to provide you with an enjoyable and exciting experience.

Guides |
Our guides are
very professional and are well versed on all aspects of the
Top End and the Kimberley. Constant evaluation programs ensure
that our guides possess extensive knowledge of the flora, fauna,
geology and culture of these regions. Most of our guides have
been guiding for several years and are very enthusiastic about
showing passengers the local wildlife. All guides hold current
first aid certificates & have completed courses in both remote
area operations and minimal impact techniques. |
| Permit
Areas |
Due to our willingness
to work with Aboriginal traditional owners and our commitment
to nature-based eco tourism, we are the only small group tour
operator with access to Upper Sandy Creek Falls (Litchfield).
We are one of only a select few tour companies that have special
access to restricted areas such as Koolpin Gorge (Kakadu), Graveside
Gorge (Kakadu), Moline Rock Hole (Kakadu) and Upper Tolmer Gorge
(Litchfield). We also hold a safari camp permit at Jim Jim Falls
campground (Garnamar). Permit areas allow our passengers to
experience Kakadu without the crowds. |
| Vehicles
|
To fully enjoy what
the Top End and The Kimberley has to offer, you need to travel
in a 4WD vehicle and that is a fact. We operate only 4WD vehicles
that range in size from 9–13 seats, so an emphasis is placed
on small group personalised tours. Our vehicles are regularly
serviced and maintained to minimize the risk of breakdowns during
any of our tours. All of our vehicles are airconditioned. |
| Camping
Equipment |
Our tour vehicles
all tow trailers with the necessary equipment to make your camping
safari as comfortable as possible. We provide swags (April –
Nov), sleeping mats, easy-to-erect tents, camp chairs, tables,
12 volt fluorescent lights, communal torches and eskies (ice
boxes to keep the food fresh and the drinks cold). On ocassion
you will code share with Adventure Tour permanent camping infrastructure. |
| Campground
Facilities |
As our tours are
traveling into remote areas and to avoid crowds, some places
that we camp have absolutely no facilities, this occurs predominantly
on the Kimberley tours. Other areas only have basic toilet facilities
and no showers on most occasions. Fortunately we are swimming
on nearly every day of the tours so hygiene is not a problem.
|
| Passenger
Involvement |
All of our tours
are designed to provide passengers with a 'hands on' wilderness
camping experience. It is therefore a necessary requirement
that all passengers participate in general camp duties such
as erecting tents, preparing meals, washing up etc. Camp duties
are not strenuous and full group participation allows everybody
more time for other enjoyable activities. |
| Walking
Distances and Programs |
Please be advised
that the programs and walking distances supplied should only
be used as a guideline. Your tour guides may change programs
at their discretion, due to extreme temperatures, safety issues
or to suit the specific interests of the group, and walking
distances may vary substantially. |
| Passenger
Fitness Level |
Our tours have been
designed to suit fit, active people mainly ranging in age from
18–35 years. Tours are not available to any children under the

extremely fit if they wish to participate in any of our tours.
If you have any doubts regarding your level of fitness, please
discuss it with your agent or contact us directly. |
| Food

Fresh fruit and
vegetables are available every day. Iced water is available
in the vehicle at all times (except Kimberley tours). Breakfasts
consist of cereals, toast with spreads, tea and coffee. Lunch
is usually a selection of cold meats and salad or sandwiches.
Dinner will be cooked on the campfire by your guide, who is
also a skilled open fire cook, with menus to suit all tastes.
Wine is included with some evening meals. We can easily cater
for vegetarians – please inform us when you book. |
