9 Day Broome to Perth Adventure

9 Day Broome to Perth Adventure

Our tours are for the Adventure seeking travelers, we are West Adventure Tours, not West comfortable, predictable luxury tours. You can expect wild camping in swags under the stars with no bathroom facilities, however we do carry a portable toilet. We believe this does give you the experience of a lifetime in the Australian wilderness. As much as possible, we do camp in private locations for just our passengers to enjoy sitting around the campfire at the end of each night getting to know each other with nobody else around.
