Great fun in Untamed Western Australia

Great way to traverse the South West of Australia in a small diverse group of like minded travelers. Driver & Guide Scott was super, well informed on the areas, kept us all in time, cooked terrific meals and showed considerable kindness to each individual guest. Scott went Above & Beyond each day. I would not hesitate to travel with Untamed Adventures again.

Response from the operator: Hi there, What a fantastic way to explore the South West of Australia! Scott was an outstanding guide—knowledgeable, organized, and always going above and beyond. Great meals, lots of laughs, and a small, friendly group made the trip even better. I wouldn’t hesitate to travel with Untamed Escapes again. Warm regards, Untamed Escapes Team 🌿

Amazing trip

The whole tour experience was amazing. Everything was well planned and the food was fresh and delicious. The nature is incredible and the campgrounds were well chosen. Shawn and Rachel were great guides and shared their local knowledge throughout the trip. They were flexible and accommodated different options. It’s an interactive tour with many scenic hikes and stunning beach stops.

Beautiful scenery, great guide, but too much time on an uncomfortable bus.

This was our first tour with Untamed Escapes and indeed our first trip to Australia (from France). So we jumped at the opportunity to experience camping, Australian style, i.e. swag camping, knowing there was little chance of rain. Scott, our leader, was amazing. He did the driving, shopped, cooked our meals, and narrated our way through the countryside, telling us about Australia, past and present. And he always had time to answer specific questions. (He even arranged for me to pick up a book that I left on the bus at the end of the trip a couple of days later.) There was also an assistant, a "2IC", who was also very friendly and informative, but he spent most of his time flirting with the young women in the group. We saw lots of kangaroos, heard lots of unfamiliar birds, and slept under the stars of the southern hemisphere. Now for the negatives. When we signed up, we had the distinct impression that we would be spending a good deal of our time hiking in the various locations we'd be visiting. So much so that before leaving we bought new trainers that we could use for trail walking, city touring, running, etc. We needn't have bothered. There was only one real day of (very enjoyable) hiking - day 3 of the 6-day trip. Day 2 was supposed to be a hiking day, too, but Day 1 got transformed into a minibus repair day, so we couldn't make it to the originally-planned destination. Mind you, it's not that our minibus broke down during the trip. Rather, Scott for some reason had to change the agenda before we even set out, so that he could get the minibus repaired. This meant we had to cool our heels for an afternoon in a salt-water swimming hole, rather than continuing on to Fitzgerald River National Park. We never hiked in the park. Repairs aside, the minibus was not a spring chicken. The suspension left much to be desired. It was underpowered for the weight of the trailer it was pulling. I was wondering if there might be a second repair stop during the week. There was also less legroom than in any airplane seat I've sat in. Anyone measuring more than 1m75 had to turn his - or her - legs to the side or choose an aisle seat. Maybe this was all part of the adventure! Lastly, there was so much time on the bus that there were only a couple of hours each day to tour. I know that you can't make an omelet without breaking eggs, and if you're going to see Western Australia, you're gonna have to cover a lot of distance, but still.... We weren't even able to walk around in Albany or Margaret River, because we made so many other short stops, specifically to a chocolate factory, a honey shop and two wineries! Personally, I need to spend time in a place to soak up the ambiance, the vibe and to remember it without everything becoming a blur. To my mind, perhaps we could have spent two nights in each of three locations (rather than 2 nights in 1 location and 1 night in each of the other 4 locations), thereby leaving more time for outdoor activities, even if that were to mean we'd cover less than the 2,500 kilometres we did cover.

Response from the operator: Hi there, Firstly, we want to thank you for joining our tour to Esperance and Margaret River. It looks like you got to have some fantastic experiences, all with the brilliant guidance of Scott and Rob. Although it is sometimes difficult to hear that everything has not gone to plan, or the itinerary needs improvement, it is always important to understand where we could be doing better so we can continue to ensure the highest quality tours possible. Everything you have mentioned has been noted for when we review our tours for the following season. We hope the positives of your tour outweighed the difficulties, and you can look fondly back on your time in Western Australia, and we hope to see you again in the future. Warm regards, The Untamed Escapes Team
