We were surprised at how comfortable the swags were, appreciated the fact that we didn’t have to unpack and put up tents at each site.
Judy & Steve Lukacs
The tents, sleeping swags and locations to camp were great. I had the best night sleeps!
Jen, Joe & Jack Previtera
The campsites were always clean, well maintained and located in picturesque surrounds. Being in the outback is the best! The tents are clean and spacious and even the swags are cosy. The sleeping bags give the 5 Star touch with their delightful silky linings.
Jenny McKenzie-Murray
Our tented accommodation left nothing wanting and our bags, swags, sleeping bags and water bottles kept us comfortable and warm.
Denis & Shirley Ranger
Great trip. The fixed tents, swags and sleeping bags were clean, warm and comfortable.
Jos Benner
To be honest I was a bit concerned how I would go not being a camper or very fit. But once I started I was happily surprised that I was able to do all the walks and not miss out on seeing anything.
Rebecca Lingam
The camping experience was great. Having the tents already set up makes life very easy and the swags with sheets make for a fairly comfortable night. We enjoyed sitting round the campfire and chatting and playing games many evenings.
Meryl & Glenn Jackson
The camping experience was great fun and campfires at night added to the experience.
Steve & Connie Calderwood
Hi Simone,
I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful trip – it was amazing- you have been wonderful to deal with and Kylie and Dean were amazing hosts.
We will be posting a great review on TA when we get time.
Thanks
Hi Simone and Karl,
Hope your tour organisation isn’t proving too disastrous with all that is happening at the moment. Fiona and I want to share with you our thoughts on our recent tour with Dean and Kylie. The trip was quite a challenge for Fiona as she had never camped before but we were both delighted with the trip and extremely impressed and appreciative of the effort put in by Dean and Kylie. They were great fun, a really lovely couple to spend time with and so hard working. No effort was to much and they went overboard to accommodate each of us on the tour. The meals that Kylie managed to make on the tour were amazing. She went above and beyond our expectations.
Thanks to their efforts, Both Fiona and I had a memorable time.
Thnx to all of your team. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Adventure Wild to others.
Regards
Hi Simone,
Wow!
We had the best time on our Adventure Wild holiday. As I said earlier, Dean & Kylie are amazing. They are a real asset for your company.
Tour 30 June – 11 July 2021
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Prior to taking the tour, we had little appreciation for what a magnificent, extraordinary and diverse landscape the Kimberley is. The tour itinerary was well planned, allowing us to experience the best of the Kimberley in an authentic way. Our expert guides, Gools and Thommo, shared their amazing knowledge of the Kimberley region, relaying stories from locals which added humour and gave us better insight into the life and culture of this region.
The campsites were clean, well laid out and the tents and swags were really very comfortable. Meals were plentiful with good variety; no one ever went hungry.
Gools and Thommo ran the tour like a well-oiled machine, always keeping us up to date of what was coming up. They showed genuine care for everyone, showing consideration for our individual needs and, at all times, our safety and enjoyment.
We enjoyed gorge hikes, swims in rock pools and beneath waterfalls, sitting around the campfire and dinner table and enjoying the company of our new friends.
The variety of optional tours is fantastic. Adventure Wild coordinate these, which made the tour so easy for the guests. These tours are well worth it.
This was a trip of a lifetime and will never be forgotten. We highly recommend the team at Adventure Wild, with many thanks to Gools, Thommo, Simone
Hi Simone,
I wanted to tell you what a great time we had and that it was worth the years wait!!
Thanks for everything.
Hello Simone & Karl,
We would like to express our admiration to you both for the complete professionalism you showed us . We thoroughly enjoyed the experience, your choice of trip hosts in Dean and Kylie made the whole adventure something special and we will not forget our Kimberley exploration. We reckon you should invite them into the firm as stakeholders. The care and concern they showed was outstanding, we will never forget them.
Cheers and best wishes
Hello Simone,
Your Broome to Broome trip was amazing in itself. Dean and Kylie made it HUGELY even better. And as an added bonus, the group was great fun.
Best wishes.
Hi Simone,
Thank you so much for organising this trip. I know you have put in so much time to continually rearrange schedules for passengers due to COVID cancellations. Lisa and I were very lucky to have got in on time, and did we have a fantastic trip- WOW! Kylie and Dean were wonderful guides, their humour and enthusiasm kept spirits high over the 1,000,000 bumps along the Gibb river road. Kylie can create amazing gourmet food out of leftovers, Dean can fix tyres and rocks stuck in wheels like he has been doing it for years – and all with a big smile.
Loved It – thank you.
Kind regards
OUR KIMBERLY TRIP
We all came to Broome to do the Kimberly trip, we thought it might rain, but there was nary a drip.
Gools and Thommo picked us up in the bus, and we were away without any fuss.
Then off we drove to the big hollow tree, where they used to keep prisoners, maybe one, two or three.
