Ria & Ron Harvison

A quick phone call to Rory and due to some gorges being closed and tours being done in reverse, we were lucky enough to be able to do the Gibb River  7 day section of this amazingly diverse area of Australia.  We were booked in to the Triple J Ord River Cruise – well worth doing and met the group and guides – Phil and Liz in the Ivanhoe Van Park and headed off the next morning.

What can we say about this tour? Not sure if there are enough superlatives to cover how we felt. Our guides were skilled, informative, knowledgeable, great company and catered to our every need.

The scenery, commentary, the gorges, campsites, food, campfires and the company of a great group of intrepid travellers were all a bonus and far better than doing this trip on our own.

Which Gorge was the best?  All of them, each unique – El Questro, Emma, Manning, Galvins, Adcock. Zebedee Springs was delightful. 146 river crossings thanks to a late wet.

The bonus of Derby and the Norval gallery was perfect for us.

And a magic Horizontal Falls Day Tour was the perfect end to this leg of our journey.

We thank you for this opportunity to travel with Adventure Wild, we appreciate all the last minute arranging and have no hesitation in recommending you to others, although this particular situation may not arise again.
