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
Thank you Adventure Wild for a great trip & for providing us with great guides in Chris & Jan. Their efficiency in all areas was second to none.
I would highly recommend this tour providing you don’t mind early starts & bumpy roads, though the scenery makes it all worthwhile.

TOUR GUIDES/HOSTS – THOMMO & GOOLS (Wayne & Cheryl )….These two are the VERY BEST.
On Friday 12 May 2017 my wife & I joined 16 others for the 12 day adventure through the Kimberley…..AND WHAT AN ADVENTURE!!
All enjoyed Thommo & Gools commentary, their sense of fun & banter & gracious & respectfulness to all. Kimberley knowledge…wow! We learned so much about this beautiful but rugged part of Australia.
The magnificent gorge cliffs, spectacular waterfalls & rock formations…so often we are in awe.
This is the best tour & would encourage other to avail themselves to Adventure Wild.
Everything has been thought through to make this trip one to remember.
We never felt rushed & it was good to have a couple of days in various spots to be ” active ” or laze about (washing clothes time).
CONGRATULATIONS Gools on the wonderful meals (no skimping here)…what a treat each night..a different country represented + desserts (my favourite was tiramisu….best that I have ever eaten). Each night we wondered what magic Gools was going to present.
Thank you again Thommo & Gools for a great & memorable tour.
Adventure Wild…well done…excellent pre trip briefing/information & the adventure …magnificent.

The Gibb River Rd with its beautiful sunrises, sunsets, black skies filled with stars, gorges with amazing waterfalls, all roads open – well it surpassed all our expectations. Zebedee springs was pure luxury.
We had travelled up the highway many years ago, before the Bungles were known to the tourist so visiting and taking a helicopter flight was awe inspiring and a privilege.
We do not usually camp in a tent but found it comfortable, how else do you get to see such amazing scenery.
It was great to have Mark and Carmel look after us, drive, cook and guide us with only a few chores for everyone to help with.
Mark and Carmel were great tour guides, thank you.
Thank you also to Simone for your organizing.
Thank you also to our fellow travellers for your friendship

What a wonderful Kimberley tour my husband and I experienced recently with our fabulous guides, Carmel and Mark. Nothing was too much trouble for these two and their enthusiasm for the Kimberleys was contagious. We particularly enjoyed their vast knowledge of the local history and culture.
The itinerary was fairly ‘full-on’, meaning we were able to fit in as many activities and attractions as possible.
The variety and quality of all the meals was outstanding with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. Carmel was so well organised.
Thanks also to Simone for her helpfulness with any enquiries and all the information regarding other activities in Broome.

Hi Simone
I would like to thank Adventure Wild for the outstanding tour I have taken part in. Over the years I did some 30 organized tours in many countries, but Adventure Wild is one of the best I have been on.
Mark and Carmel are the very best tour leaders one could have. They are not only talented tour guides and cooks they are also making friends very easily, as well as bonding a bunch of strangers together in a most pleasant way, in a very short time.
Of course the scenery is beautiful and a treat for a landscape photographer.
With kind regards

The entire organization, from the first contact until to the end of the trip, everything was perfectly organized.
The information in advance of the trip were very helpful and informative, there was nothing missing.
The pace of the tour was ideal and really for me all the spots were an absolute highlight.
I enjoyed the walks very much, the scenery was fantastic and the waterfalls a dream. What can I say, the Kimberley are just great!
Our tour guides Liz and Phil were fabulous. They were always in a good mood, nothing too much, they spoiled us and made us an unforgettable time, also the food was very delicious and varied. Impossible to suffer hunger on this tour J.
I’m very impressed regarding the professional handling, great job Liz and Phil!
Thanks to the great organization of Adventure Wild, a great group and fantastic tour guides I will always keep this trip in a very nice memory.
Thank you for an absolutely wonderful Kimberley experience.

