Can we customize our Rove Numby experience for more downtime or extra walking?
Absolutely! If your group has between 6 and 10 guests, we’d be delighted to tailor your Rove Numby experience. Whether you’re craving more downtime or extra walking, we’ll work with you to create the perfect itinerary. Just let us know your preferences when booking!
What’s the typical group size for a Rove Numby experience?
We usually host around 8 guests per adventure, with a maximum of 10. To ensure the experience runs smoothly, we require a minimum of 6 guests to run a Rove Numby Classic Walk Stay Feast Adventure.
How far do you walk?
Day 1 is an easy 2 hour return walk over rolling hills (roughly 5 kms) with a half hour stop at the halfway point to explore and have a swim in warm weather. Day 2 is a full day rove, covering approximately 14kms with one major hill summit in the morning. The rest of the day is through river flats and rolling hills. Day 3 is approximately 7 kms covering both hilly and flatter country.
Walks can be modified to suit the group, fitness levels and the weather.
Are the walks hard? How fit do I need to be?
Some bushwalking experience is recommended as the hikes do not follow designated paths the whole time. There are some steep hill sections and uneven terrain. Our hikes are designed assuming a reasonable level of cardio fitness, endurance and agility. You do not need to be super fit- we take our time on hill assents, but you do need to be able to walk at an average pace for 6 or more hours and be agile enough to walk on rocky surfaces for part of the day and climb over a fence or two! We will do our best to provide options to your group for faster and slower walkers however these are not always possible. Private groups can modify their walking route to suite their preferences and fitness levels or not walk at all!
Is there an age limit or any health restrictions for guests?
The minimum age for guests is 14.
If you are over the age of 75, and or have any serious health conditions, prior injuries or any disabilities that may affect you being able to safely complete the walks or maintain pace with the group, we require a doctors certificate outlining your condition and any possible risk factors at the time of booking. This is in the interest of your personal safety as well as the impact on the group as a whole. It does not mean you cannot come, but where possible, we may be able to tailor your Rove Numby experience to your needs
Are there toilets available on the walks?
It is old school spade and toilet paper on the walks during the day. There are 2 flushing toilets available at base camp.
What should I pack?
When your booking has been received, we will send you a detailed packing list. The most important things include, shoes- some good, broken in walking shoes (not runners or brand new hiking boots you bought on the way, trust us, wear them in!) and some wet shoes such as crocs or reef sandals as your hike will take you through the odd refreshing knee-deep creek, a lightweight raincoat/poncho, lightweight daypack with adequate water bottles and whatever creature comforts you can't live without! Also to avoid bites and scrapes, we don't recommend wearing shorts, tights are good, long pants are best.
