Tour Availability and Special Offers
Last updated: 21 May 2013.
For more information about each trip, click on the trip name. Some require Adobe Acrobat Reader.
To see our list prices and available discounts, click on "Trips" in the top menu, then click on an area of interest on the map or in the list on the left.
Alternatively, our regularly updated PDF trip list has them all.
Last update 16 May.
Note. Some of the trip notes may not yet have been updated for 2013. Other than the dates, they should still give a good picture of the trip. Please contact us if you have any questions.
Prices. A few of the 2013 prices and all of the 2014 prices listed on this website have not been updated. Our printable PDF trip list shows which prices have or have not been updated. Many of our costs have risen so many of the prices will have to rise. Anyone booking and paying a deposit before a price rise is announced
- will lock in the old price on any trip where we use our own transport.
- will lock in a price midway between the old and new prices on any trip where we use charter transport.
Credit cards. It's not fair that people who pay by bank transfer or cheque subsidise those who pay by credit card. To cover our cost, we began charging a 2.5% commission on credit card transactions on 1 December 2010.
Now through May
Nothing remains available.
1 June onwards
All trips which are still in the program are still available, but please note the trip list on our website remains a work in progress. We have already had to cancel some trips for a variety of reasons such as when a charter trip took over the vehicles we would have used on one of the ones in earlier lists.
We will try and run any trip which gets bookings before any changes are finalised. The number of trips with bookings continues to rise. All of the following are now definite departures.
- Drysdale River National Park No. 1: 2-16 June
This is one of the best places in the Kimberley to see Aboriginal rock art.
Flying in and out by float plane avoids a very long drive and gives us more time to explore and visit the art sites.
Special offer. Only four places left and we'd like to fill them so we are offering a $600 discount.
The discount price is $3995. Our past client and membership discounts still apply. See our General Information sheet for details.
- Kakadu Circle No. 2: 23 June - 6 July
This trip is divided into two sections, either of which can be done on its own.
Only two places remain available on section one; three on section two.
Special offer. As we have more people doing section one than section two, we'll give a special $200 discount to the next person who books section two on its own. That brings the list price to $1495.
- Bungle Bungles: 7-16 July
Fly in, fly out and spend the final night at a safari camp inside the park.
Special note. This trip is now full but we are taking a wait list.
- Mitchell Plateau No. 2: 7-20 July
Two sections, either of which can be done on its own.
Fly in, fly out and use a helicopter to get between sections.
Only two places left on section one, three on section two.
Special offer. We'd like to fill the remaining places so we will give a $600 discount to anyone booking before the end of May.
The discount price is $4695. Our past client and membership discounts still apply. See our General Information sheet for details.
- Kakadu Circle No. 3: 15-30 July
This trip is divided into two sections, either of which can be done on its own.
Special offer. This is such a small group that we will give a $400 discount on the full trip or $200 on either section.
The discount price on the full trip is $2195. Our past client and membership discounts still apply. See our General Information sheet for details.
- Mitchell Plateau No. 3: 10-24 August
Our least expensive trip to the plateau.
Only four places remain available.
Special offer. Anyone booking this trip can have a free ride from Darwin to Kununurra the day before the trip begins.
- Kimberley Highlights No. 2: 22 August - 7 September
Three sections, any of which can be done on its own.
Special offer 1. This is a great trip that doesn't run as often as it should. To encourage more people to book, we'll give an extra $100 off to the next two who book.
Special offer 2. Anyone booking this trip can have a free ride from Kununurra to Darwin the day after the trip ends.
- Kakadu Family Walk No. 3: 29 September - 5 October
If you have children who enjoy camping and swimming, you ought to have a look at the link before our four month advance purchase discount expires.
Birdwatching Special
The
Kakadu and Top End Birdwatching Special: 4-17 August now needs only one booking to become a definite departure.
If you are particularly interested in birds, you owe it to yourself to have a look at the link above.
List price $2595. Our two month advance purchase, past client and membership discounts still apply. See our
General Information sheet for details.
Other trips with bookings
The trips below have bookings but still need two or more additional bookings to run.
- Kakadu Highlights No. 9: 8-21 September
Three sections, any of which can be done on its own.
Special note. The trip notes were completely revised with photos added on 16 May.
- Kakadu Light: 4-16 February 2014.
Walk the wonder of Kakadu in the Wet. Enjoy the waterfalls and wildflowers by day. Relax in comfortable accommodation most nights, camp next to secluded bush pools after short walks on the others.
Special note. As of 20 May, the itinerary has been completely revised and the trip notes updated with photos.
None of our 2014 prices have been updated. Get in early and you lock in the current price.
Note. We expect to have to cancel some of the July and August trips which don't yet have bookings. If you are particularly interested in any of those trips, the sooner you contact us, the more likely it is that we will be able to continue to offer it.
Overseas
All four trips have bookings.
- Vanuatu: 30 July - 17 August
This trip is now full. We are, however, taking a wait list and we may be able to run a second trip.
- The first draft of the notes for Scandinavia: August-September 2013 is now on the website.
While this is a small group, if everyone who has said they'll book does so, it will run.
- New. A major update (21 May) of the draft notes for South Africa: October-November, is now on the website.
The notes are nearly complete but they remain a work in progress. We are working with those who have already booked to finalise some of the details.
- Chilean Patagonia: December 2013- January 2014
This trip will be based on the trip we did beginning in December 2011. What we learned on that trip should make this one even better.
