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.

Hi Simone
I’ve now had time to reflect on the amazing trip I had with Magnus and Wendy on the final tour of the season. What a wild ride with a few extras thrown in!! Magnus and Wendy are wonderful, so calm and competent in a crisis, felt like we were in very good hands with great back up from yourself and Karl.
Loved everything about the trip, especially the food. Very high standard with varied menu and always plenty. I don’t think I was ever actually hungry!
I have one small suggestion…Selleys EzyGlide on the tent zips to take away the anxiety of waking everyone when you need a nighttime trip to the loo!!!
I’m spreading the word so wish you both well in the future
Warm regards
Dear Simone
I was on the recent tour with Sarah and Peter. Here is my testimonial. Thank you for offering such a wonderful adventure!
I loved every bit of my tour with the family-owned Broome company, Adventure Wild. As a city slicker, it was a great adventure to sleep under canvas in a swag and to have the opportunity to explore the remote and fascinating Kimberley region. The walks were challenging but very rewarding as my rock-hopping skills improved. The swims in spectacular gorges were heavenly and luxurious after walking in 35+ degree temps.
Sarah and Peter were an excellent team, guiding us with endless patience and encouragement, sharing their intricate knowledge of the region, entertaining us with jokes (- thanks Peter!), and taking care of us in cases of mishap. Their energy, care and commitment were exceptional: driving over rough roads for long hours, directing the camp set-up, then immediately setting to work on preparing wholesome and delicious meals. They were on the go the whole time to make our journey as interesting and enjoyable as possible.
Our diverse group bonded quickly and we soon became an efficient team, having swags ready well before schedule, helping with cleaning up after meals, all the time enjoying the camaraderie.
Each day unveiled a new adventure in the wild and beautiful Kimberleys and although we did a lot of travelling, we had regular breaks for morning & afternoon tea and lunch. Thank you for making it possible for people like me to see this remote part of our country.
Hi Simone and Karl,
I have submitted a review about your wonderful company, trip and guides. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our Kimberley trip as did Lisa. Wendy and Magnus were fabulous and we couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to travel with. I wish you did trips in other parts of WA or in the rest of Australia as I would definitely be a frequent camper with you.
Thank you again
Google Review:
I had always yearned to experience the Kimberley region and thankfully I saw an ad in a Top End Holiday Guide for the Adventure Wild 12 day camping trip which did not include any additional cost for solo travellers. I mentioned it to my friend and after much discussion, decided to take the leap and so the booking process commenced. Dealing with Simone and Karl (owners) was easy and comforting – their professionalism and information regarding what to expect, what to pack, optional tours etc was exceptional.
Our guides – Magnificent Magnus 😁and his wife Wonderful Wendy😁 made us feel welcomed from pick up on Day 1 to drop off on Day 12. Magnus impressed us with his driving (we certainly experienced some rough terrain along the way – corrugated roads) and he ensured we were kept well informed with his extensive knowledge of the region. Wendy certainly kept us well fed with the most amazing freshly made meals (catering for some dietary requirements as well) we were also amazed at how she was able to produce these meals in such a confined space. Occasionally Magnus made a great dessert and cooked a mean BBQ. Thank you to both of you for making our experience so memorable.
Our group of people who all got on extremely well, enjoyed each others company, willingly helped with chores and were always ready on time hope to remain in touch via our chat group. Thank you all for being great travelling companions.
The majestic Kimberley region deserves to be seen, admired and preserved. I would highly recommend experiencing the area with Adventure Wild. Thank you Simone and Karl for a great experience.

Wonderful Kimberley Experience
This tour of the Kimberley was truly amazing. I was a bit anxious beforehand, not knowing if I would cope with the heat, exertion and the presence of crocodiles… But Liz and Phil our very experienced tour leaders made me feel completely safe and incredibly well cared for at all times, allowing me to completely relax and enjoy. Their kindness and regional knowledge were outstanding. Great food, nice camaraderie amongst fellow travellers and good camp setups all made for an absolutely wonderful trip. I highly recommend this tour.
