‘I loved every bit of our six days living and breathing the epic Kimberley landscape while being guided by superhero horses and an amazing outback family team. We had very comfortable camps and shared lots of amazing food and stories amongst awesome new friends. I loved riding Limerick, a kind and beautiful mare who never put a foot wrong. The biggest highlights were riding into El Questro Station on day 5 and swimming in Moonshine Gorge and Zebedee Springs. Thanks Laura, Christian, Matt, Gwen, Sarah and Toby for being such gracious hosts. I’ll be riding with you again soon!’

‘I had the best time in the Kimberley, met wonderful people and really enjoyed the landscape and all the time in the saddle. The horse I rode, Zeus, made my trip. We were perfectly matched – I enjoyed his sass, but also found that he was a responsive, easy ride. Being my first riding holiday, I was a bit unsure of travelling alone, but I quickly made friends and bonded over our love of adventure and horses. I came home relaxed and refreshed. I’d definitely recommend this ride.’

‘You could not ask for better guides! They knew the history of where we rode, could identify flora and fauna, and were super helpful regarding the horses, riding, tack, etc. I felt comfortable and safe riding Riley, and I think he liked me too! The campsite, Nag Hole, was lovely. We spent most afternoons floating in the beautiful, refreshing waterhole with a glass of bubbles. Sleeping in a swag under the stars was magnificent. The camp bathroom and dunny had to be seen to be believed! Open air, flowers, perfume sticks, great hot water. The meals were varied and yummy.
Day four was my favourite. We got a lot of cantering in, waded through flooded roads and swam in waterholes. We stopped at Moonshine Gorge to swim and explore and it was like a movie set, so beautiful! Then we went to Zebedee Falls: four or five rock pools cascading into each other through absolutely sublime rainforest. The water was around 34 degrees, and if you stood under a waterfall it was a seriously dreamy massage! I wanted to stay forever, riding every day then coming back to Nag Hole.’

‘The adventure of a lifetime! Laura and Christian were incredible hosts and very passionate about the country and its history. The terrain and climate is tough, however the horses are exceptionally well trained and cared for, making the trip an absolute dream! I rode Harry, who was very well behaved, calm and responsive. Every day was amazing. A fabulous, immersive way to experience this part of the Kimberley.’

‘An incredible outback adventure. There is no better way to explore the breathtaking scenery of the remote Kimberley region than on the back of a forward-moving horse. We were riding through untamed wilderness and rugged beauty, savannah woodlands with ancient boab trees, along ranges and across rivers and billabongs. Our knowledgeable, attentive guides went the extra mile to make sure we had an unforgettable riding experience. The horses were reliable, responsive and in great condition. Swimming in tropical waterholes, enjoying delicious campfire cooking and sleeping in a cozy swag under the stars after a long day in the saddle was just perfect. Moonshine Gorge and the hot thermal pools were my highlights. And beautiful Limerick, a dream horse who I really bonded with. I shed a tear when it was time to say goodbye!’

‘The Kimberley Ride has stolen my heart with its raw Australian countryside, exploring places you would never get to see on foot or by car. Seeing this part of Australia through the ears of a horse is truly magical. The service and food were beyond expectations. The whole team goes above and beyond with many a surprise along the way. Each day is filled with wonderful adventures, varying scenery, history and stories, and the evenings are finished with a touch of magic. The horses are surefooted, responsive and very well looked after. I have many memories to take home that I will never forget!’

‘I had a wonderful time on The Kimberley Ride. Every day was different and I enjoyed the variety. Laura and Christian were very hospitable and together with Stephanie, Gwen and Matt they worked hard to make the experience great for everyone. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was amazing. The scenery was great. The weather was quite hot, but there was an opportunity for a swim most days. The horses were well behaved and very hardy given the terrain. We were also very fortunate to have a fantastic, varied group of guests. I was really pleased that I did the ride and pleasantly surprised with the accommodation, as this was the first time I had ever camped.’

‘Everyone should do this ride. Yes it was hot and dusty, but it was a true Australian Outback experience. I felt so alive while riding and around the campfire. Sleeping on the camp stretchers in fly-net swags was a highlight of the trip. Waking up to the red sunrise was something I will never forget – a lifelong dream. I rode Limerick and she was just beautiful. Quiet as a kitten, with a lovely loping canter, I felt very safe but could still ask her to do things, as she was very responsive. The guides were all amazing – always smiling. They love their job and it shows. Every need I had was met. I loved every second of this experience.’

‘The Kimberley Ride surpassed all my expectations. Our every need was catered for and I had the most incredible experience. Our camp beds were brilliant, the food was fantastic and the guides and support staff were outstanding! I rode Mack, who was incredibly surefooted and made me feel very safe. Every day was just amazing. I returned feeling inspired, rejuvenated and ready to embrace my life again! Seeing this part of our country on horseback was a ‘bucket list’ event for me, and I intend to return and do the ride all over again. Best trek ever!!’
