The tour starts in Broome and ends in Perth. 

Our tours aim to get you off the beaten track and into the remote gorges, waterholes and rock art sites. In order to do this, you will be required to hike for several kilometres a day and occasionally swim and climb (swimming is not essential). You’ll be walking on well-trodden paths as well as rocky, dry creek beds and rough trails.

If you are generally healthy and can walk around 8 kilometres a day, our tours are likely to be suitable for you.

We do not recommend pregnant women travel on our tours; this is due to the risks involved with hiking on uneven ground, and the fact that the roads are corrugated and bumpy which can affect unborn babies.

Our food is fresh and passengers are often amazed at the meals we are able to cook up in the bush. Our guides aren’t chefs but they can most definitely cook up a great feed in a camp oven or on a BBQ plate.

Our trailers have an 80 litre fridge and an 80 litre freezer so we can deliver nutritious food in the outback.

Breakfast* – Continental style and some mornings we do cook ups

*On day 1 of your tour we’ll pick you up early and we’ll be driving straight away so please have breakfast before you board or pack a snack to eat on the truck

Lunch – Varies from wraps, sandwiches, burgers, salads, cold meats, etc.

Dinner – Roasts, stir-frys, curries, stews, damper, etc.

On the truck we carry camp ovens, frying pans, BBQ plates, pots, etc., so we can cook almost anything.

We cater for vegetarians and gluten-free passengers. Other allergies are also catered for, although our guides are not specialists in these areas, so we ask that you provide some assistance when meals are being prepared to ensure you are correctly catered for.

Please make sure you inform us at the time of booking if you have a dietary requirement or allergy.

Our tours are participation tours, everyone helps out by contributing to the cooking, cleaning, setting up camp, rolling out swags, collecting firewood, lighting the fire, etc. This allows the tour to run more efficiently, helps the group to bond and gives you the opportunity to get involved in the bush camping experience.

Bush camping is all part of the adventure and the experience of the outback. For many centuries Australia’s ancestors survived in the bush living off nature. Sometimes we will bush camp and there will be no facilities such as a toilet and a shower. We do have ways of dealing with this, which will be explained to you by your guide. One way of dealing with not having a shower is by making the most of the swimming opportunities, which occur on most days.
