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 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.

Our tented accommodation left nothing wanting and our bags, swags, sleeping bags and water bottles kept us comfortable and warm.

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.

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.

The camping experience was great fun and campfires at night added to the experience.

Sorry that we ae SOOO late in returning this questionnaire! We had every intention of getting it to you months ago, and somehow the time has disappeared. We loved the trip in May with Cheryl and Wayne, and think of it every day. If it is any consolation, we have told plenty people about Adventure Wild and hope that this might translate into future bookings for you :)) Of course the Season will have now finished for the year, and so hopefully you can all have some sort of a break – even if for a short while – before it all revs up again.
Thank you again for such a terrific trip – we thoroughly enjoyed it.

I just had my clients Stephanie and Jan in the office this last Saturday and they were telling me all about their great trip with your company.
We booked them on the tour from/to BME on 27JUN 2013 – maybe Thommo and Gooles would remember them. They send their warmest regards!
Rory, we booked these clients with your company as we found your info on the internet.
From what Stephanie and Jan were telling me, your type of touring is what we are still missing for this region.
What we need – is a product like yours, where the attention to details such as getting up early in order to make the most of daylight hours is so important (we feel the same way!), where personalized service by the guides come through to the passengers and where the knowledge of the guides is top.
With kindest regards from Switzerland,

Just wanted to send you a quick email on behalf of all of us to say thank you so much for all your help & patience prior to our trip – we had an absolutely amazing time in The Kimberley with Thommo, Gools, Rorz & our other (now deaf) coach mates on the trip! It was truly a great experience, the memories of which will definitely live on for some time to come!
Kindest regards,

I can highly recommend your tour company – thanks for all your help before

Happy tourist season and enjoy your summer break!

Rather than engage in copious details, we have decided to provide you with a succinct testimonial.
Suffice to say that the tour exceeded our expectations in every respect, and we would have no hesitation in recommending it to others. From first inquiry, to drop off, the organisation was efficient and friendly. All individual needs were catered for. The food was varied, nutritious and copious. The guides (Wayne and Cheryl) were knowledgeable, helpful and seemingly inexhaustible. For this type of tour you rate an A++.
Rating 5/5
The trip was wonderful, just challenging enough, made all the more special because of the lovely partnership that Goolie and Thommo shared, they were calm but firm when needed and vitally interested in their work and surroundings and that rubbed of on us making everyone keen to experience all that they possible could……just loved it and will do all in my power to get my kids to do the trip instead of bloody Bali over and over!

I have just found the satisfaction survey which we were asked to complete. I
know John has already given you some feed back, but to ensure you get the
information you are seeking I thought I would add to his comments.
Pre-tour service:-
Your attention to all our needs was exemplary. You were fast and efficient
and most helpful.
Itinerary:-
The pace of the tour was well paced as well as most interesting.
Meals:-
The variety, quantity and quality were exceptional. They were well prepared,
interesting and plentiful. Gools did a fantastic job. I admire her skill in
being able to conjour up a banquet in what were challenging and difficult
conditions and present a veritable feast at the end of every long hot day.
Congratulations!
Campsites:-
Generally well kept.
Tour Guides:-
It is hard to know where to start. Gools and Thommo are a real assett to
your business. They are the most dedicated, interesting, amusing, caring
guides any tour business could wish to have. Their humour never failed them, even when Thommo had to change 3 wheels in one day in temperatures in the mid 30’s. They were amenable and understanding of the needs of all the participants on the tour. Their knowledge of the local area was impressive, as was their dedication to spreading the eco message. Their understanding of the local indigenous culture was refreshing. We are deighted that we got to travel with Thommo and Gools because it would be hard to imagine anybody else could do a better job than they did.
Comfort:-
sleeping in a swag was never my idea of comfort. However, after a couple of days it was in fact very comfortable. The worst part of the experience was
having to roll our swags each morning. I think we just about got the hang of
it by day 5.
Hygiene:-
The level of hygiene was high. Gools set the high standard and maintained it
throughout. There were no short cuts to hygiene. Again – congratulations.
Congratulations to Adventure Wild.
Special congratulations and thanks to Thommo and Gools. You are the best!

I finally have the time to sit down and write a testimonial as promised. Please feel free to use any part of it for your website.
It was with great excitement and high expectations that I joined an Adventure Wild ‘Kimberley Safari’ on June 27th 2013. I had always dreamed of travelling through this area, but as a middle aged, single woman, without travelling buddies, camping equipment, 4 wheel drive vehicle, or even the time to properly explore such an exciting area, these dreams were put aside for many years. When I saw this tour, with everything it had to offer, I decided it was for me.
I could not have been happier with the whole experience. From the very beginning, I was treated as someone special. My initial phone conversations with Simone and Rory made me feel that this company treated each person as an individual, and would look after me accordingly. I was also swayed by the fact that they employ two guides on each tour to look after 16 guests – a much better ratio than any competitors offer.
Our two guides, Thommo and Gools, were simply amazing! They were intelligent, articulate, competent and professional in every situation, and yet they were also relaxed, friendly and caring. Their skills were evident everyday – from four wheel driving, to cooking, and making sure that every single person on our tour was fully included and got the most possible from the experience. They led walks in a way that allowed the fittest and strongest to be challenged, while even those with mobility issues could join to some extent. Their knowledge of the area is incredible, and I still recall some of Thommo’s stories with a smile. He made the history of this area come alive with his constant commentary and stories of the local heroes, both present and past.
Best of all, although I was a single traveller, I never once felt that way on the trip. By the end of our 12 day adventure, our group had bonded in a most remarkable way, and I think we all made friendships that will last. Thank you Adventure Wild, for providing me with a wonderful Kimberley experience that I will always treasure!

Just writing to say thanks to all of you at Adventure Wild for absolutely fabulous holiday.
I have to especially thank Choccy and Greg for making it so special. What a great team they are. As tour guides they are the best. Their knowledge of local history, birdlife, animals, landscape and bushcraft is amazing. The extra mile that these two went to make our holiday special and memorable has to be acknowledged. Catering for many with special needs as well as looking after the rest the group was done professionally with minimal fuss.
After observing the other tour companies operating in the same area we definitely chose the best tour company!
I will never forget those beautiful gorges we swam in, the brilliant sunset on top of a cliff overlooking the river at El Questro with a glass of wine and nibbles, sunset at the Bungle Bungles, the early morning in Cathedral Gorge with just our group listening to Greg playing the “dig”, were absolutely magical times.
Thank you too Simone for you prompt reply to all our enquiries because their were many.
I would happily recommend Adventure Wild to all who are interested in visiting what has to be the most ruggedly beautiful area in Australia.

Greg, what can I say, how can we thank him for all the places he took us to, even the extra places that we didn’t know about. He would drive for hours, and on some really rough roads, and then when we stop for camp, he is off up onto the top of the bus and into it again. The guy must have the stamina of someone half his age. Hmmm, maybe we should put him out to stud. Ha ha. Thanks heaps Greg.
The food, well what can you say about the food, bloody beautiful. It amazed all of us what Choccy came up with each night. I certainly could not have done it.
Some of my highlights were swimming in the pools, and jumping off high rocks into the pools with Greg, Choccy (yep I did that, oh yea); Cathedral Gorge and Echidna Chasm, oh and just so many more.
Those two are absolutely wonderful, incredibly great fun, great sense of humour, we love them. We had a bloody fantastic time, from day one it was great!
So from both Tony and myself, thank you ever so much from the bottom of our hearts for a fantastic holiday that we will never forget.
