The local provider turned up on time and was very friendly and helpful. We started off at Kubah National Park which is actually a very physically demanding hiking trip. We had no idea of the physical demands of this tour and unfortunately could not participate due to health reasons. As a result, we ended up paying to go on a different tour entirely. I think Viator should include a recommended fitness rating for their tours. If we had known the requirements, we would have booked a different tour in the first instance and saved ourselves close to 300 AUD on an additional tour! I'm sure the park is worth seeing however I cannot comment as we couldn't participate. I would suggest a fitness rating of 45 if planning to book this tour. Before you even get to the trails, it is a 1.5 hr steep incline hike on hard surface.
