Fitness Advisory

The Broome to Darwin Safaris have a unique temperature, activity and operational considerations not experienced elsewhere in Australia. The Kimberley region is one of the most isolated, remote places in the world. It doesn't have the usual comforts and options of our other touring areas. We think this lack of convenience is the real reason to visit this area and is what makes it so special and memorable for a lifetime. This tour is suitable only of fit and active people.

Do you meet our criteria?

• I can hike 5-9kms a day over uneven terrain un-aided.

If you have not answered yes to all these questions then you should reassess your commitment to the trip. Perhaps alternative travel options will be better for you ie. Accommodated, large bus coach travel.
