Went for this 6 days/5 nights camping tour of Esperance and South West coast of WA (ex-Perth). Sean was our great guide and we had 12 people on the tour, commencing on 27th December and finishing on 1st January. Smooth booking experience thanks to Cassey from booking office. They were kind enough to accommodate me against a cancellation. One of the best holidays I ever had thanks to a great effort by Sean over 6 days. A great guy he kept the group engaged, has excellent knowledge of the places and guided the group efficiently through the week. Cooking for a variety of dietary requirement, driving long distances, setting the camp, giving our group a memorable experience...definitely he made a big difference to our experience. This tour covers one of the most beautiful part of the country - white sandy beaches of Esperance & Cape Le Grande, Denmark, Albany, Walpole, Pemberton, Peaceful Bay, Margaret River region. Covers the must-do spots (and a lot more) for the South West region of WA. Probably the only tour which covers this region (and budget friendly). Those who haven’t done camping trip before, this is pretty well catered when it comes to food and essentials. All camp sites had clean, spacious well maintained showers and toilets. And Sean helped us pick up important camping skills during the trip! A must do trip for anyone travelling to Western Australia.

The Road to Recovery Tour was outstanding. Our guide Nikki, was a local with a deep knowledge of the island and its geology, ecology, biology and geography. She was enthusiastic, kind, thoughtful and a perfect guide to the wonders of the island and the way it is recovering from the catastrophic bushfires . We had a wonderful day. Highly recommended.

This was Cate and my second experience of travelling with Adam - Darwin to Broome and we brought a friend. The first being Arnhem Land in September 2019. Being Queenslanders Adam and Lucy had to alter the trip for us. Cate and I feel very safe with Adam and trust his judgement without question. His knowledge of the land we travel is second to none. Adam always has a historical story to tell on all places visited. I would highly recommend Adam and Lucy if you wish to discover the delights and history of Australia’s Top End. Wake up, get up, pack up is the start to every day’s discovery. Many thanks to Lucy and Adam, we will return. Geoff Leeming - Brisbane

We stayed here for 4.nights in an IKARA safari glamping tent. The area in Flinders Ranges was magnificent but we were very disappointed with the “resort” and our accommodation. First of all the good things, the king sized bed (actually two singles pushed together) was very comfortable and the bathroom fine with great shower. The tent had air conditioning but even leaving it running all night the room was not warm. No rugs on the floor, no heater, a very small fridge with no freezer, a jug two mugs and 2 wine glasses. One small slither of soap which disappeared in a day , lucky we had some of our own. A small bathroom tidy bin and nowhere to put rubbish. Wry uncomfortable wicker chairs and no table and chairs to eat on even if we wanted to get takeaway. The restaurant was in chaos, staff were mostly surly and had no idea what they were doing. Wrong orders, missing orders, cold food sent back and lack of service was the order of the day at breakfast and dinner. Not all meals were bad but it was pot luck. I could go on about much more but this place really is old, tired and lacks good management, staff and service and is more like a 2 star not 4 star as they advertise.

In April I completed my first multi day hike along the great ocean walk end to end. The guides Robyn and Stacey made this adventure memorable. Food was exceptional for every meal. They were knowledgeable on the walk giving us the local indigenous stories and the early settlers. Stacey was a legend in spotting wildlife and telling us about them. Robyn cooked some fabulous meals to keep us fuelled for the walk. All very well organised the whole trip. A fabulous experience that has prompted me to try out other walks. Thanks team.

After doing a tour with heading bush 5 years ago trough the Finders, I knew, if I will be back in Australia, I have to do this 10 Day Tour. Our guide, Angie, was great. She has a big knowleg of the region,australia in general and aboriginal topics. We were a small groupe, which was great. But if you go at this time of the year be prepared, like I was. It can be around 0-5 degress at night and 20-25 during the day. But that's the Outback in winter. I loved it. If you would like not just to see the Outback rather feeling it. That's the Tour to do. Just go for it!!!

Kimberley Offroad Adventure was a fantastic way to travel and see the rugged beauty of the outback. Adam was a very experienced tour guide that organised activities that created variety and enthusiasm. We booked in April. Unfortunately both Bungle bungles and Gibb River Road were closed due to residual flooding. The itinerary was also modified due to Covid borders. We were lucky to have some time in Katherine Gorge and extra time in El Questro instead. When the itinerary changed, Adam always had a suitable alternative. We had a fantastic trip. Notes for fellow travellers: Bathers- you spend a lot of time in bathers, including hiking. I would recommend packing several pairs and make sure they are comfortable for activity. Shoes- I decided to take an old pair of runners instead of my hiking boots. I felt like this was the right choice for me as there was a fair amount of hiking along dry river beds and the runners gave me good grip and allowed me to bounce between boulders, and dried really quickly. Laundry- there are washing machines in El Questro that is $5 a wash and takes $1 coins. Just pack some laundry powder scoops in a zip lock bag. Food- I am a fussy eater with a small amount of food allergy but found the meals delicious with lots of variety. Hayfever- the dry grass sent lots of people's hayfever and asthma into overdrive. Bring medication with you. Nothing like sitting on a bus with people sneezing in a pandemic. Camp chores- generally everyone pitches in to assist with camp chores. After a few days everyone finds their niche and the chores take no time. Maps- Google Maps shows a whole lot of nothing in the outback. I would recommend downloading a detailed map before you go. It's always nice to know exactly where you are. Whatsap- consider signing your group up to whatsap to share photos, maps, information as you go. Electronics- there are lots of usb ports on the bus. Normal plugs take a lot more time to charge. Label your cords. Earplugs- whilst it is lovely sleeping with the sounds of the bush around you, unfortunately we had at least one horrendous snorer in our group. Even physical distancing did not mitigate the issue. If things are really noisy, use Earplugs.

Amazing trip! Fabulous guide and host too. The accommodation was great. Food always beautifully prepared. We learned such a lot during the five days and saw the most incredible scenery. The helicopter trip over the Bungle Bungles, (not included) was well worth the money!
