Bright Shaft provides guided walking tours across various locations in Australia. Our services include but are not limited to half-day tours, full-day tours, private group tours, and multi-day adventures.
All bookings are subject to availability. A booking is only confirmed once you receive written confirmation from us. We reserve the right to refuse any booking at our discretion.
Full payment is required at the time of booking for standard tours. For private and multi-day tours, a 50% deposit is required to secure your booking, with the balance due 14 days before the tour date.
All prices are in Australian Dollars (AUD) and include GST. Prices are subject to change without notice, but confirmed bookings will be honoured at the price quoted.
We reserve the right to cancel tours due to severe weather conditions, insufficient participant numbers, or other circumstances beyond our control. In such cases, you will receive a full refund or the option to reschedule.
Participants must be in reasonable health and fitness appropriate to the tour difficulty level. You must inform us of any medical conditions, allergies, or physical limitations that may affect your participation.
Participants under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Some tours may have minimum age requirements due to difficulty or duration.
Participants are responsible for wearing appropriate footwear and clothing as advised. We provide any specialised equipment required for specific tours.
Walking in natural environments involves inherent risks including but not limited to uneven terrain, wildlife encounters, weather changes, and physical exertion. By participating in our tours, you acknowledge and accept these risks.

We recommend that all participants have appropriate travel and personal accident insurance. Our liability coverage does not extend to personal belongings or travel arrangements.
Participants must follow the instructions of guides at all times. We reserve the right to remove any participant whose behaviour endangers themselves, others, or the environment, without refund.
All participants must adhere to Leave No Trace principles. Taking plants, animals, or geological specimens is strictly prohibited. All rubbish must be carried out.
