2013 - APT Kimberley Wilderness Adventures

Welcome to the Kimberley The vast expanses of the Kimberley once presented hardship to the early explorers and first settlers who came here. Their stories of courage and adventure remain, as does the untouched wilderness of Australia's last frontier, where fiery red landscapes and emerald flora are set off against cobalt blue skies. The same secluded gorges hide ancient Aboriginal art, welcoming waterholes and palm-filled oases. Towering rock faces still send water tumbling into a crystal blue sea. It's a timeless land. Rob, Geoff and Lou McGeary APT has been showing the remote rugged beauty of the Kimberley and revealing its secrets to guests for more than 40 years. Over this time, we've established relationships with the Indigenous people that make your experience as rich as possible. No other operator can match our network of exclusive Wilderness Lodges that offer comfort with adventure. Each itinerary reflects our understanding of this region and how best to explore it. Expert Driver-Guides, state-of-the-art 4WD vehicles, and the strategic settings of our APT wilderness lodges, all work in perfect harmony to give you an unforgettable holiday.
