Book Online

From Australia's tropical north, travel south via Katherine Gorge to explore the highlights of the Kimberley on this overland adventure - including the iconic Gibb River Road, the Bungle Bungles and the west Kimberley gorges.

ITINERARY
Day 1 Darwin to Victoria River Region

Heading down from Darwin we stop at either Edith Falls for a swim or explore Katherine (Nitmiluk) Gorge  (seasonal choice). We travel on to the Victoria River region to set up camp. (LD)

Day 2 Victoria River Region to Kununurra Area

Today we visit Lake Argyle, created by the Ord River Dam. We spend time here admiring the beauty and sheer size of the Lake before making our way to our camp in the Kununurra area. (BLD)

Day 3 Kununurra Area to Bungle Bungles

It’s time for some 4WD action as we wind our way into the Bungle Bungle massif. It’s a rugged ride but the scenery is fantastic and you will enjoy your  first Kimberley sunset as we set up our bush camp. (BLD)

Day 4 Bungle Bungle National Park

It’s a full day of exploration today. The rock formations of the Bungle Bungles massif are remarkable and we visit breathtaking Echidna Chasm and magnificent Cathedral Gorge. There’s an opportunity to view the Bungles by helicopter (own expense) before we return to camp. (BLD)

Day 5 Bungle Bungles to El Questro

We travel out of the Bungles to El Questro Station. Sit back and admire the awesome scenery of the Carr Boyd and Durack Ranges as we head to Turkey Creek and onto El Questro to set up camp. (BLD)

Day 6 El Questro Station to Gibb River Road

Up early we hike into the beautiful Cockburn Ranges for a refreshing swim under the waterfall at Emma Gorge before starting our journey over the Pentecost River and along the Gibb River Road. (BLD)

Day 7 Gibb River Road and Gorges

Today it’s time for swimming and hiking in the Kimberleys! We explore striking Manning Gorge and Barnett Gorge (time permitting). Your experienced guide will use their local knowledge to determine the most accessible gorges to explore. Tonight we camp at Manning Gorge. (BLD)

Day 8 Manning Gorge to Windjana Gorge

Today we explore Galvins or Adcock Gorge (seasonal) before making our way to Windjana Gorge, known for its abundant freshwater crocodiles. It’s also our camp for the night. (BLD)

Day 9 Windjana Gorge to Broome

We head towards the Napier Range and the fascinating 750 metre underground tunnel of Tunnel Creek, an area rich in bushranger history. Making tracks, we head towards Broome and stop briefly at Willare Bridge, where a rushing torrent of water flows in the mighty Fitzroy River (seasonal). Late afternoon we arrive in Broome, our aim is to catch up brilliant Cable Beach sunset. (BL)
