 Tag Along
Are you looking to travel with others?

 

If you already have a 4WD and want to experience the remote country safely, easily, and in the company of others, it's worth considering one of the many guided services or "tag-along" operators.

 

They may be able to set you up with a 4WD hire vehicle, if necessary, and may even take a passenger or two.

 

Some provide a catering service and can produce wonderful meals in the bush, including wine with the evening meal. Most of these operations expect a little help preparing the food, washing dishes, and carrying some of the tucker; usually on an informal roster basis.

 

Other operations only provide a guiding service. These are much cheaper, but you need provide your own food and cooking expertise.

 

These services generally provide experienced 4WD guides; who will show you how to get the best out of your 4WD and teach you recovery techniques. These tours provide a terrific basis for the 4WD adventure of a lifetime!

 

Full communications equipment and recovery gear are normally required. You should not venture out into the outback without this gear in any event. Many of these tours are able to gain access to areas that would not normally be available to the independent traveller. They also know the worthwhile attractions, camping spots, and will take care of permits.
