    Charles

    Asked on May 4th, 2025

    I am interested in the Cape York Frontier (Fly / Drive) tour for myself and my Mum in August, and I was hoping you could help me with a few questions please. Firstly, does the tour cater to vegan dietary requirements? Secondly, can you please confirm if the tour departing on Friday 22nd August still has two spots available? And lastly, can you please advise if the accommodation listed on the itinerary includes ensuites, or if any have shared facilities?

    • AAT KingsOperatorWritten May 2025

      The Vegan dietary requirements are able to cater within the tours. We will just take note of it for the booking. I can confirm to you that all rooms listed for the hotel are ensuite facilities. This tour needs you to fill out the Heritage Tours form. We will going to send you the form once you have confirmed your reservation.

      TravelerWritten May 2025

      If I proceed with the reservation but it turns out the tour is unavailable, can you please advise what the process is for returning the deposit please? Unfortunately we only have a small window so can only really go on the tour if it falls in mid - late August or early September.

    • AAT KingsOperatorWritten May 2025

      When the tour gets unavailable, the deposits will surely return to your account as we get declined it to the TourRadar platform. The TourRadar agent will also help you once the tour gets declined and they are the one who will process your deposit return.
