Overview

About The Kimberley

Travelling through the Kimberley, it’s hard not to be captivated by its history. The region is rich in Indigenous culture, being home to Aboriginal people for tens of thousands of years with their ancient culture recorded through stunning rock art. More recently, from the early explorers to pastoral pioneers, to the defence of our shores during WWII; they’re all fascinating feats of bravery, courage and endurance.

Whichever part of the Kimberley is calling, the adventure of a lifetime awaits with Outback Spirit.

Australia's leading experiential tourism group

Outback Spirit is part of Journey Beyond, a national business focused on bringing Australia’s most unique and iconic experiences to life. Outback Spirit was founded in 1999 and has been showcasing great Australian destinations to travellers to this day.

Supporting Aboriginal Communities

Outback Spirit supports remote Indigenous communities in certain locations across the Kimberley & Arnhem land by way of employment opportunities, community sponsorships and support for Indigenous owned businesses. For example, Outback Spirit sponsors over a dozen football teams in Ramingining and Maningrida, both directly and through local schools.

The company also creates jobs for local interpretive guides, which gives Outback Spirit passengers an authentic insight into the environment and local culture. It also helps to preserve Indigenous culture. Past initiatives have included the provision of teachers and tutors in small communities where no school facilities exist.
