Every trip is different. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about a particular trip.

2009

No Kimberley trips are available before January 2010.

2010

Some of the trip notes have not yet been updated for 2010. Other than the dates, they should still give a good picture of the trip. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Prices. The 2010 prices listed below those we charged in 2009. Many of our costs have risen so some of the prices will rise. However, anyone booking and paying a deposit before a price rise is announced will pay the old price.

The wet season. Kimberley trips from January through sometime in March or April take place during the wet season. To find out more about the wet season and why local bushwalkers enjoy it, click here.
