We were incredibly lucky to bump into Derek at the petrol station / tourist info office in Hawker, I had read about his tours on line but we hadn't booked as unsure on our plans. However on meeting Derek ( I recognized his vehicle from the web site so approached him) he came across as a friendly chap keen to... More

We were glad we found Derek's 4WD Tours as he offered value for money with a full day tour of 2 gorges for nearly the same as a half day tour with another company. Morning tea was provided and we brought our own lunch. There was opportunity to do some walking for those who wished and his personal and local... More

Just spent a wonderful day with Derek and 2 other couples, Derek's passion for the Flinders ranges, fossils, wild life, plants, tree's and many more exciting items, for journey back in time, absolutely a wonderful guide and host. Recommend this trip to everyone who visit's the Flinders Range's More

Derek and his tour were great. He is very informative and keeps a nice atmosphere going in the 4WD vehicle. the Flinders tour was not that much adventurous 4WDing; it sounds like the private property tour is more along those lines. So pick what kind of trip you like since Derek does both! Personally I enjoyed the geology and local... More

Tip, book early and have a couple of date options if you can. Derek has lived in the area for a long time and knows more about the place than you can take in. . . We found Derek flexible which suited us, the groups are of a limited size and compared to other providers the price is right. If... More

We went on a day 4WD tour with Derek in mid April 2011. From every communication he was professional and courteous, called you back quickly and collected on time. The tour was great fun as well as being incredibly interesting. Derek has a real talent for creating 'living' geology and explaining the quite complex series of events that has lead... More

Derek took my friends and I on a tour through Brachina Gorge in the Flinders Ranges late last year and I was thoroughly impressed. Not only did we have a good laugh, but we were treated to a fascinating geography/geology lesson which put our surroundings into historical context and completely changed the way I look at the Flinders Ranges. Derek's... More

Exellent day out with Derek. You don't feel rushed as Derek will pace the day to suit your group. Very knowlegable on the fauna and flora as well as the history of how Wilpena and the surrounding ranges were formed. Showed us animals and insects that you would easily miss if you drove yourself. As proved by the cars passing... More

This was a super day out in the amazing Flinders National Park riding with Derek and 4 others. Derek is a wonderful guide, particularly if you are from UK. He is so enthusiastic about the land and it's flora and fauna. He knew the best viewing points around Wilpena and was able to point out trapdoor spiders, ant lions as... More