From Trip Advisor:
Fantastic tour of the Kimberley with a great local company.
Fantastic locally owned company in Broome Western Australia. Very friendly & efficient staff from our first enquiry to the end of our tour & beyond. Our tour was 12 days in the Kimberley & Bungle Bungles, camping & hiking. Our tour drivers/guides Sarah & Pete did an amazing job. Great driving on some very rough roads, then hiking with us showing us the amazing Kimberley sights & waterfalls. Then at camp served up fantastic meals. We all had a wonderful time, we were looked after very well, nothing was a trouble. Lots of fun & new friends made – very special times – the nights by the campfire & those amazing stars most evenings were special.
I have no hesitation in recommending Adventure Wild, you will love it.
Cheers
As a novice camper, I had a few concerns going on a 12 day camping trip. Despite this, my husband and I had a fantastic experience from the get-go. Simone, the Managing Director responded to my online query on a Sunday afternoon before I even got off my PC. Her enthusiasm and help made a fantastic first impression. On day 1 we were collected at our Air B&B by Karl to meet up with the bus a few minutes away. Our guides Liz and Phil were very welcoming, informative, great fun and supportive. They paid equal attention and genuine interest in every traveller. Liz and Phil were always calm and reassuring if anyone had anxieties or concerns with not keeping up with the group or not being confident in the water. eg. swimming short river crossing or swimming gorges. Being prepared, Liz and Phil supplied swimming noodles and walking poles which were of great assistance. Our hosts did a fantastic job providing a variety of healthy, quick camp meals and there was always enough to come back for seconds. Our itinerary for the next day was always clearly communicated the night before. (Note: the Kimberley is vast and early mornings are required to set off on our day’s travel.)
We had a great group dynamic fortunately and enjoyed participating in setting up our dining area, helping with dinner and doing the dishes. There was much laughter which carried on after dinner with camp side fires. The campsites did vary in quality regarding the shower amenities and facilities, however it made the 2 night stays in the better camping sites all the more appreciated eg. washing machines, bars, live entertainment. The optional side trips, cruising the Chamberlain and Ord Rivers (Lake Argyle) are not to be missed. For the more adventurous, the helicopter ride over the Bungle Bungles is magnificently scenic. However the journey in/out of the national park on the same day is quite long with a windy road, so be prepared.
I would highly recommend Adventure Wild for their professionalism and hard working commitment to their travellers. Wishing all the best to Karl, Simone, Liz and Phil.
Hi Simone
Good to hear from you. I just posted comments on Facebook on the two photos from me.
Thank you so much for the two canvas bags. We love their quality and will use them whenever packing is needed.
This Wed, Peter and I gave a presentation of our Kimberley trip in a seniors group called Senior Citizens Club for residents in our local Council. The room has a white screen and projector system. 12 local residents watched and listened attentively and really liked the videos and interesting background we’ve learned about Broome, Wyndham and Kununurra.
The videos were Peter’s Bungle Bungle aerial view from the helicopter, my aerial view of Kimberley’s coastline from a scenic plane and another video on our whole camping trip. In the presentation, the route map from your website was really good, definitely better than a Google map for the Kimberley region.
Simone, you’re doing really well in encouraging prospective travellers to join your camping tour. I wish you all the best in every dry season of operation. Take care and find time to slow down for a wonderful life of joy and hope. Please also send my best regards to Sarah and Peter, two best friends in work and private life. It’s so nice meeting them on tour.
Best Regards
The Adventure Wild Kimberley experience was fantastic.
Peter and Sarah our tour leaders obviously love the Kimberley and they shared that love with us. They were respectful and caring and enabled the group to come together quickly to form a supportive team.
The scenery was breath taking and majestic. The food was excellent, nourishing and varied throughout the trip. The activities available were varied and had reasonable price points. It was one of the best holidays I’ve ever had. Peter and Sarah were fantastic shepherds of the group and provided humour, guidance and boundaries as required.
