Customer testimonials

Darren’s knowledge far exceeded my expectations. He made sure everyone found gold, even loaning me his own detector. A truly enjoyable and successful detecting experience.
Andrew W
Everything was so well organised, and the shearing shed was a brilliant touch. In 12 days with Darren I found more gold than on my previous three WA trips combined.
David K
We covered new ground and old diggings — everyone found gold. Without expert guidance it would be very hard to succeed. I’d gladly recommend this tour.

Stop dreaming about gold.
Start experiencing the real Goldfields.

Embark on a true outback Tag-Along adventure — a week in the Goldfields where every day offers the chance to uncover real WA gold. This isn’t a packaged holiday. It’s the raw, exhilarating experience of prospecting in some of the most historic and gold-rich country in Australia. You’ll challenge the elements, sharpen your skills and, with a bit of luck, uncover nuggets that become stories you’ll tell for years.

Evenings are spent unwinding at your own camp, sharing yarns with fellow travellers, swapping tips, and enjoying the simple quiet of the bush under a sky full of stars. The gold is a thrill, but the real treasure is often the friendships made along the way.

Many guests return year after year, drawn back by the excitement, the mateship and the ever-changing locations. Each tour explores a variety of ground, giving you a new adventure every time.

This tour includes daily gold prospecting expeditions, support from experienced trainers and convoy access to hand-selected gold-bearing locations.

​​​​​​​Join us and experience firsthand why prospectors across Australia call the Wester Australia Goldfields the most addictive place on earth.

Your questions answered

Do I need a WA Miners Right

Yes. A Western Australian Miner’s Right is required to legally search for and keep gold.
You can purchase one online here for $30 before the tour, or we can take you to buy one on the first day

Do I need my own metal detector?
Yes. You can bring your own detector, provided it’s suitable for the goldfields. We always suggest a Minelab gold detector, as their performance in mineralised ground is unmatched. We have Minelab hire detectors available for hire if you do not have a suitable machine.
Will I find gold?
You’ll be taken to carefully selected gold-bearing locations chosen for their strong potential, giving you the best possible chance of success. However, gold is never guaranteed, and every find is unique. What we can promise is expert guidance, proven ground, and the excitement of knowing that any signal could be something special.
What level of fitness is required?

You need basic fitness and mobility to prospect, along with reasonable hearing. The tour is self-paced, so you can go as fast or slow as you prefer.
