Itinerary
Welcome to Broome! Or Rubibi, in the language of the Yawuru people, who are the Traditional Custodians of the land on which Broome is now located. Get an early start on your adventure this morning as you travel through the remote Kimberley landscape. After crossing the Fitzroy River, visit the 1500-year-old Boab Prison Tree in Derby, then continue along the Gibb River Road to Windjana Gorge, found within the Napier Range. Over 350 million years old, this natural landscape boasts towering gorge walls, freshwater crocodiles and plenty of local birdlife. Tonight, settle into camp near Windjana Gorge and watch as the stars come alive, away from the city lights.
Included Meals:
Lunch, Dinner
The morning, after the campsite is packed up, is devoted to exploring Tunnel Creek. Spend time exploring the 750-m cave system, learning about the legend of Jandamarra, searching for stalactites and looking out for the cave’s resident freshwater crocodiles. In the afternoon, depart for Bell Gorge (Dalmanyi), a largely unknown highlight of the West Kimberleys, which boasts waterfalls and clear-water pools formed millions of years ago. Hike to the falls and enjoy a few hours of rest and relaxation by the water before setting off to tonight’s campsite at Silent Grove.
Included Meals:
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Today’s adventure starts with a drive to Galvans Gorge. After a short walk to the pool, dive into the cool waters, sit underneath the falls for a natural back massage and lounge on the rock ledges. Then, explore the rock walls beside the main pool, where you’ll find Wandjina rock art. Later, arrive at Mt Barnett Station campground, where you’ll stay for the next two nights.
Included Meals:
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
It’s an early start today to make the most of the walking trail to Manning Gorge and Falls. There’s plenty of time for swimming, relaxing and soaking up the sights and sounds of the Kimberleys. Return for lunch back at camp, then enjoy an afternoon of free time. You might like to find a nice spot to read and relax or enjoy the nearby creek for another swim before another camp dinner.
Included Meals:
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Say goodbye to the West Kimberley gorges as you journey through the centre of the Kimberleys to El Questro Wilderness Park. Prepare for a long day of driving over 350km through the rough terrain of the Kimberleys via the Gibb River Road. It’s a bit of a travel day, so have your favourite book, podcast or music on hand. Or, simply sit back and enjoy the vast remote stretches of the Outback. Today’s drive will be broken up with plenty of stops to stretch your legs, get lunch and see local sights like the Pentecost River Lookout. After a river crossing or two, arrive at tonight’s accommodation where you have the option to have dinner at the El Questro restaurant and a drink at the Swinging Arm Bar.
Included Meals:
Breakfast, Lunch
Over the next few days, you’ll explore the many gorges and hikes of the El Questro Station. Today’s adventure includes two hikes to nearby gorges. The first, Emma Gorge, involves a bit of careful rock hopping through the bush with the payoff being a droplet waterfall and watering hole, surrounded by greenery-lined rock walls. The next destination, the El Questro Gorge, offers a short and a long walk. The short walk takes you through the Livistona palms rainforest, across the creek to the halfway pool, where you’ll be able to swim. From here, the longer trail begins, becoming more challenging but well worth the effort as you reach the cool Mac Micking pool and falls for a swim. Finish off the day with a soak at the Zebedee Thermal Springs, surrounded by an ancient forest of palm trees and gentle waterfalls.
Included Meals:
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
This morning, set off for another scenic hike in the El Questro Park. Wander along the Amalia Gorge Trail, where you’ll rock scramble across sandstone slabs and creek beds to reach the pools. Bring your swimsuit to enjoy a well-earned dip in the water, then continue your hike and return to camp. After, you have several ways to spend your last afternoon at El Questro. Choose to either relax at the resort, enjoy time exploring the park or take up one of the optional activities, including a cruise at Chamberlain Gorge, a bush tucker walk or a birdwatching tour.
Included Meals:
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Today you’ll pack up and head to the town of Kununurra, with a stop at the Parry Lagoons Nature Reserve to see hundreds of waterbirds, including herons, spoonbills and magpie geese. This afternoon, you’ll have time to get some washing done or relax with a book while your crew buy plenty of fresh food for the next section of the trip. Tonight, you’re free to enjoy a drink at the pub or drop into a local restaurant for dinner.
Included Meals:
Breakfast, Lunch
Known as the ‘Mini Bungles’, Mirima National Park is your first stop today with plenty of time to stop and appreciate the colourful layered rock formations created more than 300 million years ago. Lunch is at your own expense today and this afternoon there is the option to join a river cruise down the Ord River to the Dam Wall.
Included Meals:
Breakfast
Hit the road for Purnululu National Park – one of three natural UNESCO World Heritage sites in Western Australia – and get set for a drive along outback tracks with creek crossings, washaways and rough, slow sections. After setting up camp, there’s time for a stroll before your leader takes you to the perfect spot to watch the sunset against the red rocks of the Bungle Bungles Range. Grab a drink and enjoy one of the state’s most famous sights as the rocks change colour.
Included Meals:
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
This morning, you could take an optional helicopter flight for a bird's-eye view over the beehive domes. Later, you’ll explore Echidna Chasm, known for its towering Livistona palm trees. Set off on the Echidna Chasm Walk, following the steep-sided gorge walls with shades of oranges and reds that glow when the sun hits them. Next up is the Mini Palms Gorge walk. After, you’ll spend the night at camp and rest those weary legs.
Included Meals:
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
This morning, you'll be welcomed to Country by a local Aboriginal guide. Then, head off on a walk through the domes as you learn about bush tucker and bush medicine. Continuing into Cathedral Gorge, your guide will tell tales of how Countrymen would walk the country you’re walking. As you enter the gorge, your guide will share the space with you in their cultural way, whether that be through drawing, singing or storytelling. Then, it’s time to pack up and drive to Larrawa Station for the last night of your Kimberleys adventure. Tonight, join your group and celebrate the trip with a drink and dinner at Larrawa Station campground.
Included Meals:
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Break camp after breakfast and drive to Fitzroy Crossing. Take a walk down to the banks of the Fitzroy River before continuing the drive to Broome, where your trip will come to an end upon arrival at approximately 5:30pm. It’s recommended that you book another night in Broome before flying out, as delays may occur. Once in Broome, your leader will drop you at your nominated accommodation or back at the default starting location.
