Why Adventure Wild is the Perfect Kimberley Tour for Over 50s
The Kimberley region of Australia's remote North West is a bucket-list destination—a rugged, breathtaking wilderness that promises adventure at every turn. But exploring this vast outback doesn't have to mean roughing it beyond your comfort zone.
For travellers over 50 who've earned their stripes and want a quality experience that balances excitement with ease, Adventure Wild Kimberley Tours offers a 12-day journey from Broome that's just right. Here's why so many mature adventurers call it their trip of a lifetime.
Comfort Meets Adventure—Without the Hassle
One of the standout features that makes Adventure Wild among the best Kimberley tours for seasoned travellers is how effortlessly it blends the thrill of the outback with the comforts you deserve.
Imagine arriving at a campsite after a day of exploring the Gibb River Road or the Bungle Bungles, only to find your tent already set up, spacious, and spotlessly clean. No unpacking, no pitching—just pure relaxation.
Travellers rave about this:
"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."
The swags ensure your bedding is secure and hygienically protected throughout your outback experience, you will wake up refreshed for the next day's discoveries.
For those who might not camp often—or haven't in years—the ease of this setup is a game-changer. "To be honest, I was a bit concerned how I would go, not being a camper or very fit," one guest shared. "But once I started, I was happily surprised that I was able to do all the walks and not miss out on seeing anything." Adventure Wild takes the worry out of the equation, letting you focus on the stunning landscapes and starry Kimberley nights.
Guides Who Make It Personal
What truly sets Adventure Wild's Kimberley tours apart is the team behind the journey. Led by mature, married couples with a deep love for the Kimberley, the guides bring a level of care and expertise that resonates with travellers who value knowledge and connection. "Our guides Phil & Liz were exceptional," one guest wrote. "Their deep knowledge of the region's history, flora, and fauna significantly enriched the experience." Whether it's sharing stories around the campfire or navigating tricky terrain, their passion shines through, making every moment educational and engaging.
This personal touch matters. For those travelling solo or seeking camaraderie, the guides foster a warm, welcoming vibe. "It was a milestone for me personally, being the first trip away on my own since my wife passed away," a guest reflected. "Phil and Liz were such great companions for this journey." With two guides on every tour, you're never just a number—you're part of a tight-knit group exploring the outback together.

A Pace That Suits You
The 12-day itinerary is thoughtfully designed to let you soak in the Kimberley's highlights—think Windjana Gorge, Home Valley and El Questro—without feeling rushed. "The tour was well-organised, with everything from transportation to camping gear expertly handled," a traveller noted. There's time to hike, swim in waterfalls, or simply sit back and enjoy the view. And for those who prefer a gentler pace, the walks are manageable, with plenty of support. "I had the best night's sleep!" another guest exclaimed, crediting the picturesque campsites and cozy setups.
The group dynamic adds to the appeal. "One of the most enjoyable aspects was the company of fellow travellers," a review highlighted. "We had many laughs and great conversations around the campfire." It's a chance to connect with like-minded adventurers who share your love for nature and discovery, creating memories that linger long after the trip ends.
