Such a great experience to explore Kimberley region this way. I am particularly impressed by our guide/4WD driver Sean. Sean is an extremely organized, efficient operator. I really enjoyed cave walking and seeing those freshwater crocodiles. Definitely do it :-)

Jamie our tour guide was amazing with all the history of the area which was certainly entertaining and a lesson in our local history.
The Windjana George and Tunnel Creek is a must see.

This was an amazing tour! Operated by Kimberly Wild Tours and our driver and host for the day was a young lass named Brooke. She was superb and gave us excellent insight and history of the 2 sights we were visiting...Windjana Gorge and Tunnel Creek. Morning and afternoon snacks, a fantastic lunch and a great group of fellow travelers.
I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this trip to everyone! Both are stunning sights off the Gibb Rd

A long day but a great one. Gary was a terrific and very entertaining tour guide who really knew his way around. Whilst it was disappointing that Tunnel Creek had recently been closed for safety reasons, our visit to the Norval Art Gallery in Derby was an interesting replacement. Seeing the prison boab tree was another tick off my Australian touring bucket list. And seeing the freshwater crocs at Windjana Gorge just snoozing in the water with leaves sitting on top of them was amazing. Gary was very sensitive when speaking about the history of that part of the Kimberley. The food was plentiful - you don't go hungry on these tours! Dinner at the Willare Bridge Roadhouse was delicious and filled the gap just nicely.

I booked two tours with Kimberley Wild before travelling to Broome. Both were cancelled due to insufficient numbers. One of the tours was cancelled more than a week beforehand so I booked a trip to Cape Leveque through another company. However with the tour to Windjana Gorge, I had a voicemail message advising me of the cancellation when I landed in Broome and the tour was 2 days later. I understand tour companies need to have a minimum number to make their tours financially worthwhile and also with COVID and the WA border being closed to a number of potential tourists this would make things difficult. However, even given the circumstances, my experience with Kimberley Wild was less than satisfactory. If you like to plan your trip, don’t bother with Kimberley Wild.

Wonderful trip to Bungle Bungles and other wonderful places.
Facilities were good especially the camp site in the Bungle Bungles.
Our guide, Kaito, was knowledgeable, friendly and couldn't do enough for us.
Thoroughly recommend this to anybody.
Thanks again Kaito for all your fabulous work.

Fantastic day. Very well and efficiently organised. Unfortunately Tunnel Creek was closed because of a rockfall, but they rang us the night before to let us know and giving us the option of pulling out. We went to a nice art gallery in Derby instead. Windjana Gorge was spectacular. Our guide Michelle was fantastic - friendly, efficient and very informative and entertaining. Well done Kimberley Wild!

Michelle was an amazing tour guide, she certainly knew her stuff. Windjana Gorge was breathtaking and well worth the visit, there were plenty of crocs to be seen. Unfortunately Tunnel Creek was closed because of falling rocks so Michelle took us into Derby to see a local art gallery to to see the wharf. All in all a long but amazing day was had by the whole group.

Wow what a day ! Michelle our guide for starters was wonderful loved her upbeat vibe! She was very knowledgeable on indigenous history and kept us intrigued with some of her stories on Broome's history.
The gorge was breathtaking to walk through and a treat to be able to visit there.
Then onto Tunnel Creek it was thrilling to walk through quite the adventure so glad we went at some point we had to swim through but just added to the excitement!
I’m 55 my hubby 60 and we managed the walk swim climb through without to much of problem highly recommended and such a thrill to see the crocs and swim in the water hole. Thanks Michelle and Kimberley Wild !

Great day out. The sights are spectacular and everything is really well organised. It is a long day but definitely worthwhile. The guide Gary was amazing. Great sense of humour and knowledgeable and importantly drove us safely for nearly 800 km.
