F.A.Q: 

• The tours are run on partial participation which we believe generates friendship and conversation, i.e. assisting  with preparation of meals, peeling potatoes and carrots etc., collecting firewood and maybe filling up some  water buckets. They help with cleaning up e.g.. washing and wiping and also they erect their own tents after being shown how on the first evening. The driver does all operations around the fire, mainly for safety reasons,    e.g.. cooking, lighting etc.
• The maximum number of passengers we normally have in one group is 20 but this depends on the time of year that you intend to travel.
• Toilets at camp are either flushing or pit type and either a shower or swim at night.
• Wet weather gear is not normally required in Cape York, if you wish maybe you can use a spray jacket as your  jumper.
• The 9 Day tour’s plane size depends on what is available at that time, but normally we use as small a plane as possible e.g. 6 - 10 seats.
• The vehicle seats are padded bucket seats and although we modify our suspensions and make our vehicles ride as comfortable as possible, the roads to Cape York can be extremely corrugated and rough in places.
• You may bring your own sleeping bags if you wish, but we happily supply fresh laundered sleeping bags at no charge when requested. We also supply air mattresses with separate blow up pillow which are far more comfortable than foam, these are approx. 4 inches (100mm) thick.
• Our tours are designed to show you the best of Cape York without trying to do too many kilometers per day.  Our guides are chosen for their ability to enjoy their work, besides the necessary abilities required such as driving, cooking, good humour etc. These guides are known in the Cape as the only ones who have people consistently happy and in this industry a happy tourist is a satisfied one.
• Billy Tea Safaris normally runs an honesty tin for drinks ( beer, wine, soft drink ) with any profits going to the Royal Flying Doctor Service at the end of tour. This keeps drink prices relative and evenly priced for they are exorbitantly expensive in Upper Cape York. Water, cordial, tea and coffee are available with most meals and if you have any special needs ( food or medical ) please advise us well before departure or when booking.
• As per government regulations, smoking is not permitted in vehicles. Ample stops provide time for "smoking  breaks" en route.
