Question 1

Who are Curious Compass Collective tours designed for?

Accepted Answer

Curious, mature travellers — typically in their 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s plus — who want guided adventure at a thoughtful pace. If you're moderately active, age is no barrier! Groups are small (usually 12 to 14), solo travellers are warmly welcome, and you'll arrive as strangers and leave as a pride.

Question 2

How does the 20% deposit work?

Accepted Answer

Pay a 20% deposit online to secure your seat on any tour, or pay in full if you prefer. The balance is due 60 days before departure and we email you a friendly reminder before it's due.

Question 3

What happens if my plans change and I need to cancel?

Accepted Answer

Bookings made more than 65 days before departure can be cancelled within 14 days for a full refund under our Peace of Mind Guarantee. After that, your booking converts to a travel credit that never expires and can be used on any future Curious Compass Collective or HEY GC experience.

Question 4

How fit do I need to be for an outback road trip?

Accepted Answer

Comfortably mobile is the benchmark: able to walk a few kilometres over uneven ground, climb in and out of a 4WD and enjoy a full day out. Every tour page lists what to expect, and you can message us before booking for an honest answer about any itinerary.

Question 5

Do you run private or group tours?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Clubs, social groups and large families can have a private tour designed around their interests, pace and dates — anywhere in Australia or the Pacific. Send us an enquiry and we'll build a quote.
