Highly recommend this trip. The itinerary was a perfect mixture of experiences, action packed but adequate catered down time like amazing sunset dinners and drinks. Our guides Tom and Dan were caring, considerate, knowlegeable , a lot of fun and great cooks too.

Karijini National Park is incredible. So glad I visited as part of a tour. It’s vast and remote. The two guides on our trip were incredible. Tom and Dan clearly love their work, they are people people. It was Dan’s first trip but that did not show. They made sure everyone’s needs were considered, Tom is an excellent cook, and he knows so much about the land, he is respectful and inclusive. Both Tom and Dan have all the qualities needed: flexibility, kindness, hard working, capable, fit and excellent communication skills. Our trip was a dream and an absolute pleasure.

Inspiration Outdoors Trip Karajini and Ningaloo Reef 10 days an outstanding adventure. Our guides Heather and Lucas were professional and knowledgeable on all aspects of the trip. They showed respect and acknowledged the traditional owners of the land. Each day was varied, fun and exciting. Heather and Lucas had the right balance of information and instruction. Would travel with Inspiration tour again.

Recent trip to Karajini and the whaleshark swim was Excellent. The right mixture of hiking, swimming, and downtime. Loved that we spent 4 nights in one spot as that made the days not so rushed. Loved that the guides packed a thermos for us, for morning tea. Iam, Heather and Lucas were excellent guides, helpful, caring, knowledgeable, inspiring and great cooks. They ran an organised trip and were instrumental in gelling the passengers together into a tight knit group. Spectacular scenery!

My trip to WA to Karajini NP and Exmouth and Ningaloo Reef was informative, challenging, restorative and lots of fun. The guides cared for us, educated us, befriended us and opened up a world of magnificent gorges, swimming holes and snorkelling. Congratulations on a well planned and smoothly executed camping and hiking trip.

Don’t put it off! Just book and hope you get Dan and Camry as your Inspiration tour guides. They will help you conquer the gorges and hikes with likeminded travellers in your group. Safely enter and swim in gorges, hike trails and explore Karijini NP, Exmouth (climb Mt Bruce).
