Fid and Cam were the best tour guides one could have, being a 71 year old female with very little 4wd experience they made crossing the Simpson Desert easy. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Very professional and so passionate with what they are doing which was lovely to see.

I cannot speak highly enough of [Fid’s] professionalism, knowledge of the tracks we went on and the local country, his knowledge of my vehicle to teach me how to better use the various settings and controls for low-range etc, river crossings and recovery techniques. Fid was very patient, detailed and ensured our needs were first and foremost. I would have no hesitation to recommend going on Fid's tours and we will be signing up for another one in the future. I cannot fault the long weekend trip and all the organisation and leading of it.

We went on the Abercrombie National Park tag along over three days. It was the best three days camping and 4wd we have ever had. Our experience with 4wd is limited and over the weekend we learnt so much. The reason we chose this trip was so we could learn to tow off road in a safe and confident manor. Very few companies offer towing. We learnt this and much more. I would advise anyone either beginners or experienced with 4WD to attend any of the trips offered. Both Fid and Cam's knowledge was invaluable to us.

We spent Easter in the Victorian High Country with 4x4 Explore, hosted by Shane and Heather. We had a fantastic time, exposed to challenging tracks, unlocking breathtaking views. Shane and Heather's organisation was spot on, with interesting historical information on the Wonnagatta Valley and Grant gold mining area. Although some of the driving was challenging, we felt safe and in control the entire weekend, due to Shane and Heather's preparation and guidance. I would thoroughly recommend these guys if you are after a guided 4x4 experience.

Excellent trip, loved the Vic High Country. Well organised and great background information!

There is simply no better method to pick up 4 wheel drive basics (or even for the experienced traveller to refine their techniques) than to travel with a well-equipped and experienced mentor. We have travelled with Heather and Shane a few times now and the friendliness, skills and professionalism they demonstrate is simply superb. If you have a 4WD and haven't ventured off the tarmac yet, what are you waiting for? Get in touch and tag along - you'll have a great time, learn a lot and come away with increased confidence.

What a fabulous Easter break we had in the VHC. Thanks Shane and Heather for your expertise and guidance. It gave us so much confidence and can't wait to get out there again.

This was my second trip with these guys, awesome experience and very professional. Fid led great drives through some beautiful country. Even when I thought the terrain and track was too difficult, Fid’s experience and calm explanation/instruction of what to do and how to handle each stage made the drive so enjoyable and I was able to overcome my hesitance. Shane and his team relate to all ages and abilities and made both my 17yo daughter and 10yo son feel very welcome and included in the trip. Feel so much more confident after what I learned. Thanks Shane and team!!

Have just returned from an extremely well run trip into the Victorian High Country. Fid is a natural leader, who is able to support all skill levels and provide knowledge and advice in a wide variety of topics - from tyre and suspension advice, to recovery techniques. He even cooked a couple of dampers sharing his technique with all. I highly recommend a trip with 4x4 Explore, knowing that Fid will bring it all together himself - you won't get a 'rostered trip lead' from a larger company.

Ivan

We have been on heaps of trips with Shane, great fun and a very capable leader!

Paul

Our second trip with 4x4 Explore was a wonderful trip. Booked on it to learn how to tow on different road conditions and experienced so much. Even though there were road closures we managed to get to all three corners with little detour thanks to 4x4 Explore’s efficient organisation. Would recommend 4x4 Explore to anyone that wants an adventure in the outback.

I started the weekend not having put the Ute in 4wd. Came away feeling like I was one with the vehicle.

Excellent value for money tour, comprehensive pre tour information, friendly & informative guides. Great tracks, picturesque camp site. Will be booking further tours.
