  • Fantastic day and one of the highlights of our WA trip.

    The combination of 4WDing, hiking, canoeing the Murchison River, Nature’s Window and the Skywalk was excellent. The scenery was spectacular and the canoe section was a real standout. A special mention to our guide, Andrew, who was friendly, knowledgeable and made the day enjoyable for both adults and kids. Highly recommend!

  • The gorge is just fantastic but that’s just the start

    This is one of the best tours to do in Kalbarri and we enjoyed it immensely! That said, let’s start with how the day starts with Andrew (Koki). And that’s that this tour is not for everyone. I thought he was putting a bit of mayo on it in the pre leaving spiel but it’s a solid walk down into the gorge and a an interesting climb back out. Doubt this qualifies as rock climbing but it’s certainly rock scrambling. I’m pretty heavy, but quite fit, but also not agile and can find anything to trip on. I was very careful on the way down frequently on my butt finding the next footstep. But it is very doable all the same. The best bit is the kayak/ canoe. We chose the kayak and it’s a super easy and stable way to paddle the three kms down and then back. The gorge is just fantastic. It’s so well worth the effort to see. There is a chance to swim either at the halfway point or when you get back. Once the kayak is done it’s time to climb out. You take a short cut but it’s steep and you need to listen to advice on how to negotiate the more tricky parts. Got my heart racing and not just from the climb itself! Must admit I was happy to see the bus in the end Other notable features. It’s a fair dinkum four wheel drive down to the car park and back. That’s part of the fun as well. Bring a fly veil. They are unbelievable right now. Overall, Andrew was fabulous. So down to earth. Calls a spade a spade. But also very helpful and informative. He also gave up some of his own time to take us past the Skywalk on the way home but this is not a standard part of the tour. If you have a moderate level of fitness and a sense of adventure then please do this tour.

    This is an amazing bespoke experience with Andy. He's an excellent tour guide and was very accommodating to all participants. He made the day so fun. The description of the tour is very apt. We were well prepared with hydration and snacks. This is a challenging (but not gruelling) tour. A level of fitness is key and you must wear and bring sensible clothes and shoes. It was 32 C when we went in Autumn so I can only imagine how important it would be to follow instructions to the letter in Summer. Not suitable for small children given the terrain of the hike in and out of the Gorge. Would definitely return at different times of the year to see how the landscape/river changes. Worth every penny.

    My family and had a great time. Andrew (the guide) knows a lot about the area and shares his knowledge, both current and historical. He is concerned for everyone's wellbeing and lets people know what they are in for. I would recommend this experience.

    Fab day out (7am to 3pm), exceeded our expectations, the chap running it (sorry forgot name) was super good and knowledgeable and went out of his way to provide an unforgettable day, if you want to experience good hiking, kayaking an area no one else goes to and a swim then this is a must, and good value, thank you :)

  • Utterley Fabulous.

    This tour was fab! Andrew met us on time and the communication was perfect. The trip itself was simply wow. He took us to a remote park of the National Park it was a bit of a clamber down into the gorge but nothing too tricky as long as you are mobile and have decent footwear. We kayaked and canoed along the river in amongst the most divine landscape with incredible rock formations. We were able to swim as well and you can leave your backpacks where we picked up the canoes from as we came back to the same spot. So that was all super easy. Take water and a few snacks for the half day trip. The hike back up out of the forge was again a little challenging with a clamber or two here and there up a dry waterfall chanel. But nothing too significant. We had some small children in the group maybe 6 or 7 and they had no trouble at all! All in all highly recommended, andrew our guide was great we spotted kangaroos and wallabys as well. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this. Thanks Andrew.

    A fantastic tour led by Andrew! He provided excellent commentary and the hike pace was spot on. Canoeing along the river was brilliant and the hike back up a different route was great fun. Thoroughly recommend this tour make sure and bring plenty water, a fly net and sturdy shoes. The dip in the river at the half way point and end of the canoeing was very refreshing and much needed on a hot day
