9 nights camping - Excellent. Wish they had been a bit more up front regarding electricity. I would have brought a battery pack if I had known.

Awesome Adventure Packed Tour - This has to be the best value tour anywhere! Yes anywhere! We started in Adelaide as 16 solo travellers but our awesome tour guide, driver, cook, entertainer, story teller Damo (Damien) made sure we soon became the dream team. Damo worked tirelessly to give us the best experience as well as awesome food. We had people from 7 different countries all sharing stories and experiences.A very inclusive group. I have been on many similar style tours all over the world but this one ranks tops for value, quality and experiences. If you are not sure about travelling alone or you have never done a trip like this before, you have nothing to fear as this tour will be a life changing experience you will never forget. many thanks to everyone who made this trip Awesome especially Damo who went well above and beyond to make this trip an awesome adventure. get out there and do it

Amazing tour - The tour was the best tour I did in Australia, packed with a lot of adventures, memories and fun. I made a lot of really good friends there. If you have Damo as a your guide, you have luck he is an amazing guide. Not only is he a guide and cook he is also a pretty good entertainer. Always making everything interesting, it was never boring. I can highly recommend the tour to everyone who wants to go to WA and don’t want to fly there.

Fabulous fun filled adventure - I had a great time traveling the southwest of Australia with the ten day tour! The nature and scenery was stunning and our guide Damo was an all-round talent. Great cook, storyteller and always up for some fun and jokes. Even though we were all different types of people we really grew together as a group and I'd recommend the tour to anyone who is up for an adventure and some exploring along the stunning coastline.

Best tour ever! - I can highly recommend doing this tour! If you're lucky like me, you'll get Damo as your tour guide! Not only was he a great guide and bus driver, he was also a fabulous cook, entertainer and DJ on the road! The group was amazing, we had a blast and I made so many new friends. It truly was adventurous, as we slept in swags under the stars every night and got to see beautiful remote places. I would absolutely do it again!

An amazing tour - My first tour while solo backpacking around Australia and I don't think I would change one thing about it. Damo, our tour leader, was outstanding and was always busy to ensure the group could enjoy the tour to the max, the group was amazing and of course the adventure really was exciting. Every day was busy and enjoyable and I believe the value of the tour is unbeatable.

Brick's chicks - This tour was amazing! We saw a lot of beautiful and different landscapes along the way and we did some really cool activities in those 10 days, including some hikes, surfing, sandboarding, swimming with dolphins and sealions, wave hunting and drinking at breweries/wineries! Our guide Jackson is a really cool and easy-going guy who gave us really useful information about the things we saw and also about the Aboriginal culture! The fact that Jackson wasn't just the guide but also really part of our group made it really fun and personal! I'd definitely recommend this tour!
