A: Our tours are all-inclusive, including camping fees and entry permits to National Parks and Indigenous grounds. There will be an opportunity to enjoy third-party tours on some of our trips that have lay days, and this can be organised at your own expense.
