Notice
Moderate Fitness Rating - A moderate level of fitness will be required for these tours due to the length and/or overall physicality of our tour itinerary. Some days you can expect to walk more than 10,000 steps daily on more challenging terrain and longer periods. You must be capable of boarding and disembarking coaches, and boats unaided and at times handle your luggage. For more information about our Fitness Criteria please CLICK HERE.
Travel Distances - One of the unexpected joys of this journey is the time spent on the road together — travelling through vast, ever-changing landscapes that many people never get to experience. These longer coach journeys aren’t just about getting from A to B; they’re part of the adventure, offering a front-row seat to Australia’s remote beauty, from wetlands and outback plains to boab country and big Kimberley skies.
They also create space to slow down, chat, laugh, share stories and truly connect as a group. With regular comfort stops, scenic breaks and your Sisterhood hostess and coach captain bringing the region to life along the way, the journey becomes as meaningful as the destinations themselves — a chance to bond, reflect and enjoy the simple pleasure of travelling together.
