Driving
Do I need a 4WD for the Gibb River Road?
Yes. The Gibb River Road and gorge access tracks (Windjana Gorge, Tunnel Creek, Bell Gorge and beyond) require a 4WD. See our vehicle access and suitability page for guidance on which trips need which vehicle.
When is the best time to visit the Kimberley?
The dry season, roughly 1 May to 30 September, is peak travel time. Many unsealed roads including sections of the Gibb River Road can be impassable in the wet season. See our seasonal travel page for details.
Corporate & Mining
Can you supply mine-spec vehicles?
Yes, we can fit typical mine-site safety and visibility equipment to our 4WDs and utes. Site-specific compliance requirements vary, so confirm exact specifications with our team before booking for a particular site.
Do you offer flexible or extended hire terms for businesses?
Yes, we work with corporate, government and mining customers on flexible hire arrangements. Get in touch through our corporate enquiry form to discuss your requirements.
