Our guides are passionate about providing the ultimate customer experience. However, to keep the tour running smoothly, we kindly ask that as a team, you actively assist your guide in day-to-day activities, including;

• the packing/unpacking of the bus.
• the preparation of meals and cleaning up afterwards.
• looking after your own and each others safety.

Our tours are aimed at the young and the young at heart and they all include hikes of 2+ kilometres over moderate to difficult terrain, often in high temperatures. A moderate level of fitness is required to fully participate in most activities. Our itineraries that travel north from Perth include activities such as sand boarding, snorkelling, swimming and canyoning (hiking, climbing and wading through gorges).

Our tours to Broome and through the Kimberley and Top End include hikes of up to 8 kilometres often in high temperatures and humidity and involve a degree of canyoning (hiking, climbing and wading through gorges). A high level of fitness is required to fully participate in the activities on these tours.

Our guides are there every step of the way to make sure you have a safe and hands-on adventure tour experience, however, our guides are not qualified to conduct or instruct in water activities such as swimming or snorkelling. None of our tours require you to enter water if you do not feel comfortable doing so and choosing to engage in in water activities is a decision you should make based on your own ability and confidence to do so safely. For this reason we require passengers to hire their own snorkelling equipment (on tours with snorkelling as an optional activity) and by doing so you, at your own free will, are assuming responsibility for you own actions while using the equipment you have hired. Optional activities that include in water activities (such as Whale Shark Swims) are conducted by trusted 3rd party company’s with the necessary skills, experience, qualifications and licences to make sure you are safe, comfortable and having the best experience possible.

Western Australia is known for its extremes and after a long day of activities a good night sleep is the key to having a great tour. Accommodation include hostels, farms, outback stations, (traditional bush) camp sites, swags and large comfortable safari tents. All accommodation is based on a 4 – 10 bed shared dorm style.

All camping areas we use have toilets and most have showers and running water. Unexpected closure of campgrounds due to natural causes such as bushfire or flooding may require a bush camp (no facilities) to be set up. Camping in the Kimberley is done in the traditional Australian style in swags (bedroll) and we provide 2 person tents for those looking for a bit more shelter (please request when booking).

On all tours there are Double, Twin and Single Room upgrades available. All upgrades need to be booked at the time of the tour booking and are subject to availability. All private rooms use shared bathroom facilities (no en-suites).

Upgrade prices are mentioned on the booking pages and are priced per person inclusive of all nights as listed, please select two (2) upgrades when booking a twin/double for yourself and your travel partner.

Meals are provided at cafes and restaurants as well as fresh meals prepared by the group that include hot and cold lunches, hot dinners with salads and vegetables and continental style breakfasts. We cater for all dietary requirements including vegetarian, gluten free and other requests. Please advise when booking (a small surcharge may apply). Water and snacks are provided in all vehicles.
