We did the Red Gorge Adventure w/Pete and Freddy and 5 other like-minded mates on 3, November. I knew we were in good hands from the moment they outfitted us with our gear. They we're open to questions and thorough about explaining the purpose and importance of our gear. No one was a professional athlete and ages varied, but we were fit and anticipated a day of fun in professional hands and a day that would test our physical and mental capabilities. Yes, it was a long day, but no one was rushed. Our guides stressed how important it was to have a proper tea time and a light lunch which was very nicely done by the company. 250 billion year old rock slabs for seats and clear creek water for our serviette-perfect. I'm sure you readers have read the tour agenda and it is just as it's stated. We had the perfect blend of adventure, knowledge and appreciation of this beautiful area. The activities were challenging, but you can do it! and will feel awesome about yourself at the end of the day. Pete and Freddy are truly professional and passionate in what they will share with you. They want you to enjoy every wet moment of the day and will assist you through it with humor and a smile. Sadly, the season is over for their trips, but make certain you ad it to your New Years "Gotta Do It!" list. We're caravaning around OZtralia for the year. Have circumnavigated 2/3rds of this outstanding country and this has been THE BEST excursion so far!! GO HAVE SOME FUN!
This was my second trip to Karijini this year, mainly for photography. I knew about the West Oz Active tours last time, but this time I decided to set aside an extra day and try to see parts of the gorges that most people don't get to see. I did the Red Gorge tour, and It turned out to be the highlight of the trip.The day started with a thorough safety briefing and familiarisation with all the gear. Our trip through Red Gorge involved the usual walking, then sliding down a rocky chute and plunging into a pool, paddling on rubber tubes through the beautiful gorge and stopping for a scrumptious lunch, then a spot of abseiling, more paddling and walking up with the aid of a rope, and finally, climbing out up a fairly difficult rock face and traversing at the top to end up at Kermit's Pool.The group ranged in age from mid teens to fifties, but we all managed the activities and I felt safe at all times, such was the professionalism of Pete, Freddie and Jimmy. In my opinion, this is a trip you can't afford to miss. I don't know how Pete can do it for the price.
Become a Canyoneer with Pete and his crew!An extraordinary way to experience the magnificence of Karijini! Fun, adventure, tranquility, challenges and awe, all rolled into one!
This was by far one of the best adventure tourism experiences I've done, if not the best. I was lucky enough to have this given to me as a birthday present and I was grateful the entire day.It is a long day but the variety of activities keeps you stimulated from start to finish. Each section of the tour has it's own challenges and beautiful scenery. You're always amped for what's next.Pete, Freddie and Jimmy were all fantastic. Their knowledge and passion oozes out of them and they add a lot of value to the day. They give it 100% and we fed off their energy and enthusiasm.Overall, this was an unforgettable experience….. DO IT!
This tour is an unforgettable one-day experience. In small groups of max. 7 people you are visiting the beauty of the Karijini National Park. On this tour you are have the chance to visit places you can't go on your own. We had the pleasure to spend the day with our guides Pete, Brandon an Fred. The tour is quite a challenge but we felt save all the time. Another great thing is, that you don't have to worry about any equipment: they have everything and everything is included!In the evening Pete came over to our campsite and told us some very interesting and useful things about Western Australia - we could have listend to him for hours - thank you so much for this!!!
I recently visited Karijini as part of a group where our touring for a week was organised and hosted by the Flying Sandgroper. Their hospitality was truly amazing and matched the awsome landscape. Peter and Karen are young and passionate ambassadors for their beloved Karijini and they could not do enough for us. The food was fresh, delicious and healthy (no mean feat in the outback) and Pete's passion for the Pilbara is palpable. These charming young people are an incredible asset to WA tourism. If you're going to Karijini be sure to check out what they can do to help you enjoy the experience to the max.
This was a brilliant tour and great day out all round, my friend and I just completed the "Journey to the centre of the earth" tour and it was an unforgettable experience. From start to finish everything was organised impeccably and I was extremely impressed with how incredibly safe everything was, especially the abseiling. Our guides Freddie and Brenton were fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable and put in so much effort to make the day great! Also thank god for wetsuits, after swimming the day before in just bikinis, we were very grateful for them!As for Karijini itself, pictures do not do it justice (and they look pretty good anyway). It is a truly spectacular place that is good for the soul and well worth making the effort to get there. We also climbed Mt Bruce the day after the tour after the guys suggested it and that too was a great hike with incredible views.All in all great value for money and a fantastic day out! Thanks!
We went on a canyoning tour with West OZ last July. Twas well worth it. Made great memories for our family. We felt very well taken care of in what was some challenging territory. Real Professionals, yet very friendly guys .The geology and country side here is outstanding and I will never forget the experience. We took younger kids with us ranging from 9 to 16 years of age and the crew handled them beautifully. DO iT ...
No trip to Karijini would be complete without doing a tour with West Oz. How else do you get to see the secret heart of Karijini. Where the tourist trails end, this tour takes off. Not just abseiling, not just rock climbing, not just tubing thru amazing gorges, but all of these activities and more. Funny informative guides, great food, all the equipment including wetsuits. Sure, it seems like a lot of money when u go to book, but once you are out there enjoying the wilderness, you realise you would be wasting your time and money to go all the way to Karijini and not do this. We did the Red Gorge Tour and I can honestly say it was one of the best day trips I have done as a tourist-ever. The day feels action packed and adrenalin pumping, but experienced guides and great equipment mean u are never in danger. Do it or miss out, your choice.
We made the Journey to the center of the earth in last July... And we will never forget that ! I was the best day in my trip of one year in Australia ! The guides were helpful, nice, funny, interesting, awesome... They make you move forward with confidence and for this trip it's obligatory ;)For this price, we really enjoy Karijini and the beauty of his hearth, it was not a waste of time or waste of money, it was a really good investment ;DCheers a lot amazing guides !!Tanguy
