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
We had a wonderful trip with Mark and Carmel as our tour leaders. I feel so lucky to have been able to do the trip and to see such a magnificent part of our country. The Kimberley is amazing with the most spectacular sights. The walks into the gorges were beautiful especially when we were rewarded with stunning falls and/or wonderful swimming holes.
When asked what were the highlights, I reply everything. What made the trip even more enjoyable was having Mark and Carmel as our leaders. They obviously love the Kimberley and enjoy seeing others appreciate it also. This was reflected in the way everyone on our tour got on so well together and enjoyed not only the wonderful scenery but also the camping and camraderie that comes with everyone pitching in and helping out.
Living in these uncertain times, we did have a covid hiccup but Mark and Carmel handled everything calmly and rationally, ensuring that we had the minimum possible interruption to our trip.
I couldn’t recommend Adventure Wild highly enough. Such a memorable holiday.
Thanks for all your organising and help also, Simone.
Regards
We have just returned to Perth after the most amazing time in the Kimberley! We were impressed when we first dealt with Simone re booking this tour and then it just got better and better.
Gools and Thommo our tour guides were totally awesome. They put their heart and soul into making sure everyone had a good time. They were knowledgeable, fun, caring, organised, patient and very hard working. Gools was an amazing cook as well! They were like Duracell betteries… they just kept going and going!!
I am very glad we picked this company as I observed several other Kimberley tour companies camping near us on a few occasions and we definitely ad the A team! Just remember to get proper walking boots as they advise you to do!
Dear Simone,
What a marvelous adventure and how privileged l was to have shared the journey.
Wayne and Cheryl are remarkable people, they went above and beyond, l have traveled much and without a doubt, they have to be two of the best in terms of organisation, all round knowledge, support, friendliness and respect… l will miss them.
Adventure Wild is run with military precision, but at the same time, with warmth and consideration in regards to age and fitness.
Meals… l was hoping to move my Covid gained belly, no hope there with the sumptuous meals and thoughtful treats.
Wayne and Cheryl, aka Gools and Thommo… “I know, l know they are affectionate nicknames, but for me it seemed disrespectful.” Old school and all. I salute them and all involved in making Adventure Wild possible.
Go well, go safe, enjoy the journey.
Best Regards
Had a fantastic 11 nights with Kylie and Dean. Delicious and healthy food every day and excellent hosts, who are fun, easy going and very organised. Handled any situation with ease and the trip was made more special by sharing it with a friendly group of people.
Thank you for giving us such a great outback experience!
From the very first contact with Adventure Wild, I was totally impressed by the information provided and the positive communications from Simone and Karl. The customer service level is the best I’ve ever experienced
In regards to the adventure in the Kimberley’s, this was our first time camping. It was not an issue, loved every minute of it all. The wonderful sights around the Kimberley’s are a must see. Simone and Karl have done their homework to include so many extraordinary places to see and stay.
The guides Kylie and Dean were also extraordinary in their efforts to make our trip so memorable. They are a wonderful couple and fun to be around, we wish them all the very best for their future endeavours, and just as importantly a big huge thanks for a fantastic trip. Everything they did was to enhance our experience in the Kimberley’s, a massive effort to work so long and tirelessly. I’m sure it wouldn’t be easy dealing with total strangers with many different needs, but they handled it all magnificently. They are the best tour guides in the Kimberley’s who will only get better.
Congratulations and many thanks to you all for such a great time. Highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see more of Oz.
Once again, thanks to the best of the best, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip of a lifetime.
Thanks
Hi Simone,
Thank you and Karl so much.
I had a fantastic (if somewhat exhausting) time.
We were SO lucky to have Carmel and Mark, they are such awesome people.
Work so hard, very knowledgeable, totally organised, humorous, excellent cooks, enthusiastic and so thoughtful and caring.
We had a great group of very likeminded people, which just made the whole 12 days much more fun.
I am so pleased that I came across your advertisement on Facebook. Definitely a trip of a lifetime.
Kind regards,
Hi Simone and Karl
We hope this finds you well and busy and that your tours are not being badly affected by the recent Covid outbreaks. How fortunate was our group to manage the “free from Covid” interval, with only the small snag (extremely well managed) at the end of the trip with some rapid testing of our Victorian buddies. We certainly wish your future tours run to schedule.
The Adventure Wild company is superb and we could not have faulted any aspect of our trip, from the very beginning of its organisation in 2020 until the finale on May 30, 2021. The attention to detail and the method of delivery – outstanding. Big big thanks!
The actual tour, so brilliantly led by Gools and Thommo was indeed memorable. Their capacity to engage group members both individually and collectively, demonstrated just how dedicated and skilled they are in managing a variety of personalities and needs. They are amazing raconteurs and we have dined out on the FODMAP story!!
Thanks to them, we have left the Kimberley with an increased knowledge and appreciation of its geography and history, its people and their lands and the incredible beauty of its landscape. We were privileged.
We travelled quite a distance in the 12 days through the lands of numerous indigenous communities. I wondered how many visitors, (both with Adventure Wild and other companies) absorb the significance of Aboriginal heritage in this part of Australia.
Gools and Thommo were most respectful and informative and spoke about the communities and their lands throughout our tour, as I imagine all the AW guides would do. I believe this is such an important way for travellers to be aware of the numerous communities that occupy the Kimberley.
Our country, including the Kimberley, has such rich Aboriginal heritage and I think many people are yet to appreciate this. I am of the opinion that both visual and verbal acknowledgement heightens awareness of, and respect for, Aboriginal heritage. The more exposure, the greater the possibility of cultural appreciation.
Thank you for the opportunity to travel with Adventure Wild – we loved it all (even the recalcitrant zips on my swag) I confess I may have been responsible for mutilitating part of the lining! Sorry!!!!!!
Good luck with the rest of the season and beyond!
Kind regards
Dear Simone
Thank you for providing Thommo and Gools as the hosts for my Kimberley Adventure. From the moment we boarded the truck both hosts made everybody feel at ease and Thommo started talking about our adventure that lay ahead with very informative commentary and his vast wealth of knowledge made it clear that he truly loved his job and the Kimberley area. Both Thommo and Gools made the trip an enjoyable experience and nothing was too much trouble for either of them. The food was delicious and plenty of it along with snacks, morning tea and nibbles etc before dinner.
I would appreciate it if you could pass on my thanks to Thommo and Gools for their exceptional service for the entire time we were away and thank you for all the updates and information on the trip.
Kind regards
Hi Simone and Karl
I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed our holiday with Gools and Thommo. I have praised your work and your program to so many friends.
You and Karl must be so proud of the work you and your team do. The time you took to chat with me, answer all my questions, being ever so patient and considerate of our needs and wants was amazing. It was such a pleasure to meet you in person after our many months of conversing.
The quality of everything you do in all aspects of your relationship with your customer is outstanding. In fact we don’t we feel like customers but as family because of the culture you have created and the relationships you and your team genuinely develop. A typical example was the sensitive and caring way you, Gools and Thommo handled the issue with our Melbournian friends during the COVID scare.
I have my fingers crossed that this latest outbreak in Sydney doesn’t create too many difficulties for you and the team..
All the best to you and Karl
Cheers
Amazing way to experience the Kimberley. Our tour guides (Gools and Thommo) had an intimate knowledge of every aspect of the region including the history, geology, botany and indigenous culture.
The tour was extremely well organised with a variety of great camp locations. i would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wishes to visit the Kimberley.
