Adventure Holidays with a Difference
Escape!
Trade the stress of the city for the peace of the bush and trek through a wilderness where no vehicle can ever go.
Look at the wonderful landscape before you. Smell the wildflowers. Listen to the birds. Relax in a rock shelter as you admire the Aboriginal paintings on the walls. Pamper yourself with swim after swim in clear, tropical pools.
Sound inviting? If so, our
bushwalking holidays are for you.
The perfect adventure holiday
Young or old, our treks are the perfect adventure holiday if you
- want to experience nature on its own terms.
- want to enjoy the world's most comfortable wilderness.
- are reasonably fit and willing to do some pre-trip preparation.
- like the idea of leaving the car at home.
- want to enjoy bush cooking at its best.
- are looking for a unique experience, not just an iced drink and a civilised bed at night.
There is no one else
Willis's Walkabouts is the only north Australian tour operator offering
- overnight
bushwalks in Kakadu.
- a variety of overnight
bushwalks in the Kimberley and Pilbara.
- going beyond the tracks on treks of a week or more in the Red Centre.
- treks where you hike with an Aboriginal guide for up to three weeks.
- a variety of
bushwalking holidays in other countries.
Please note. Although we run our overseas trips the same way we run our Australian trips, the Ecotourism Association of Australia cannot certify trips outside Australia.
25 years leading these treks has given us a level of experience and expertise that no one else can possibly match.
Imagine
hiking through the timeless landscapes of northern Australia where
- the only sign that anyone has ever been there before are Aboriginal rock paintings.
- you enjoy daily swims in clear, tropical pools.
- you camp in beautiful places you share with no one but your walking companions.
- you relax by the campfire while your guide prepares you a delicious three course meal.
- the weather is so perfect that you can sleep under the stars with no need for a tent.
No two trips are alike
Our walks are designed to show you the best that each region has to offer in each of our many seasons. This would be impossible if we simply did the same treks over and over again.
You can choose anything from a three day stroll to a six week trekking expedition, a scheduled departure or your own special charter.
To see our trip list, prices and available discounts, click on "Trips" in the top menu, then click on an area of interest in the list on the left. Alternatively, you can click here for our latest printable trip list.
Our trips are different, so different that we can't possibly offer a one-click booking form. Our How to Book page explaine exactly what you need to do to finalise a booking and has links to all of the relevant forms.
Experienced bushwalker or novice
Our clients have ranged in age from six to 80. Many have never done an overnight hike before. Others have been doing extended hikes for years.
Whether you are a novice or an old hand, our essentials page is full of useful information.
If you've never done an overnight
bushwalk before, we strongly recommend you visit our essentials page and read the pages which contain the absolute minimum you need to know before you book one of our trips.
We'd much rather have a smaller number of satisfied customers than a larger number of dissatisfied ones. Join us and see why, in our region, no other tour operator has a greater percent of repeat customers.
