Common questions about this voyage

What's the best time to travel in the Kimberley?

The Kimberley region can be divided into two seasons – a wet season and a dry season. The dry season (May to October) will be mild to warm during the day, but can be very cold at night. From June to August, the days are fine and warm with cold nights. Inland conditions at night can drop to below zero degrees Celsius. Rainfall is rare.

What's included in my holiday package?

All coach and travel, accommodation, airfares (if indicated in your individual itinerary), airport transfers on the first and last day, sightseeing, specified excursions, meals, admissions, national park fees, port charges and the services of a Tour or Cruise Director, driver, and Driver-Guide as stated in your itinerary. Small Ship Expedition Cruising also includes complimentary beverages served on board your ship throughout the day. Murray River Cruising includes local beer, wine and soft drinks. Complimentary beverages are included only on board your cruise and do not apply to land touring.

Can I do all the tour walks?

A good level of health and fitness is required on tour to undertake walks in hot conditions or uneven terrain. If you have trouble with balance, walking poles can be a great help. To prepare for your tour, we recommend walking three times a week to build up your fitness.

Is travel insurance included?

Travel insurance is not included in your holiday package. For your protection, we strongly recommend you purchase comprehensive travel insurance that includes (without limitation) coverage for the full cost of your holiday package, medical expenses, loss of luggage, land content and airfare charges that may occur due to cancellation, impossibility of performance or other frustration, disruption, loss of deposit or strikes.

Is there mobile reception?

Reception and internet service is very poor in the Kimberley, but you will have access to free public telephones along the way. Internet may be available at accommodation.

Are the 4WD adventurers comfortable?

With an impeccable reliability record while traversing some of the world's roughest terrain, you're assured comfortable travel and dedicated service aboard our specially engineered vehicles. With your safety and comfort in mind, our vehicles feature large, tinted windows so you can be protected from the sun while admiring the views, reclining seats, climate control, protective bull bars for added safety, a state-of-the-art PA system and interactive infotainment system for watching documentaries on board, viewing live maps and the road ahead.

Best bags for the 4WD adventure?

Each passenger on a 4WD Kimberley and Outback Adventure tour of six days or longer will receive an adventure pack including items for your tour.

What is the dress code?

Most people dress casually on tour; however, in the evenings, you might want to wear something a little smarter.

How much luggage am I allowed?

Our 4WD tours have a 16kg luggage limit per person. This must be in a small/medium soft bag (no suitcases), with dimensions of no more than 66cm length x 35cm width x 32cm height.

Can I do laundry at the Kimberley Lodges?

In-room hand-washing opportunities are available at each of our Kimberley Wilderness Lodges (however, washing is not encouraged at our Bungle Bungle Wilderness Lodge due to water conservation principles).
