Highlights & points of difference
● Historical and geographical perspectives, provided by Rick Moore, who is regarded as an expert in exploration and pastoral settlement of Australia. The understanding of why the country was opened up and by whom provides a deeper appreciation not available with most other operators. That means satisfaction and enjoyment for you. We know it sounds corny, but many people thank us profusely for this extra level of interpretation.
● Better standards of tucker, with more variety. We are not going to have endless BBQ's or use gas stoves to cook on every night. The delights of managing and cooking on an open fire are often mentioned by guests as a highlight.
● Comfort – especially in the vital areas of vehicle, dining, seating and sleeping arrangements. In this sense we have a discernable edge. Many passengers especially comment on the ride of the vehicle compared to others. As Rick says, "Any mug can be uncomfortable in the bush". That's why we go the extra yard and have the highest standards.
● Access to off the beaten track locations. The contacts and relationships developed by The Real Outback can get you far from the madding crowd. While there is nothing wrong with many of the well known routes, it's the entré to special, remote places and private campsites (we try to avoid campgrounds) which set us apart. That's one of the aspects you'll remember most when you reflect on your journey.
● Experience. It counts! We've crossed a few dry gullies to get here. No matter if it's following a rough station mud map or working out what to do in a sticky situation, the Johnny-come-lately's fall by the wayside. Why risk that scenario?
● Peace of mind. You don’t need to get bogged down in the drudgery and nitty gritty of meal and trip preparations. No need to buy satellite phones, GPS units & other expensive gadgets – we have done all that for you. Just relax and enjoy.
Access to out of the way places
Why choose us?
On the surface, all tour operators are going to promise the same sorts of things – fun, excitement, great views, etc. So, how do you separate the wheat from the chaff? It's easy - you already have to some extent, by being visiting us at The Real Outback.
Look for depth of experience, and length of time in the industry. The guide's background is vital and will give clues about areas of specialty and proficiency. Ask specific questions about things that matter to you and that you have an interest in. What does the guide know that a run of the mill operator doesn't? Can the operator take you anywhere out of the ordinary? Is the trip value for money?
