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
Just a quick follow-up after my trip with Adventure Wild from 9 June – it was the most wonderful experience, I loved every minute of it and keep reliving it as I show workmates and friends my photos! None of us will ever forget the first night and that ‘deranged’ grader driver! Not too many campers would have a similar story to tell I suspect.
Gools and Thommo were fabulous. They led and guided us all with diplomacy, respect and, when necessary, reminders of our responsibilities. I would travel anywhere with them. They were friendly, informative and took care that all of our needs were met. The food was tops and there was plenty of it. They were both highly organised but flexible when the situation required it. I felt safe and secure with them during the whole trip and was very pleased that they were our nominated drivers.
I have begun painting scenes from my many photos – another exercise that constantly takes me back to the Kimberley!
Many thanks indeed for providing us with a top quality, challenging and interesting camping trip.

You are one of the best tour companies I have come across right from the time my wife Jenny Mason spoke to you and on many subsequent occasions right through the planning and the recent tour with Thommo and Gools.
They would have to be the best guides in Australia and especially the Kimberley as many of the testimonies will verify. You are so lucky to have their talents as drivers, cooks extraordinaire, story-tellers and just plain good organisers.
Their knowledge of the Kimberley’s flora and fauna was just amazing and we have all come away with some of their knowledge. They often went out of their way to add extra tours / highlights for our benefit.
The food was fantastic and Jen and I will have no hesitation in promoting ADVENTURE WILD to our many friends and the Victorian bushwalking club to which we belong.
Wonderful trip with many fantastic memories. Each day was a whoo factor in itself.
Rating 4/5
What a wonderful, wonderful tour, a truly memorable experience, one that will remain in our memories forever.
This was my bucket list entry come true – everything exceeded my expectations – I wished I could have stayed longer.
Everything we experienced was exhilirating & inspiring – what a magnificent part of Australia is the Kimberley!
Great companions, great locations and two great guides in Greg & Choccy – their personalities, leadership,organisational skills and knowledgewere invaluable in making this a holiday of a lifetime for two 80 year olds. Dont’ ever let them go !
Many thanks for making a dream come to fruition

After many years of yearning to do an “Outback Holiday” but having no experience with 4WD vehicles or off-road camping etc, my wife and I learnt about Adventure Wild and their guided expedition tour of the Kimberley’s world famous Gibb River Road in a 4WD mini bus.
This appealed to us as a good way to experience much of what the Kimberley has to offer – without having to know anything about 4WD vehicles and camping, nor having to calculate time, distance, destinations and points of interest, as well as not having to organise food, fuel, equipment etc – and this “appeal” proved to be 100% correct.
Right from the beginning of Adventure Wild’s efficient and personal response to our initial inquiry, through to organising some special requests to suit our personal travel arrangements, and finally to our “welcome home: letter which was awaiting our return home, we felt secure we were in the hands of experts who knew what they were doing.
We were made to feel, as were all of our fellow passengers, like VIP’s (even though we had to pitch our own tents and swags and assist with setting up – and dismantling – the campsites at each end of the day!). It was all good fun and many laughs were shared.
Apart from the wonders and the splendours of the Kimberley (we’re told there is no other place in the world like it) we particularly loved the camaraderie and fun which developed (and enveloped) the group as the tour progressed. The sitting around the campfire having a “sund-downer” chatting to fellow passengers, the impromptu sing-songs and story telling whilst watching stunning sunsets evolve into magically star-filled skies was a fantastic way to top off the amazing experiences of the day.

We have done a lot of travelling over the years but this trip was one of the best and exceeded all of our expectations. It is truely a fantastic way to see the Kimberley and what it has to offer. Our tour guides Greg and Choccy were very passionate and knowledgeable about the Kimberley and made sure we not only saw the sights, but truely experienced them. We also ate well and laughed a lot. We loved every minute.

Like I said in one of my two emails to family & friends while we were on our Safari, the word “Adventure” was an understatement for what we were experiencing on our trip.
To date my favourite holidays were NZ, Grand Canyon, Rome & Niagara Falls, they have all moved down a notch & our Adventure Wild Kimberley trip is now #1.
What made this trip better than the rest was Tommo & Gooles, they were Super Professional, Efficient, Caring & much more, they went above & beyond in everything that they did.
I was a little nervous to start with re my allergy to Garlic & Msg & on the first night I made it known that I did not want to be a nuisance & would be happy with a salad & bread at times when garlic (in particular) was an issue. It soon became obvious that Gooles must have read every food label in the Supermarket when she shopped for the trip. On all but 3 nights I was given a separately cooked meal & whenever sauces were on offer I was told which ones I should avoid.
Both Gooles & Tommo, obviously love what they do & it shows because nothing was too much trouble for them, they were always happy & smiling.
Before this trip my only experience of Aboriginal people were the city ones who seemed to hang around Sydney’s city railway stations, usually drinking or what I saw on TV re “The Block” at Redfern. I was actually a bit nervous being anywhere near them. I now have a totally different perspective, having heard what we, the white folk, have done to them in the past. Tommo & Gooles painted a wonderful picture, with dreamtime stories etc I now want to hear more!
The main gift that I brought back for my almost 9 year old grandson was a book about Aborigines, I saw it in Broome on Day 1 & totally ignored it. His Mum & Dad were delighted with the book, they have a couple of Aboriginal paintings in their home.
So it wasn’t just the memories of the beautiful Kimberleys that I took back, I learned so much, something new everyday.
I also made it all the way into the El Questro Gorge, what a sense of achievement that was, as I was the oldest person on the trip & some who were much younger did not make it, including my husband John, who by the way also loved the whole experience.

The information and phone calls before leaving Melbourne were excellent.
The itinerary was good, but from our point of view I think it would of been a lot harder walking into the gorges if we had waited another year. Some mornings it was an early start but as we stopped for morning tea, then lunch we found it very good.
Meals great. Choccy did a great job and the variety and desserts brilliant.
Campsites great.
Tour guides, now what can I say about them. You have a couple of “Gems” in Greg & Choccy we could not of asked for better Guides.
Comfort was good.
We wondered about our old bones, and sleeping in a swag but we were both pleasantly surprised when we awoke the first morning and no aches or pains.
Hygiene very good.
We could not of asked for a better group of people. We all got on very well and helped Greg & Choccy with the chores.
We have been telling our friends and acquaintances of the wonderful time we had.

I would like to thank you both for what was a great 12 day trip through the Kimberly’s. Having taken some time to reflect, I was very impressed with the itinerary over all, your local knowledge and the relaxed feel throughout the trip that comes with a camping holiday.
Your logistical and managerial skills that were evident throughout the tour, as well as your innate ability to manage such a diverse range of personalities ensured an enjoyable time was had by all.
I know I will certainly look back on my 2013 Adventure Wild Kimberly tour fondly as I’m sure the other group members will as well.
It has been a pleasure to meet you both and I would like to wish you every success for the future.

We had a great trip and Thomo and Cheryl were excellent.
From our point of view the 12 day loop, two guides and a smaller group were the main reasons for selecting Adventure Wild over the other operators.

Home safely after a wonderful time seeing the Kimberley on Adventure Wild camping tour.
As you know, the weather was kind to us & we got to see more than expected. ie: Wyndam & surrounds.
There were always opportunities to see as much as possible, with more than adequate time to enjoy all sites visited.
Tour guides play a large part in a business like yours being successful. In our case, Choccy & Greg did all the right things to ensure an enjoyable trip for their passengers. They were well organised & prepared in the food & equipment areas. On top of that, they worked hard the whole time they were awake.
These things certainly added to the great experiences the Kimberley gave us.
