Looking forward to discovering more of Australia with this company, after just completing a fabulous 9 day adventure exploring Karajini NP and the Ningaloo Reef. IO were faultless from the very first contact to the last goodbyes. The itinerary was comprehensive and flexible dependant on weather conditions, tides etc to ensure the best and most comfortable conditions for activities.
Food was excellent, plentiful and very hygienically prepared.
And then there were our hostesses with the mostest, Sarah and Erin, two extremely competent, knowledgeable and obliging women who ensured everything flowed like clockwork. I'm sure they even controlled the weather🤣
The trip was AMAZING!

Another great trip in the safe and enthusiastic hands of our Inspiration Outdoors Guides, Stacey and Campbell. The Tassie weather even co-operated, with only one wet (very wet) day out of our 10. A great time was had even on that day though, Dove Lake in the pouring rain has a certain cachet. On all our other days we enjoyed a variety of walks, each individual, and with a different level of difficulty/challenge. Campbell and Stacey were very supportive and encouraging whenevr yours truly's legs were flagging a bit!! (I can't speak for anyone else.) Our accommodation varied between acceptable and really good and all the dining establishmentsthey chose were very good and we were well looked after, something which is important after a challenging day. This, our second trip, won't be our last, even though we have to travel round half the world to get there. Well worth it, I assure you.

Glad you enjoyed your trip, Tassie really has something for everyone,
however we agree it is a challenge for the legs.
Perhaps the walk in the rain reminded you of home.
Travelling half way around the world to walk in Tasmania that is fantastic.
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback for us.
Kind Regards

We were fortunate to have the fabulous Heather and Lucas as our guides for 10 days. They were always professional and communicated frequently with us regarding the forthcoming activities. Their climbing/ hiking skills made us feel safe in the challenging gorge areas. They were always encouraging and conscious of our abilities whether hiking or snorkelling. Heather and Lucas were always respectful when explaining the local Indigenous history, Dreamtime stories or environmental issues. Their attention to detail whether it be safe driving, checking tent conditions or preparing delicious two course meals was constant. Prawns and champagne overlooking Ningaloo reef at sunset was the highlight. Heather and Lucas’ personalities made for a fun, relaxed and informative trip. I would highly recommend this tour.

Hi Jillian,
Wow! We're thrilled to hear you had such an awesome time on the Karijini NP and Ningaloo tour. Heather and Lucas sound like they did an amazing job at making sure you were safe, well-fed, and informed.
We're particularly chuffed that you appreciated their respect for local Indigenous history and environmental issues. And of course, prawns and champagne at sunset sounds like pure magic!
Heather, Lucas, and the entire IO team say a huge thank you for your positive feedback and recommendation. It's fantastic to know that our travellers are having fun, feeling relaxed, and learning along the way.
We would love to welcome you back for another adventure soon.
Best Wishes, the IO Team

I was travelling by myself and being connected with such an awesome group of people made for a wonderful experience. Our guides Iam and Glenn were incredible - very knowledgeable about all aspects of the hikes and climbs we did, which helped ensure we trekked safely. The food was outstanding and not having to set up and pack down tents was a huge bonus. The Karijini is beautiful on an epic scale, I can’t think of a better way to immerse yourself in it that with this tour. Thank you - already looking at the next one to book on to!

We have just completed a customised 13 day Inspiration Outdoors tour titled Tasmania’s Wild Walks, which was escorted by Peregrine Travel Centre WA’s Mike Wood.
This small group tour took us to fantastic hiking locations in central, west and east Tasmania including Mt Field NP, Tarn Shelf, Cradle Mountain, Bay of Fires, Wineglass Bay, Maria Island and 2 of the 3 Capes hikes.
We had a mix of weather ranging from all day heavy rain to 30 degree sunshine.
Our Inspiration Outdoors guide/driver Stacey, was absolutely fabulous. Everything was very well organised, she always had a friendly and cheerful disposition and nothing was too much trouble for her. Not only did Stacey get us on the move, she also carried our daily morning tea and nibbles in her own backpack.
Thank you Stacey for making our trip so enjoyable. We really appreciate it.

