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
This dream began in Brisbane in 2014 at the Bucket list expo where we met Thommo & Gools who were promoting the Adventure Wild Kimberley tours. Their passion and love of what they do was inspiring and we signed up. Getting information and silly questions answered was done so well by Simone in the office. You must be a very patient and methodical person. The actual tour far exceeded any expectations I had.
Once inducted into the ‘systems’ for the smooth running of our tour we settled back and had the most amazing time. The landscapes are wonderful but that was enhanced by the information we received from Thommo and Gools about everywhere we went in our Bruck (we were not to call it a bus!). Our group was a bunch of lovely, interesting and generous people. I have no hesitation to recommend Adventure Wild and Thommo and Gools to anyone who will listen to me. This was the highlight of my holidays, though I really like bitumen to drive on.
Thank you Thommo, Gools and Simone for looking after us so well, feeding us the most beautiful meals and showcasing what the Kimberley has to offer. This one is going to be hard to top.

We loved our holiday. Mike keeps saying that it was the BEST holiday we have ever had. We have made new friends and have amazing memories to keep forever.
The Kimberley is awesome and it was so interesting to learn about the geology of this ancient area.
Thank you Liz and Phil for your care and guidance. You went way beyond the call of duty and I can safely say, for all of us I think, that you are the best!
Thank you for making this possible.
We will be back!

WOW, WOW, WOW !
Trying to find enough good words to say how fabulous this trip was is almost impossible. Highly professional and seamless, your staff are incredible from point of initial contact and booking, through to delivery of everything promised and so much more. Attention to detail, personable engagement and making your customers experience “one of the highlights of their lifetime” are just some of your points of excellence.
To Phil and Liz, a heartfelt thank you! You are amazing guides who deliver in spades and go above and beyond every day to ensure your clients comfort, happiness and enjoyment. You are exemplary ambassadors for your company and made my trip the wonder that it was.
I couldn’t recommend Adventure Wild highly enough.

What a trip!!! We haven’t stopped talking about the awesome 12 days we had with Adventure Wild with Carmel and Mark. From the minute we stepped on board we felt so welcome and the feeling only got better. In no time at all we knew the rest of the group and it soon became one big happy family. We had never camped before and it didn’t take long to learn the routine and how much fun sleeping in tents on swags could be.
The meals which Carmel and Mark produced daily were exceptional as were the cheese, crackers and nibbles which we washed down with a beer or glass of wine after an exhausting day of exploring caves, gorges, waterfalls, pools and scenery which was breathtakingly beautiful.
Carmel and Mark’s planning, organizing and sharing of so much history and information on wildlife, plants and places we had been or were about to visit was outstanding.
We would not hesitate to recommend Adventure Wild and this trip to anyone considering it.

Hi Simone
Having spent a lot of our lives travelling, Adventure Wild has provided just the best experience to date. The landscapes were fabulous, but you know that already.
It is your big competitive advantage that made it all so special. Firstly, Gools and Thommo. Where did you find this couple? Outstanding knowledge of the history and culture, hilarious anecdotes and personal stories, amazing patience and then there were the meals. Every night we wondered “how did they do that?” Wonderful guides and wonderful people.
The second big competitive advantage is you. Thank you Simone. The pre-trip notes and advice you provide covered all the things we needed to know to enhance the travelling experience despite the absence of Swag Rolling detail. Probably best not to go into too much depth there so as to preserve the surprise.
We also really appreciated your prompt and helpful replies to all of the emails I sent prior. You must operate on Eastern time or not much sleep.
So a heartfelt thank you to you, Gools and Thommo and the rest of the team.
Warm Regards

We had a wonderful time along the Gibb river road. Gools and Thommo were exemplary guides who met everyone’s needs and created a cohesive, happy group initially from 16 strangers.
As a coeliac on a strict gluten free diet, Gools produced delicious and safe versions of what the group were dining on with lots of variety in the cuisine – no basic camp tucker here!
Thanks Adventure Wild for a memorable trip

A big THANK YOU to all of you! It was an awesome tour! Everything was planned and organized in an excellent manner. 100% preparation is already 90% of the success. This tour was really a 100% success. Mark and Carmel you were excellent guides and you surprised us every day again with fantastic meals. As a camping newbie I was really fascinated what you prepared every day.
You showed us lots of beautiful spots in the Kimberley. Frederik and I enjoyed swimming in all the wonderful gorges. We have taken hundreds of photos and we still have not managed to sort them out properly.
I sincerely hope that I have the chance to do this tour again. But then of course I would not cut the trip short and take the full tour in order to also see the Bungles. It is definitely worthwhile to fly half round the world from Germany to Australia to see this beautiful part of Australia. Some of my friends in Australia whom I told about this tour are keen to see the Kimberley too. And I will definitely recommend Adventure Wild to them.
I wish you the very best!
Take care

Wow, what a great trip! Adventure Wild sure know how to entertain their guests. Pauline and I booked this Kimberley Tour with a touch of trepidation, but any uncertainty was discounted within 24 hours. Meticulous planning, great organisation and visiting spectacular scenery was just some of the features of this tour. From never having camped before, living in tents and sleeping in swags was a lot of fun. An amazing highlight was the meals served each day – what came out of the back of that trailer was truly remarkable. We were so spoilt, and to think this was achieved in remote W.A. at the back of nowhere. Would highly recommend this trip to any aspiring traveller.
It would be remiss not to mention the most professional and passionate Tour Leaders – Carmel and Mark. Their care, enthusiasm, patience and perserverence was of the utmost quality. In particular when Pauline became unwell, Carmel and Mark in conjunction with Directoress Simone in Broome made prompt and efficient evacuation plans for us. This service could not be questioned or faulted in any way. We are forever indebted.

Firstly I would like to congratulate you on a well organised and fun tour. Carmel and Mark are a truly professional couple who are passionate about what they do, making it fun and enjoyable for us all. The food was first class and the campgrounds were good and with the tents already up a bonus for us.
The fires in the Bungle Bungles disrupted our tour but Mark and Carmel rearranged the days so we had something extra to do instead. It definitely gave me an idea of how I would like to tour the region again, probably with less driving.
My only negative comment {not directed at you} is the lack of re-cycling in the area, bottles and cans made up a large proportion of our waste!
I had a great time and have no hesitation in recommending this tour to others.
Kind regards

CORF & ADEY
I had some free time yesterday while some went on the chopper,
and jotted some thoughts down about a nurse and former copper
I speak of Corf and Adey, our tour guides extraordinaire
And take this time to thank them for their leadership & care.
We started off in Broome last week, without a lot of fuss
And drove around a few motels until we filled the bus
I’m sure we all were wondering just who would join the tour
Whether they be young or old – and were they rich or poor?
We sat around the fire first night and started with some games
Which really help tremendously with learning all our names
We’ve swum in lovely gorges and had some awesome walks
And learned a lot of history when Corf has shared his talks
The driving has been interesting and when Corf had had enough
He’d pass the wheel to Adey – mainly as it got quite rough!
We drove along Old Halls Creek Road and around the Bus were tossed
But I must dispel the rumour that Corf was ever lost!
The food has been terrific, the organising great
So we offer our apologies for the times we made you late
I’ll miss the fun around the fire when we would share some gags
But there’s one that I will not miss – rolling up those swags!!
We’re sad you’re giving this away though we understand the reason
And we’re quite excited for you as you enter your new season
And I’m sure a group as good as us you ALWAYS will remember
Well maybe that’s ambitious – how about until September.
To share this final trip with you, I feel I have been blest
So whatever lies ahead for you, we wish you ALL THE BEST.
