2008

None of our 2008 Kimberley trips are still available.

2009

Some of the trip notes have not yet been updated for 2009. Other than the dates, they should still give a good picture of the trip. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Prices. The 2009 prices listed below are those we charged in 2007. Many of our costs have risen so these prices will rise. However, 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.

The wet season. Kimberley trips from January through sometime in March or April take place during the wet season. To find out more about the wet season and why local bushwalkers enjoy it, click here.
