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 Karl and Simone
I just wanted to email you to let you know that after a year of waiting for the time to come we finally did our Adventure Wild tour in May and absolutely loved it!! The tour you operate was above and beyond what we expecting to experience in the Kimberley.
Thank you so much for the awesome work you and your team do to provide such a wonderful tour and experience. Our tour guides Liz and Phil were absolutley amazing in making sure their guests had a fantastic experience to soak up and immerse in the incredibly spectacular scenery and environment of the Kimberley. Thanks so much to Liz and Phil for allowing us to experience the Kimberley in an informative, safe, fun and relaxed tour. They were truly amazing, bringing lots of fun, humour and knowledge to the tour and always making sure to put their guests first by going above and beyond to make sure we gained the most out of our travelling experience.
We miss being there and would love to return one day with our three children so they too can see just how amazing the Kimberley is and all that it has to offer. Again, thanks so much!!
Kindest regards,

Hello Simone,
We would like to commend your ‘12 day Broome to Broome’ tour that we recently completed.
From our correspondence before the tour to our last day, we have been very impressed with the quality of service and the tour itself.
Mark and Carmel were first class and nothing was too much of a problem. Their love of the their job and the outback was very positive and could not be faulted.
Carmel passing on knowledge of where we were and indigenous links. Mark’s willingness to stop and point out items like the wildlife and fauna were very informative.
We highly recommend this tour.

Hi Simone,
Chris and I are still getting back to normal after the truly wonderful recent tour (Adventure Wild Kimberley Tour, May 2018). Our two guides, Carmel and Mark, were superbly efficient in their multiple roles – driving, guiding, cooking, herding, informing and leading the tour participants. They were able to convey a great deal of information (history, art, indigenous culture, animals and birds, geology) in a relaxed manner. They also turned the group into a team with everyone contributing with the chores and responding to the early morning crack of the whip when we needed to rise, shine, eat, pack and get on the road. Our two guides were wizards in keeping people moving safely along some demanding trails which often managed to incorporate a dip in a cool pool. The scenery was just outstanding and its importance to the indigenous community was often highlighted. Our guides were also our drivers and cooks and they did both with professional flair. Most importantly they kept everyone safe, informed, amused, well fed and happy. A score of 5 out of 5 doesn’t really do them justice. The same can be said of the scenery – unforgettable !!
Cheers

Hello Simone,
Katie and I are back safely in Canada. It is good to be home but we are missing our new southern hemisphere friends! We had a terrific time on the 12 day Kimberly tour. Our tour guides, Mark and Carmel, were without question quite phenomenal. They were competent, professional, efficient, hard working, fun and two of the nicest people you could meet. The tour logistics were well planned and superbly executed. The spectacular Kimberly was only eclipsed by the fun we had with the great group of people on the tour. Anyone thinking about touring with Adventure Wild can be assured that their expectations will be surpassed!
Very Best Regards,

