One of the best ways to experience the magnificent landscape of the Kimberley is on two legs. Lace up your hiking boots and get up close and personal to the gorges, swimming holes, waterfalls and vistas that make this such an iconic Australian destination. On this 13-day trip, you’ll combine guided walks with the region’s major highlights, including the Gibb River Road and its gorges, El Questro Wilderness Park and Purnululu National Park (the Bungle Bungles). Settle in and chill out in a custom-built 4WD coach as you explore the Kimberley region with an expert leader on this camping adventure.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
START & END TIMES
This trip starts in Broome at our default pick-up location (Broome Time Resort) at 06:45am, unless you request an alternative pick-up location at least 14 days prior to departure. The trip finishes on arrival back into Broome on the last day at around 5:30pm. We recommend you arrive a day prior to the trip's departure date and onward travel should not be booked until the following day.
TRIP STYLE & SLEEPING BAG
Accommodation on this trip is twin share and is a combination of pop-up tents and permanent tents with stretcher beds and a mattress. You must bring a sleeping bag, suitable to the conditions. Please familiarise yourself with the weather conditions that are to be expected at the time of your trip. You can also hire a sleeping bag from us at an additional cost. This must be requested with your booking agent no later than 14 days prior to departure. Please also bring your own pillow, pillowcase and bottom sheet.
WALKING & TREKKING
This is a hiking trip. Please come physically prepared and with the right hiking gear in order to complete the hikes safely and comfortably. Please read the trip notes carefully and take note of the packing list.
SINGLE SUPPLEMENT
A Single Supplement is bookable on this trip, subject to availability at the time of booking. The single supplement covers the nights of days 8 and 9 in Kununurra only. Camping nights are twin share.
WEATHER
Departures are all subject to regional weather conditions and road closures – usually only a concern in Apr & Oct / Nov.
LUGGAGE
Space in our vehicles is limited so please keep luggage light – bring only essentials in a small soft bag, MAXIMUM 15kg. Suitcases are NOT suitable. Excess luggage must be left in Broome or sent to a forward destination.
PARTICIPATORY CAMPING
It is important that travellers participate in setting up camp each night, though the leader can assist where necessary. The leader also appreciates the assistance of one or two group members in preparing/clearing meals. It is essential that all our groups leave the camp they stay in as they found them for the next travellers - the Kimberley is a pristine wilderness and it is our responsibility to ensure it stays this way.
DIETARY REQUIREMENTS
It is very important that you advise us of any dietary requirements and allergies at least 2 weeks prior to departure. We need this information well ahead of time to be able to organise catering for the trip. Broome's remote location means that some food items will not be available on short notice, and once the trip has commenced, changes to dietary requirements are not possible.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS
As we operate in remote areas, you will need to bring all of your own personal medications with you. While our leaders are qualified in remote area or wilderness first aid and carry satellite phones, we do not carry any emergency medications. If a person requires urgent medical attention during the trip, it may take several hours or more for emergency services to attend the scene and take you to a medical facility. If you have any pre-existing medical issues that will affect your ability to complete the trip or may have an impact on other guests’ experiences and you do not disclose these prior to the departure, we reserve the right to remove you from the trip.

Collapse all
Collapse allDay 1: Broome
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, wander around an art gallery before continuing 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.
Day 2: Bandiln͟gan (Windjana Gorge) National Park
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.
Day 3: Manning Gorge
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.
Day 4: Manning Gorge
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.
Day 5: El Questro Station
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.
Day 6: El Questro Station
Over the next few days, you’ll explore the many gorges and hikes of the El Questro Station. Start off the day with a soak at the Zebedee Thermal Springs, surrounded by an ancient forest of palm trees and gentle waterfalls. El Questro Station opens the pools early exclusively for our groups, before opening to general public. 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. Time permitting and depending on the season and water levels in the gorge, head to 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.
Day 7: El Questro Station
This morning, set off for another scenic hike in the El Questro Park. 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. 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.
Day 8: Kununurra
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.
Day 9: Kununurra
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.
Day 10: Purnululu National Park
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.
Day 11: Purnululu National Park
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.
Day 12: Larrawa Station
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.
Day 13: Broome
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.
