Hi Simone

A BIG THANK YOU for your promptness in replying to any queries and being behind the organisation of such a great tour. We thoroughly enjoyed all aspects with the hardest part being settling back into our ‘normal’ life in cold Melbourne.

Thanks again and best wishes to you and your team

Hi Simone

We have just returned from our Adventure Wild 12 day Kimberley adventure. It was wonderful – exceeded our expectations! Our hosts Gools and Thommo (aka Cheryl and Wayne) were exceptional. They clearly love their work and working in the Kimberley region. They are both very knowledgeable about the region – was also great that they shared the driving, especially along the Gibb! They ensured that everyone in the group felt comfortable doing all of the outdoor activities and the fact that Gools lead most of the walks (at a fast pace) but Thommo was at the rear (following and assisting) the slower walkers meant that we never felt pressured to go beyond our own comfort level/ability. And the food!!! Fantastic meals- way beyond what I was expecting to have on a camping trip! The only thing I won’t miss is the sound of the tent zippers at various hours of the early morning.

Thank you also for answering my many questions and emails prior to our trip – your prompt and detailed replies made me feel very confident that we would have a wonderful adventure.

Hi Simone and Karl

A few comments on my Kimberley tour 8 – 19 august 2019:

1. Pre-tour service excellent. Communication and advice from Simone and Karl was prompt and accurate.
2. Itinerary was excellent. The pace was good, with sufficient time to enjoy each site and also time to relax.
3. Meals were exceptional. Plenty to eat, with healthy alternatives and variety. Well prepared by Mark and Carmel.
4. Campsites were very good – the more remote, the more enjoyable for me.
5. Tour guides Mark and Carmel were fantastic. Knowledgeable and interesting commentary. Always willing to help out tour members having difficulty. Helped generate camaraderie among the group.
6. Despite the corrugations on the Gibbs river Road, the ride in the bus was very enjoyable. I found the swags were quite comfortable and warm enough on the chilly nights.
7. Good attention to hygiene in preparation and clean-up at meal times.

Summary

Congratulations on making my trip to such a beautiful part of Australia so enjoyable. The planning and organisation and guides were terrific. Part of the pleasure was meeting with people from a diverse set of backgrounds and becoming solid friends during the trip. I have recommended Adventure Wild’s Kimberley trip to several friends and one is already planning to do it in 2019.

Regards

Dear Simone,

We are writing to thank Adventure Wild for our fantastic Kimberley tour recently. We loved every minute of the 12 days and thoroughly enjoyed all the places we visited. In particular, we would like to thank Mark and Carmel who looked after us so well and made the trip run like clockwork.

Please find some specific comments below:

Pre tour Service:

Both our travel agent and ourselves were very happy with the booking service and the pre tour information and assistance provided to us prior to the tour. Our travel agent had not previously heard of Adventure Wild so we will pass on some brochures.

Itinerary:

The tour was a good mix of long/busy days and quieter time. We appreciated that we needed to start early on particular days to get to places in a timely manner. Mark and Carmel’s organization was exemplary and made everything run very smoothly.

Meals:

We were very spoilt with the quality, variety and quantity  of the meals and snacks provided. The meals were outstanding and we were very well fed. Lorraine’s dietary needs were very well catered for and we appreciated the care that Carmel took in contacting her prior to the tour.

Campsites:

The campsites varied but were all very adequate and well set up. The bathrooms were varied, but a number provided much better facilities than we expected.

Tour Guides:

Mark and Carmel led our tour in the best possible manner. Their friendly, out-going, personalities make them ideal for this role. We enjoyed their company and their love of the Kimberley showed in the information that they shared with us throughout the tour. They are both extremely well organized and had considered all possibilities in making the tour run smoothly. Little problems were no hassle and they dealt with any little variations/issues easily and efficiently.

Comfort Generally:

A camping tour by its very nature mean’s you will be “roughing it” to some extent. We had no problems with the comfort of the bus or any of the campsites. The swags were comfortable.

Hygiene:

Carmel and Mark made every effort to make sure all dishes etc were kept clean and hygienic. We were impressed by the freshness and the way all the food was handled. Personal hand washing was always available.

Other Comments:

We have had a wonderful holiday in a beautiful part of Australia. We enjoyed being with the other people on the tour and we had lots of fun together. We appreciated the provision of the water bottles but would have preferred a smaller less bulky container than the canteens – our only criticism. Mark and Carmel were fantastic tour leaders and we thank them and Adventure Wild for a great trip. We will be highly recommending this trip to others.

Our thanks and warmest regards,

Hi Simone

We had such a lovely time travelling through the Kimberley with Mark and Carmel at the helm and thoroughly enjoyed and was enriched by the company of our travelling companions.

As a confirmed independent traveller, I had grave reservations about joining a bus tour but Adventure Wild offer a whole different experience from the norm in group travel and an attractive and different calibre of client.

Itinerary, accommodation and food were outstanding: so much fresh food was an unanticipated highlight. Carmel and Mark were wonderful: genuinely lovely people who are so capable, considerate and inclusive. For me Carmel’s knowledge of the Kimberley including the history and many anecdotal stories really embellished my Kimberly experience.

I would and have recommended your trip as an enriching and relaxing holiday experience!

Many thanks and all the best for future Kimberley Adventures with Adventure Wild.