Hi Simone,
I have returned to Canada & got over my jetlag & wish to express my thanks for a great adventure–tour 5 of May 17, 2017 which included a song by a choir of 12 in Cathedral Gorge on my birthday.
Firstly, I want to thank you for your administration from the time I booked in November 2016 right through the months getting required info, the unfortunate cancellation of Wendy & your assistance with my claim.
Now, I must congratulate Mark & Carmel for extraordinary leadership for the entire tour including their energy driving long distances, setting up camp , providing snacks during morning & afternoon breaks, lunches & excellent dinners, keeping the group informed with stories & background history & assisting anyone who needed it [ including me] during the rock hopping hikes.
The itinerary was busy but I wanted that & there were opportunities to take a couple of morning rests if desired.
I enjoyed the company of all my fellow travellers . We had lots of laughs & I found them all willing to pitch in with the chores. I hope to keep in touch with some of the group & certainly would like to send some photos to a group website to be organised by one of the group experts.
I believe Adventure Wild has a very good formula for the 12 day tour & it should be continued until new circumstances occur that require changes to the overall plan.
I was surprised & not impressed how occasional other visitors at a campsite, swimming hole or lookout were fanatical about playing with drones.
I found the meals varied & of good quality & quantity & the campsites were well situated.
This was an adventurous camping trip & I was comfortable with the driving sections with regular breaks & was rewarded with the activities such as the helicopter flight, the river & lake cruises & the billabong & gorge swims & the colourful hikes .
Hygiene is very important & our leaders were on top of ensuring the best approach to that.
Regards,

We have just completed our fabulous wild adventure through the Kimberley’s. Gools and Thommo were immensely professional guides, supportive and informative, full of fun … PLUS top nutritional food throughout!!!
Being 67 I was concerned about the camp bedding comfort – but with relief I found it comfy and easy to manage. I have never been a camper previously, but we quickly adapted to the relaxed lifestyle and the sharing experiences with the other guests.
Top experience. The Kimberley’s are amazing and beautiful.

Hi Simone and Karl,
I completed the 12 day Broome – Broome safari with Mark and Carmel Green, arriving back in Broome Sunday 28th May 2017.
I enjoyed every minute of my tour, beginning with the helpful and comprehensive information package I received via email. I had a few questions, and when I rang Adventure Wild I spoke with Karl who was friendly and forthcoming, with plenty of patience for my sometimes unrelated questions.
I found the tour well-paced, with the four 2-night stays providing a sense of belonging and allowing relaxation time for those who wished. Mark and Carmel provided us with optional alternatives outside the set itinerary which enhanced our experience and were much appreciated by all.
Our meals were timely, varied and plentiful, packed with fresh ingredients. We were offered snacks before every walk and fresh fruit was available daily.
Campsites were generally good, with the standout being Brooking Springs Station where the peaceful, isolated location at the edge of a billabong created a magical first night for our reverse tour. Although Windjana and Bell Gorges were still closed, we were treated to a beautiful sunset on the Derby pier and the campsite at the edge of the Kimberley Entrance Caravan Park was quiet with an expansive outlook and more than adequate amenities. Our 2-night stay at El Questro was enhanced by being so close to the burbling Pentecost River, with the charming ensuite-style amenities adding a touch of class. The open-air amenities at the Bungle Bungle Station Caravan Park were a joy, and the only site that could have been improved was Home Valley Station.
I have nothing but praise for Mark and Carmel, who welcomed us and outlined the rules with humour and endless patience for our seemingly endless questions. They were informative, funny, entertaining, careful and capable, making every effort to respond to individual requirements. They were supportive without being intrusive on excursions that were challenging to many of our group.
I was comfortable at every stage of the tour, both on the bus and in camp. The tents were spacious and the swags comfortable, although I would have liked the option of an insect screen above my head on the swag so I could see the stars when sleeping out.
Hygiene rules were made very clear, with disinfectant gel available and used before every meal, and Mark and Carmel’s high standards were maintained throughout.
Thank you for making my first Kimberley experience so memorable, and I hope you continue to provide many more visitors with such a positive experience.
Yours sincerely

Hi Simone, Queen Liz and Prince Phil
Thank you for an absolutely wonderful Kimberley experience.
Had it in mind since hearing about the Bungle Bungles about 20 years ago.
Want to do it all again someday, with the same amazing knowledgeable guides (Liz and Phil), and hopefully see Windjana Gorge, Tunnel Creek and Bell Gorge which weren’t open this trip.
Will be recommending Adventure Wild to everyone.
Have so many great memories of the stunning outback, the stars, swimming in beautiful gorges, lily-pads palms and ferns, our 40th wedding anniversary among the Bungle Bungles, jet boating down the Ord River, the music at Home Valley Station, campfires, too much delicious FOOD, comfy swags and tents, games in the bus, river crossings…didn’t want it to end.
