Kimberley trips, adventure tours in Western Australia
How this holiday makes a difference
Environment
All National Park entry and camping fees paid on our Kimberley adventure tours go towards the Department of Environment & Conservation’s work in maintaining and protecting the local environment. Kimberley Wild guides are experienced and keen to share their in depth knowledge of the local natural environment. Kimberley Wild follows Department of Environment & Conservation guidelines to promote environmental protection and rehabilitation.
We encourage appropriate behaviour on our Kimberley adventure tours and educate travellers to minimise their cultural and environmental impact. Kimberley Wild travellers are advised to stay on designated trails and paths to protect the surrounding country and are also discouraged from taking environmental ‘souvenirs’ (eg. rocks or shells) for both environmental and cultural reasons. Kimberley Wild operates 3 new Isuzu 800 vehicles, which meet EURO 4 Emissions Standards. They are fitted with 120 litre drinking water tanks to enable travellers to refill water bottles, rather than purchase new plastic bottles enroute.
Tour equipment includes re-usable plastic containers to avoid rubbish generated while in remote areas and no disposable crockery or cutlery. Torch batteries are rechargeable and glassware is avoided to minimise breakage risks.
Community
Accommodation on the tour is, among others, at an award-winning indigenous-owned resort . Meals on tour use ingredients supplied by local restaurants & caterers. On this tour we also support local conservation projects such as the One Arm Point Aquaculture Hatchery and local tourism initiatives such as Kelk Creek, where our local indigenous guide introduces Kimberley Wild travellers to Bardi saltwater culture. Kimberley Wild guides are trained in cultural protocols, especially when entering communities, and are sensitive to appropriate practices. Kimberley Wild is a member of Environs Kimberley and supporter of Minyirr Park.
