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
First of all a big thanks to Thommo and Gools.
It was a challenging camping trip for me and Janet, especially the first 2 days with pitching tents up and down, managing the swag and camp stretcher, scrambling over rocks and coping with the routine. It took us out of our comfort zone but we made with the help of Thommo and Gools, (plus great food every night – we especially love the Thai dish) and our camping companions. We can look back on a great experience.
Thank you.

Our trip had been on our radar for the past 2 years since we first came across Adventure Wild at the Caravan, Camping and Leisure show in Canberra Oct ’13. It was high on Marie’s bucket list and in October ’14 we decided to book our trip on the 2015 year.
So we took a month off work, departed Canberra to Darwin on 1/7/15 to escape the Canberra Winter and to get some colour up so were weren’t the proverbial snowflake prior to the tour and we had never been to Darwin, so ticked that off.
Knowing who our tour couple would be (Corf & Adey) and then meeting them in person in Canberra in March at another show, provided a great opportunity to ask any last minute questions etc. After 5 minutes it was like we had known each other for years, relaxed, talking about the adventure, my dietary needs (thanks Adey for looking after me). I was amazed at how both Corf and Adey made everyone feel safe, plenty of food and I still rave about how Adey just mysteriously made food appear and I heard nothing but great remarks.
The “Swag” rolling demonstration, detailed history of the areas and the characters that made the Kimberly’s (John Darcy) all added up to a well researched and interesting tour. I remarked to Marie this morning that the next tour (16) would be heading up Geikie Gorge today before heading back to Broome.
The team is truly professional and I have raved on to all since my return of just how great the trip was, how much fun we had and the places we visited. I have passed on your brochure, my Gibb River Road book and photos to my Daughter in Laws parents who are very keen to undertake the same trip.
It was the trip of a lifetime and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute, please pass on my appreciation to both Corf & Adey who made the trip what it was. If you guys are coming over in October for the Caravan show let me know, both Marie and I will come out wearing our Adventure Wild caps and catch up.
Thanks again for a truly magnificent trip.

We have travelled a lot and are quite discerning. We had not camped since our youth and had some trepidation about our forthcoming tour. Well, our reservations were soon dispelled. Our trip was one of the highlights of our lives. It would not have been possible without Carmel and Mark who tirelessly and effortlessly ensured that we all had a great time and introduced us to the splendours of the Kimberley.
We met great people who came from disparate backgrounds and soon found that we had much in common – the campfire and a couple of beverages contributed to the enjoyment. We thank Carmel and Mark and our fellow travellers for making it a very special trip.

Larry and I absolutely LOVED every second of our Adventure Wild Kimberley Tour. Our heartfelt thanks to Mark and Carmel for making the tour so memorable and hats off to you and the rest of the Adventure Wild team for all your hard behind the scenes work!

Thank you so much for looking after the “old chook” on my recent adventure.
I thoroughly enjoyed every day and every facet of the trip.
Your commentary was great and the food delicious. Maybe in another life you will be able to open up a restaurant.
I arived home to rain and cold so it was a big shock after all the lovely weather on the tour.
Take care

From the moment we booked the trip you were so prompt in giving us information and answering questions as soon as they were sent.
Nothing was too much trouble and your professionalism stood out.
The trip continued in the same manner with Greg & Choccy being the consummate leaders. They set out to give us a holiday to remember and they delivered in spades.
Their love of the Kimberley was clear, with us being the winners. We were introduced to spectacular gorges, the animals, birds, trees, flowers, aboriginal rock art to name a few – nothing escaped their attention.
Food was superb and we ate like kings. Just don’t know how Choccy finds enough time to create our feasts!
I particularly would like to thank Choccy and Greg for their care afforded to Marg being one of the slower gorge travellers. They were always there to lend a hand if needed and full of positive reinforcement.
Greg was a dream handling the vehicle and not once did Marg revisit her fear of unsealed roads.
To our wonderful leaders, thanks for your sense of humour, for the friendship you afforded each of us and for the great group of people we were lucky enough to share this special memorable time.

A huge thank you goes out to you, Greg and Choccy for making my trip such a memorable one. Everyone wants to know what was the best part, but there wasn’t just one as every part of our trip was sensational. Everyone got along so well and with Greg and Choccy’s expertise and love for the Kimberley, each day was another unique surprise and experience.
The food was delicious, wholesome and filling, the campsites were experiences in themselves, the bus was spacious and comfortable and not once did it feel like we were on a group tour.
Thank you again for creating such beautiful memories of a unique part of Australia. I will be recommending this tour to all of my friends.

We cannot speak too highly of Adventure Wild, our Kimberley trip or our fabulous guides. The holiday exceeded even our high expectations. Everything was extremely well organised but very relaxed. The camping was terrific – and comfortable. The food excellent. Our guides Gools and Thommo were well informed, very friendly, good fun and were altogether superb. Add in the amazing scenery and it was the perfect holiday!
Thank you.

KIMBERLEY CAMPING
When we headed out from Broome
We left behind our gloom
Striking out to the northeast
Expecting adventure at the very least
We are a gregarious crowd
Some rather quiet some quite loud
But we all get on well
And there are many stories to tell
Our leaders are sublime
Giving us all a great time
The meals were excellent
Thanks to Carmel’s management
A hardy few rolled our swags
And provided us with some mighty gags
We didn’t like the early rise
But each day was a great surprise
We walked in a beaut gorge
Gee, I can’t remember the name
Next day we saw another
It was pretty much the same
———————————-
We got up in the dark
And blamed it on Mark
We walked over rocks
Got dirty red socks
We bathed in warm springs
Did lots of fun things
We saw lots of kites
Went on helicopter flights
Stayed at a very posh station
Which gave us a sense of elation
Now, gone is the gloom
But the trip had to end
And, just a short drive now
Lies the lovely city of Broome

The trip was better than fabulous. It was so good in all respects. Carmel and Mark are definite ‘keepers’. They were relaxed but efficient. Calm but got things done. Patient and never complaining. No sign of irritation, being flustered, wishing we wouldn’t ask for more coffee or ask again where the bowls/knives/cereal/boards/ Vita Weets, full cream milk, stools, table cloths … are kept.
The food was delicious and plentiful. Some people went on about there being too much food but what I say is “Well you don’t HAVE to eat it.”
I felt totally safe as a passenger and I am not fond of being a passenger on long trips.
The places we went are beyond description – I had no expectations of The Kimberly and knew nothing about it and so it was all a marvellous surprise.
I think it is the best trip I have been on and so congratulations on being such a great company and providing such an excellent and exciting tour.
So thanks to you and Rory and Mark and Carmel and all who made it possible.
