Absolutely fantastic from start to finish! This was a present for my husband’s birthday and we could not have asked for more. From my initial queries through to pick up and drop off of the vehicle, Tracey and Darren were so helpful, friendly and professional. We fell in love with our defender and it was so much fun to drive. Literally everything you could think of was provided too and the equipment was absolutely top quality. We had pretty strong winds during our hire and the tents were bullet proof! Thank you both - we will definitely be back!

Great adventure with everything you need provided. Great communication from the owners who were obviously passionate about what they offer and want you to get the best experience you can. Can't fault the vehicles or the equipment provided all of a very high spec.

Thank you so much to Tracy and Darren for helping me arrange my husbands surprise 50th birthday present. Tracy and Darren were extremely helpful throughout the whole booking process, even when we were away they were contactable for any questions or queries. We were provided with all the information we required, along with helpful You Tube videos to help with setting up, an easy step by step process. The Land Rovers have everything (and more) that you need and everything is excellent quality, like new. We would definitely recommend booking with Overland Adventures and we hope to book again in the near future. Thank you for a wonderful adventure.

We had a brilliant time. 4 of us and a dog were more than comfortable with the two roof tents and the dog hammock. Darren and Tracey were great, they gave us all the information we needed and provided everything possible for our trip, clothes and food is really all we needed to take. I’d highly recommend Overland Adventures to anyone, it’s so much fun!