The entire tour from beginning to end. But what made it beyond next level was our tour guides Misty Seriah Grace and Christian Their knowledge imparted with love and enriched by their stories, their care for each and everyone on the trip who were all made to feel special throughout, their ability to cater for all capabilities and satisfy everyone's needs priceless and the meals they cooked!
Ability to deal with all that was thrown at them without missing a beat or allowing it to impact on our experience again priceless
The tour itinerary an absolute perfect mix of busy and chill whilst getting to taste all the Kimberley's has to offer

Wow, what a glowing review! So glad that you loved your 13-day tour through the Kimberley's with us.
We absolutely agree, our tour guides really are the best in the biz - and we're thrilled to hear that Misty, Seriah, Grace, and Christian were no exception. Hearing that they enriched the tour with their knowledge, stories, care, and cooking skills is great.
We're also stoked to know that you thought the tour was well-balanced. In our eyes, a great holiday includes a bit of everything - days packed with activities, moments of relaxation and a decent taste of what the local region has to offer!
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. Reviews like yours remind us why we do what we do.
Hope to see you again soon on another tour!

My first trip with Inspiration Outdoors. It was fantastic. First class guides, Miles and Kyra, made the trip fun, safe and memorable. The walks in Karijini National Park were awesome. Though at times the walks were challenging, the guides support and encouragement meant all the group succeeded. The Guides set a great group culture and I enjoyed the company of the other people on the trip.
Out on the coast was completely different with the humpback whales, fish and corals.
Across the 10 days I saw a lot of different wildflowers
The meals prepared were delicious and varied, served in differing locations. The camp stretchers comfortable.
Most holidays are great. Some like this one are fabulous, memory makers of the people met, flora and fauna seen and achieving success with challenging activities .
Thankyou

Group culture! It's what makes a good trip great! Our guides are masterful at bringing the group together and ensuring everyone finishes the walks. This tour is amazing because of that contrast between the desert and the sea. Congratulations on achieving success! Leana

This was a fabulous trip, had an amazing time. Everyone in the group was great, we all got on really well and took care of each other.
Sarah and Stacey - what a team! and funny! They took cared of us so well, we were comfortable, fed us well with their delicious cooking, nibbles and bottomless fruit bowl.
The places we saw and hiked were beautiful. So glad I shared this experience with my best friend and with Inspiration Outdoors. I totally recommend this to those who love hiking and nature. Some of the people in our group have done 2-3 other trips with is company and that says a lot about Inspiration Outdoors. I hope this is just the first of many more trips with you.
Thank you for an amazing time.

Wow!!
What an amazing 13 day adventure with the Inspiration team - Misty and Seriah!! With no pre-conceived ideas of what we were about to experience, this would have to have been one of the best getaways one could imagine, if you could.
Misty and Seriah, not only entertained us, but imparted knowledge well beyond their years and delivered it with passion and sincerity that made you walk away absolutely fulfilled. They both individualized their approach to each one of us, but treated us all equally, even though there was a mixture of age groups.
The sights and wonders of the Kimberley's that we were exposed to, will forever be etched in our minds and hearts.
We highly recommend a trip through the Kimberely's with Misty and Seriah through Inspiration Outdoors, if you are fortunate enough to be able to request them!!
They made it not only adventurous but fun! We are still reminiscing about all the great days we just spent with them!!

Have just returned from this 5 day trip. OMG what a well put together itinerary - every day hiking through different and majestic terrain. Our tour leaders Robin and Sarah were entertaining, hard working, supportive and very adept at winding our bus around the narrow roads up to the high country. Most importantly they cooked up amazing food every day to keep us energised. Do yourself a favour - walk the high country with Inspiration Outdoors!

Great to hear about your brilliant adventure in the Victorian High Country! It sounds like Robin and Sarah played a smashing role in making your trip truly unforgettable, winding up those narrow roads and cooking up a storm each day.
We're chuffed that you found our itinerary well-designed and that you enjoyed the variety of majestic terrain each day had to offer. Thanks for giving us a thumbs up and for recommending others to walk the high country with us!
We're really looking forward to the chance of having you join us for another adventure sometime soon!
Best Wishes, the IO Team.
