"I joined the tour in 2023 and can't recommend it highly enough. Darren is a friendly and informative guide whose experience of the area really enhances the experience. The stops are well-selected, the accommodation is great, the food is tasty and the bus is comfortable. It's a family business and it really shows - Darren doesn't over-book the bus so that everyone can have enough space and really get to know one another. I enjoyed it so much that my pal just booked for next year! Great stuff 👏" Rebecca - December 2023
"My friend and I had an amazing time and highly recommend the tour to see all the beautiful spots between Perth and Exmouth. Darren is a fantastic tour guide and showed us so many incredibly beautiful places during the 8 days of traveling. He is very knowledgeable, humorous, organized and relaxed. We always had plenty of time at each spot to enjoy the views, go for a swim and take photos. He also catered for vegetarians and vegans which was amazing! The size of the group is great which makes it easy to get everybody quickly. It is hard to say what the highlights of the tour were as there were so many, but snorkling with manta rays and staying on a farm in the middle of nowhere was absolutley amazing."

Support local, support small business...
This is a family run business and I understand Darren’s wife keeps the wheels turning at home while Darren does the tours so to present such a professional package is a credit to them. Emailed Darren and Nicola and they got straight back to me. This is a small family run business, Darren (Booz) drove us and organised all the food and stops!! He is a great host, knows the country and wildlife. He loves it and it shows. |
It’s supporting family business as opposed to a big travel company ! You get all his knowledge on the area but not to much information overload and with it being a family business you get the personal touch and it doesn’t feel all commercialised like you do with bigger trips. If you’re thinking of travelling WA, do this tour, it’s family run & authentic. |
