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
Hi Simone and Karl,
We would like to thank you so much for storing our motor home whilst we were on our adventure of our life – Adventure Wild.
We had a fantastic time on our Adventure Wild trip. Carmel and Mark are the most amazing hosts – from cooking delicious meals to first aid and tour leading among many other skills. Everything was done professionally and with a wonderful sense of humour.
We would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone who has a sense of adventure and appreciation of the outback.
Hi Simone
Adventure Wild WOW WOW WOW
The pre tour service was helpful and nothing was a problem. From our first enquiry to the phone call the day prior to our tour beginning to inform us that we were being picked up at 6am was always friendly and informative.
From this moment on the adventure began. We cannot express how immensely enjoyable and awe inspiring this trip has been. Everyday gave us new sights and challenges. The days are long but we travelled big distances, Carmel and Mark helped make this as comfortable and easy on all of us. With information as we were going passed sights and what to expect at our next stops plus just fun stuff on the way. Carmel and Mark were friendly, informative, helpful and supportive throughout the entire tour. Some of us couldn’t walk as fast as others but either Carmel or Mark were always there to make sure you got to the sights without much problem. The meals they supplied/cooked were wonderful, you never went hungry. P.S. I need to lose a few kilos now.
The experience was enhanced by having wonderful co travellers with us. Everyone was always pitching in and helping one another. The stories and laughter around the camp fire were contagious. This included our nightly TTT session. We can’t stop talking about this great tour and highly recommend it to everyone.
Hello Simone,
A wonderful and superbly organised trip/tour! All spoke of yours and Karl’s attention to detail while booking this trip. Congrats and thanks to you and Karl and to Liz and Phil.
Hi Simone & Karl,
Now that we have finally arrived back home we would like to thank you for the wonderful trip along The Gibb River Road with our fabulous tour guides Mark (today, tonight, tomorrow) and Carmel.
We would like to thank Carmel and Mark for their excellent organisational skills, the wonderful meals, that they prepared, the help and care which they showed in guiding us to all the wonderful gems in the Kimberley’s. It was a fun trip with lots of banter and camaraderie sitting around the campfire each night after a wonderful meal prepared by Carmel and Mark.
As tour guides they were excellent and very informative in providing a great commentary on the Kimberley, the history, geography, birdlife and plants with good humour.
Rolling swags was a new experience for many of us but we all helped, ably supported by Mark and Carmel.
We would recommend this trip to anyone who loves adventure and is happy to be challenged and would love to see the Kimberleys in all it’s awesome beauty and what a special part of Australia it is.
Thank you once again to Mark and Carmel for such a wonderful trip and to our fellow travellers for making it so enjoyable and so much fun.
Kind regards
Hi Simone,
We would like to thank you and all involved in our tour for making it such a wonderful experience.
Special thanks to Liz and Phil Moodie who are exceptional tour guides, sharing their knowledge and love of the Kimberley and its natural history, and seemingly effortlessly taking care of everybody’s needs.
We would recommend this tour to anybody fit enough, and we would do it again. Swag rolling and rocky trails were a bit of a challenge for us over 70s but well worth the effort.
Best regards,
I would like to thank Adventure Wild for an awesome tour. Mark and Carmel were exceptional hosts who went above and beyond to ensure everyone had the best time. This tour exceeded all of my expectations!
Your company should be very proud to have such a lovely couple as your employees.
I highly recommend this trip to anyone. At the drop of a hat I would do it all over again.
Hi Simone,
We had such a wonderful trip. Mark & Carmel were amazing hosts. Hard working, friendly and with a genuine love for our great country.
The tents, sleeping swags and locations to camp were great. I had the best night sleeps! The walks, the gorges, the sightseeing were fabulous. This tour had everything I had hoped for and more.
Thank you.
Regards
Thanks for providing us the opportunity to go on this magnificent experience. We both had an absolute ball and it was made even more special by doing it with Mark & Carmel.
Pre Tour Service:
All communication from our first to last contact with Simone and Karl was extremely professional and informative. We certainly appreciated the follow up calls and discussions regarding our van and 4wd storage and accommodation options.
Itinerary
With so much to see on the Gibb River Rd and Great Northern Highway regions, it is difficult to fit everything in to 12 days but we were not disappointed with any of the places we got to see with plenty of time to explore and soak it all in. Top marks to Mark and Carmel for making every effort to ensure all guests were catered for.
Meals
It’s hard to imagine how such creations can be prepared in rugged conditions but Mark and Carmel just kept punching out meals that were supreme. Even a basic wrap was turned into a masterpiece with the array of fillings made available. Evening meals were delicious and plenty on offer. Our favourite meal was the “cooked to order” scotch fillet steak straight off the campfire BBQ and crispy salads. Watching Mark bang out 18 steaks all cooked to perfection was fantastic. Carmel’s salads, veggies desserts and other creations were magnificent and plenty to go around.
Campsites
El Questro and the exclusive campsite on our final night were our favourites, but sleeping under the stars at Windjana Gorge on the first night was pretty special as well.
Tour Guides
The Hosts with the Most. Dare I say that I don’t think a critical comment could be made about either of them. The passion they both display for providing every guest with the best experience possible is clearly evident right from the start. They go above and beyond to ensure all are included and no divisions. They were the glue that turned us into a close knit group from the onset and both were a font of knowledge on the Kimberley.
The highlight of every evening however was Mark’s TTT session. Tomorrow, Today, Tonight was the trigger for events and times for the next day and we all had fun making out we didn’t understand what was happening just to fire him up and get him to repeat it all again. Very funny indeed.
Each night was also a “challenge” to find South utilising the Southern Cross. Loved it.
They make a great team and both catered for all individual needs.
We have had the greatest time and would be happy to recommend anyone we know, that would also love this style of traveling, to get on board an Adventure Wild Kimberley Tour.
Clearly this would not be suited to everyone but we were stoked to be a part of a professionally run outfit, that is perfectly designed to meet the needs of the outback traveller.
Thanks again.
Dear Simone,
Thanks for telling me about the 12 day Kimberley tour. I can see why it is your signature tour. I loved all the places we got to see, with time to enjoy them.
Mark and Carmel are a hard working team who looked out for everyone and brought much fun and laughter to our trip. I’m especially grateful for Mark’s ability to repair my shoes and jeans too.
The food was delicious and plentiful and the swags nice and warm.
Thanks to your phone call and prompt replies, which led to me booking with Adventure Wild and having a lovely time.
We will post our full testimonial when we have a chance with time and good Telstra coverage, probably when we get home in late August. Just for you to know, we bloody loved it! Even with crook old knees and old age setting in.
You have a great product and a great team in Thommo and Gools. They are “Jewels of the Kimberley”, I’m sure Gools will understand that comment. I am in awe that they are able to front up again in 2 days after completing our tour so professionally.
Thanks for everything and all your help Simone, going right back to our initial phone calls in February/March and holding our mail etc AWESOME. I wish you and Karl every success.