These Boab trees are an interesting sight, just look to the left and off to the right.
Next an ancient reef where the river cut a tunnel, that sucked us right in – just like down a funnel.
We waded on through, mostly in dark, but with our headlights we could see the bright spark
of crocodile eyes – do believe me, I tell you no lies.
On we went to Windjana Gorge and (while on our walk), new friendships did forge.
We are Alex, Deb, and Kylee; Duncan and Jane; Geoff and Sandy; Dave and Joanne; Chris and Julie; and of course our guides – Thommo and Gooley – Gools for short.
And now we are on the Gibb River Road. Our bus was designed to carry the load, of us and our stuff and plenty of food, and enough booze to keep us all in the mood, for more days of walking, and round campfire talking.
The road is rough, but hey – we’re tough, and onward we bounce – without losing an ounce.
Now on to Bell gorge for a walk, and a swim – at the top of the big water fall, or maybe below if you happened to fall, while walking along too close to the edge, where there’s nothing to warn you, not even a hedge.
At Manning river we stop for the night, right next to the river, now there’s a fine sight.
Next morning across the river we swim – and walk along the canyon wall, to another great big waterfall. Everyone goes for a swim in the pool. If you don’t go in you feel like a fool.
On the walk in, young Sandy had a slip. She hurt her wrist, lucky it wasn’t a hip.
Gools wrapped it up with a splint and she kept right up with us, wherever we went. This little lady has a spirit like flint.
Back on the road and we’re bouncing along, if it wasn’t so noisy we could all sing a song. And after another long long day, we finished up – El Questro way, for a couple of nights – while most did the flights – up to the Mitchell plateau, and then you can go – up in a helicopter to see the river flow.
And through some more gorges we were privileged to walk, while superguide Gools gave us a talk – on flowers and trees, and the birds and the bees.
While walking the gorges I heard it said, if you want to get lost, then just follow Deb.
A sunset we watched, up at the lookout – then on back to camp for another great cookout.
Onwards we drove to Emma – to walk to magnificent pools, just as we were promised by Gools.
Leaving Emma gorge we were soon off the Gibb, on the black top road, and hurah hurah, we’ve made it to Kun nun nara.
Whilst in this campground next to a lake, most of us some tours did take. Big barra were caught by Chris and Julie, and we all had a feast fixed by Thommo and Gooley, sorry – Gools.
On down the road to another campground – where we couldn’t have a fire – and we sat round the table in our winter attire.
In the early hours laying awake with everyone snoring, one could only be thankful it would soon be morning.
Next dawn a dingo, maybe out for a run – let out a howl – to welcome the sun.
Early back on the bus on a rough twisty track – through little creeks and neat stuff like that, we came at last to the Bungle Bungle. What’s that I hear, you expected a jungle?
No jungle here, just fabulous rocks – eroded into these massive domes on which lots of termites have made their homes, in little domes.
These rocks are in layers of red and of black. Take lots of pictures, you may not be back.
Then from Piccaninny to Echidna the road is quite long, and up front Gools and Thommo sing that old song – “Shake it, don’t break it” – as we roll along. After each creek crossing, check the tires for rocks, Thommo keep us safe – we don’t need any shocks.
Back at camp for another great meal, and next morning to Halls Creek and Fitzroy Crossing we wheel, maybe interesting places if it’s indigenous culture you seek. We have been going now well over a week.
Riding down the road, to pass the time, Thommo tells us interesting stories of the this country’s glories.
Now in our last campground it’s just us you see, with all the folks up here you think – how can that be?
One last swim in our own billabong we should be inspired to break out in song.
Tomorrow back to Broome, dusty and tired, for sure we’ve all had our ADVENTURE WILD.
Thank you Gools, thank you Thommo; and thank you Simone.
KIMBERLEY TOUR 5-16 MAY 2021
What a wonderful experience, thank you Adventure Wild!
The first tour of the season faced many problems due to a late wet season, but these were dealt with efficiently and effectively by our wonderful guides Thommo and Gools, backed up by Simone in Broome, so that we missed none of the attractions promised.
The Gibb River Road was closed due to flooding, so we did the trip in the reverse direction, easy! While it meant some changes to camp sites, we all appreciated the extra day at El Questro’s great facilities. The Mitchell Falls helicopter tour was also threatened, with the operator unable to get vehicles in, but Gools and Simone wouldn’t be beaten. They worked tirelessly right up to the last minute with Rosie of Kingfisher Tours, cajoling multiple helicopter firms to meet our requirements; we so greatly appreciated their efforts in securing this fantastic experience.
Thommo and Gools were amazing, nothing was too much trouble for them. Their knowledge of the region was impressive and the meals were varied and always delicious. You felt safe with them at all times as they constantly kept an eye out for you and clearly described any challenges presented on the wonderful walks.
As a medium budget, fantastic experience it was excellent value; I certainly recommend Adventure Wild.