Great experience.

Brilliant, highly memorable trip with excellent operator
I was a bit nervous about this trip as I hadn’t done an adventure camping tour for decades. However, straight from my initial communication with Simone from Adventure Wild, with her excellent customer service, I immediately got a strong gut feeling that this was the right company to do the Kimberlys with and I was not disappointed. The trip was absolutely brilliant, and our guides, Sarah and Pete, did a fabulous job. We did and saw so much in a day, way more than is mentioned in the itinerary, and the food was always delicious and plenty of it. The word on the ground from optional tour providers was that Adventure Wild was the best operator in the Kimberlys, and I’m not surprised. We were fortunate to have a less than a full tour, and having some extra space on the bus definitely helped with comfort levels, especially given some long days travelling. The trip and the beauty of the Kimberlys definitely exceeded my expectations, and I would not hesitate to recommend Adventure Wild. We were also blessed to have a great group of like-minded travellers who enjoyed lots of laughs over nibbles and dinner together at the end of each fabulous day. Thank you to Simone, Pete, Sarah & everyone on the tour for your contribution to a fabulous, highly memorable adventure holiday.
Dear Simone,
Thankyou for your email re our recent tour of the Kimberley with your organisation. I thought I would just write down a few thoughts re ’the trip’.
1. Overall organisation:-
A very efficiently run company with good responsiveness to queries and an ability to be flexible re times by which things needed to be ‘locked in’. ie deciding which optional trips to undertake. All staff that I had any dealings with were helpful, competent and prompt.
2. Itinerary:-
An ambitious schedule obviously designed to try and showcase as much of the area’s diverse attractions as possible in the available time. This is very attractive and I commend the planners for the choices made as to which areas to visit, bearing in mind that different people will have varying opinions on what is a ‘must see’. Given the area to be covered is quite large and that the allocated time is limited, choices have to be made as to what to see and how much time is spent at each venue. I feel that a good compromise was struck on this tour.
I personally would have preferred more time in some locations investigating local flora and fauna, and less time in swimming holes, but I am aware that this is a minority view. Having to travel long distances meant a lot of time in the bus/truck looking out the windows. This is great for general ’scenery’ viewing but frustrating if something interesting is observed, as the vehicle can’t just keep stopping!
3. Campsites/accommodation:-
This is after all a camping trip and as such, a degree of compromise is obviously required re comfort. Overall the campsites were adequate, with some being better than others, particularly in the area of ablutions! The tents were serviceable and roomy and, as they were already set up for us at each site (with one exception) I found them to be more than adequate and easy to use. I felt that the (supplied) ’swags’ ie combination mattress, sheet, pillow and sleeping bag and cover were a good idea. These could be rolled up into a bundle and transported from place to place on our bus. It would seem that most people found them to be quite adequate, although I found the padding to be a bit thin. I also found the nights a bit cold for me, even though I was wearing numerous layers of clothing. That being said, I did manage to get a reasonable amount of sleep most nights.
4. Meals:-
I found the meals to be of excellent quality, quantity and variety, although they were predominately ‘western’ style meals that may not appeal to all tastes. A vegetarian option was always offered.
5. Tour Guides:-
For this trip we had two staff (Liz and Phil) that acted not only as drivers and tour guides but also cooks, first aid officers, general fonts of information re the area, geology, flora and fauna, and indigenous people and were all ’round friendly and approachable. I can not speak highly enough of the professionalism of them both while at the same time they were very pleasant people. They put up with my tardiness on the walks, my endless questions about the flora and fauna, and my grumbles with tolerance and understanding. I felt like they were old friends after only a few hours acquaintance .
In summary i would highly recommend this company and this tour to anyone that has always wanted a ‘Kimberley adventure’ but has neither the equipment, time, knowledge or experience to ’self cater’.
Best regards
