If you’ve ever travelled with Red Earth Safaris, there’s a good chance you’ve met Darren.
You’ll probably know him as the guy behind the wheel, the bloke pointing out wildlife at the side of the road, the person who somehow knows exactly where to stop for the best view — and, quite possibly, the man responsible for your second helping at dinner. Officially, he’s our owner, guide, driver, cook, storyteller, wildlife spotter and all-round fixer. Unofficially? He’s just Darren. And he bloody loves showing people around Western Australia. What makes Darren different? Ask our travellers and they'll probably mention three things: He knows his stuff. He doesn't take himself too seriously. And he genuinely cares about people having a great trip. 
Recent travellers have described Darren as “friendly and informative”, “knowledgeable, humorous, organised and relaxed” and someone whose experience of Western Australia really adds to the experience.
One traveller summed it up perfectly: Darren is a great host who “knows the country and wildlife. He loves it and it shows.” And that pretty much nails it. Darren doesn't just drive you from A to B. He knows where to look for kangaroos. He knows which lookout is worth getting out of the bus for. He knows when the light is going to make a landscape look spectacular. He knows the stories behind the places you're visiting. And, importantly, he knows when everyone needs a coffee break. 
More than just a Perth to Exmouth tour
The journey from Perth to Exmouth is a long one — more than 1,200 kilometres of spectacular Western Australian landscape. You could simply drive it. Or you could actually experience it. That's where Red Earth comes in. Our Perth to Exmouth tour is designed around the journey, not just the destination. Along the way, we take in places such as the Pinnacles Desert, Lancelin, Kalbarri, Shark Bay, Monkey Mia, Shell Beach and an outback sheep station before reaching the spectacular Ningaloo Reef. And Darren's approach is simple: Don't rush it. There’s no point dragging people halfway across Western Australia only to say, “Quick! Take a photo! Back on the bus!” The best bits often happen when you have time to stop, look around, swim, explore, have a chat and just enjoy where you are. That's why Red Earth has always focused on small groups and a more personal experience. 
The Darren effect
There's something that happens on a Red Earth tour. You start out as a bus full of strangers. A few days later, you're sharing snacks, swapping travel stories, laughing at Darren's jokes and wondering how everyone suddenly knows everyone else's life story. That's partly the small-group experience. But it's also Darren. He's been doing this long enough to know that a great tour isn't just about ticking attractions off a list. It's about the people. It's about the unexpected moments. It's about standing on a beach in the middle of nowhere watching the sun disappear, then sitting around a campfire under a ridiculous number of stars. It's about finding a turtle while snorkelling. It's about spotting wildlife when nobody else expected it. It's about those little moments that don't appear in the itinerary but somehow end up being the things you remember most.
Why choose Red Earth Safaris?
If you're searching for the best Perth to Exmouth tour, we're not going to tell you that we're the best. We'll let our travellers decide that. But we will tell you what makes us different. We're small. We're local. We're family run. We keep our groups personal. We include accommodation, meals and transport, so you don't have to keep reaching for your wallet every five minutes. And you've got Darren — a guide who has spent years exploring Western Australia and still gets excited about showing it to people. That's pretty hard to fake.
