Highlights

    • Experience the beautiful Kimberley in rugged style with a local guide. Our passionate leaders love this trip as much as you will
    • Enjoy plenty of time to discover the untamed natural beauty of El Questro Station. Paddle around in waterfalls, hike through gorges and access remote parts of this huge park on adventurous 4WD expeditions
    • The red domes of the Bungle Bungle Ranges in Purnululu National Park form one of the most iconic Australian landscapes in existence. You'll have two whole days to explore the gorges and valleys of the park, not to mention soak up a few fiery sunsets
    • Tunnell Creek has a rich Aboriginal and bushranger history. Walk through the underground passage with an Indigenous Bunuba guide, learning about the culture and traditions of the first Australians
    • Spend an extra day in the West Kimberley, a region that most companies bypass

Discover the hidden natural treasures of the massive wildlife park of El Questro, ride along the iconic Gibb River Road, be dwarfed by the towering walls of Windjana Gorge, and cool off with a dip in amazing watering holes. Get off-road to check out Tunnel Creek and the Napier Range, then finish up in Broome with a real Aussie icon – a blazing red sunset.

Why Travel With ATA?

Informative and immersive, our tours are for those looking to develop a true-blue understanding of Australia’s inner workings – and have a cracker of a time while at it. Take one comfy 4WD or minibus, a knowledgeable guide, a bunch of fellow adventurers and you’re all set for the Outback. The whole outfit is much more road trip than it is your standard charter bus tour.

Below are some of the features that go into making the Adventure Tours Australia (ATA) difference.

Expert Guides
We’re the only small group company with an in-house guides
training program. Each of our trip leaders has had comprehensive
training in first aid, driving, fatigue management, environmental
awareness and local history and geology.

Indigenous Experiences
The close working partnerships we’ve established with Indigenous
communities continue to inform our understanding of the land, as
well as inspire in our travellers an appreciation for one of the world’s
oldest living cultures.

Exclusive Accommodation
Unique and exclusive accommodation is all part of the ATA experience.
Travelling with us you could be staying on Indigenous-owned land in Cape
York, private wilderness camps in the Top End, underground bunkhouses
in Coober Pedy or an island safari camp off the Kimberley coast.

Flight & Tour Packages
Want to see both the Top End and Red Centre but not too keen
on long driving days? We’ve packaged together some of our most
popular trips with included flights and airport transfers. This also
means you can get all around Australia by simply sticking with us.

Additional Information
  • You'll spend most nights of the trip sleeping in outback camping grounds. While it's all a part of the adventure, facilities can be extremely basic
  • This trip requires a HIGH level of fitness as it involves a lot of walking, allowing you to truly enjoy the surrounding nature. Some long hikes will really get the blood pumping, and involve wading through water and clambering over rocks. Please bring sturdy, comfortable walking shoes and comfortable clothing.
  • On some days of the trip, you will spend several hours driving, often through very sparse areas of desert. Some drives along off-road tracks can be bumpy as you really get 'amongst it'. Get to know your fellow travellers and sit back to enjoy landscapes that you would miss in any other form of travel.
  • Temperatures in Western Australia are extreme. During the day the weather can be hot (and the Australian sun is strong) so please bring appropriate clothing, use sun protection and drink plenty of water. In the evenings temperatures really drop, so ensure you have base layers and warm clothing.
  • We don't recommend this trip for older passengers who are perhaps less fit or agile
