We carry a satphone and a PLB (EPIRB) so we can always call for assistance no matter how remote we are.
All guides are first-aid and CPR qualified. We carry a comprehensive remote first-aid kit and a defibrillator (AED).
We offer two different tours so you can decide how you want to explore The Cape.
We make all the arrangements so you don't need to do anything - just turn up at the start!
Our guides are qualified and accredited in both 4WD instruction and tour guiding.
We know the history, the flora & fauna, the people, the secret spots - we'll share it with you.
We offer real world 4WD training on tour to assist you, no matter your experience level.
We live, work and play in Far North Queensland - so we know it intimately!
We limit the size of our group to ensure we can give you a personal service.
Travelling with like minded people. Share the experience and make life-long friends.
"Just do it!! If you have ever thought about heading to the Cape we can thoroughly recommend Ben Perry's Swagalong Tours - His knowledge of the Cape is incredible and he will guide you safely to places that are not even on the map - as well as all the well known places. This is definitely the best tour we have been on and we cannot recommend it highly enough!! Huge THANKYOU to Ben and our new Cape York Family for making it a trip of a lifetime!!"

Our travel with them was epic!"
Perth, WA
"Friendly, knowledgable and very professional tour leaders. Ben delivered evrything his website information promised and more. I appreciated his guidance and training as I learnt how to drive the tracks we crossed. At all times we felt safe and well supported.
In summary Swagalong Tours is the best way to really see and learn about Cape York."
Croudace Bay, NSW
"Swagalong are experts on the Cape and take a lot of stress out of the trip. They have safety and planning all sorted and so you just need to enjoy the drive in the comfort of your own car. Mark and Ben were excellent in responding and organising activities and solutions along the way. A great way to the Cape"

"We had a lot of laughs, gasps and wows on our trip to Cape York. We went to places off grid and survived! We learnt about many different things that we wouldn’t have seen or gone to if not on this tour and had courage to cross rivers, creeks and bridges with directions from our fellow travellers. We made a new family on this tour. Loved every minute, thank you Ben."
Peregian Beach, QLD
"Awesome trip. No stress, great itinerary, everything pre-booked. Guide Ben was a wealth of information & took us to places we would never have found on our own. We went from being complete 4WD beginners to comfortable in lots of different terrain! Add to that a great bunch of like-minded people to spend time chatting around a campfire!"
