2013 - APT Kimberley Wilderness Adventures

The Kimberley Experts Voted 'Best Domestic Tour Operator' in 2012, no other company is better equipped to take you on an adventure to this fabled frontier. Multiple Award Winners Our people are the key to the numerous awards and accolades we keep receiving: voted 'Best Domestic Tour Operator' in the 2012 National Tourism Industry Awards; and inducted into the WA Tourism Hall of Fame – an achievement only a handful of tour operators can boast. And, as the major tour operator to be granted Advanced Eco-Certification in Kimberley operations, it's easy to see why we are number one with discerning travellers. 98% Satisfaction Rating Whilst the quality of our tours has been recognised with several tourism awards, greater reward comes from the 98% satisfaction rating we receive from past travellers and their wonderful feedback. Rather than hear more from us, visit the testimonial section of our website to see what our travellers have said. Number One in the Kimberley No other operator can offer the experience, network of lodges, or access that we do – so you can experience the real Kimberley, rather than merely brushing the surface. No matter what style of travel you're looking for, we've got the option for you. From Small Group 4WD Adventures that journey to remote wilderness areas escorted by your own Driver-Guide, to Independent Air Safaris for those seeking a more independent Kimberley experience. While for the ultimate Kimberley discovery, we offer a comprehensive range of cruise and land adventures that will leave you spellbound. APT – Leading the Way When APT first began escorting travellers around the remote Kimberley over 40 years ago, there was no permanent accommodation or network of staff – so we created them, with minimal impact on the environment, and with respect for local communities. Today, we offer expertly-crafted itineraries featuring all the spectacular sights and hidden secrets we've discovered since. Custom-Designed 4WD Our specially engineered custom-built Mercedes Benz and Isuzu 4WD vehicles set a global benchmark for these type of vehicles. So much so, that the Isuzu and Mercedes engineers who make them take a great interest in the operation of our vehicles for their own research and development purposes. APT's vehicles have an impeccable reliability record while traversing some of the roughest terrain in the world. As you travel along corrugated roads and ford rivers, your experienced Driver- Guide will make the task at hand look easy, all the while ensuring your comfort and safety. 4 Reclining Seats Coach-style reclining seats with ample leg room. 4 Astounding Views Large tinted windows provide unimpeded views. 4 State-of-the-Art PA System Enjoy expert commentary by your Driver-Guide. 4 For Your Safety & Convenience Each 4WD carries a satellite phone, a first aid kit, drinking water, fridges and air-conditioning. Kimberley Based Operations As an isolated frontier, travelling into the Kimberley region requires specialist local knowledge.