A belated huge thank you for a great trip. We did the 12 day Kimberley loop in August. Liz and Phil were incredible and catered to our every need, from food preferences, to supplying insect repellant, sunscreen and sanitising gel through to offering a steady hand gorge walking.
It was my first time camping (a 50+ Brit) and so I was apprehensive. It was absolutely amazing.
Thank you so much.
I am sitting here at home and reflecting on our adventure, and words that come to mind are amazing, wonderful and exciting. Our tour was something we have never experienced before (and probably never will again) as far as scenery, colour, raw Australia and sharing it with a wonderful group of people. This tour will stay forever in our hearts and indelibly etched in our minds.
Our tour leaders, Carmel and Mark were wonderful. Their knowledge of the whole of the Kimberley area hugely impressive – they managed to store so much in their heads!! Their communication skills were excellent, yet they were very caring.
Following our tour with Adventure Wild, we did a boat cruise down from Mitchell Plateau to Broome. Comparing the two, we both feel that Carmel and Mark looked after us exceedingly well; their sumptious meals – both in quantity and quality by far exceeded the boat cruise. Their friendly personable nature was also something that stood out.
Disappointingly I was unable to do most of the walks due to a knee injury, but having said that, the wonderful places that I could get to, more than made up for it. It was an early start most days, but we all soon got used to this.
For both of us, the highlights of the trip were many – but a few that were top of the list were:-
- Sitting and having a chat and drink around the camp fire.
- Flight over the Bungle Bungles.
- Galvan Gorge
- Moonshine Gorge
- Pigeonhole Lookout sunset
- Geikie Gorge cruise
Thank you all – it was indeed an experience of a lifetime!
Hi Simone & Karl,
Thank you for all your support, advice and practical help as we prepared for this wonderful adventure. Thanks to your instructions, I found I had packed everything I needed, and little else. The meals and snacks far exceeded my expectations, and the structure of the itinerary (driving times, resting times, walking times, quiet times) could hardly be improved. Bravo!
Our guides, Mark and Carmel, were extraordinary. They are very knowledgeable about this beautiful area, and their narration on the drives and walks made it a very special educational experience. They are kind, thoughtful, generous, tireless, and fit — and attentive to the needs of their guests. I felt like I was a princess, traveling with a personal valet and cook. Their enthusiasm and confidence encouraged me onto walks I might have missed without them. Their company around the fire at night was a great pleasure — how good of them to continue to share stories and insights long after most guides would have called it a day. It was never made obvious, but I could see over time that our safety and health was their primary concern, and this attention, and their training, paid off in our ability to fulfill the itinerary in good health and great spirits
Yours is a wonderful product. Mark and Carmen are a gift I will never forget. I had the time of my life — and considering all the amazing places I’ve had a chance to see — and my travel mates were the same — that is really saying something.
Best Wishes
Touring The Kimberley with Phil & Liz was like staying with very hospitable, old friends. It’s just that their “home” is a mobile one in an incredible bush setting which keeps changing.
We enjoyed a great sample of fascinating and varied Kimberley highlights. (You’d need 3 months to see everything.)
I especially liked Adventure Wild’s roomy pre-erected tents and the two-night stays in most places, the excellent food, the comfortable vehicle and the pleasant company.
Heartily recommend.
Simone,
Words cannot express how much I enjoyed my trip.
I have travelled a lot in the last decade but never a camping tour. On arrival in Broome, I wondered what I had let myself in for. On day one we were picked up early by your wonderful team, Mark & Carmel. The progressive pick ups showed the rest of the passengers on my tour were predominately female, of similar age and I thought if they can do it, so can I. Suffice to say they had more experience than I. Wonderful travelling companions, caring for each other during the tour, making it even more enjoyable.
The scenery was spectacular, I have never seen any thing as magical.
There were times, some walks were beyond my & others physical capacity. The diplomatic duo, allowed us the decision to say yes or no. An alternative was offered, which was always enjoyable.
Highlights:
- Special – Pigeon Hole look out.
- Extra Special – Flight from El Questro. Helicopter over Bungle Bungle, then walking through these ancient landscapes.
My accolades go to Mark & Carmel Green, their commitment to Adventure Wild, the people in their care, their organisational skills, energy levels, nothing was beyond their capacity. I enjoyed their wonderful sense of humor and devotion to each other. Words cannot express my appreciation. If there is an award offered in W.A. Tourism for outstanding guides, they should be nominated.
Simone there is not just a smile on my face but, one in my heart as well.
THANK YOU

Dear Simone,
Where do I start!!!
Such a wonderful trip!!!
There were some challenges along the way but everyone worked to the best of their ability.
Carmel and Mark are to be admired for all the effort which went in to making everything possible so that we achieved and enjoyed as much as we were able..
Tunnel Creek was awesome and every place had something special. Windjana Gorge, Galvan Gorge, El Questro Pigeon Hole twilight, Moonshine Gorge, The Bungles and the walks there, camping beside the billabong, Danggu Gorge cruise are just a few. We almost swam our way around the Kimberley.
Meals were nutritious and delicious and generous portions. Always snacks, drinks, fruit and cool water for everyone.
The library of books were very useful and interesting.
Carmel and Mark provided information about the places we were travelling through.
Customer service was excellent and prompt.
You have an excellent product.
Thank you all
Best wishes
