Introduction
Intriguing geological wonders and Aboriginal-guided experiences are highlights of this cross-Kimberley adventure. Discover World Heritage Purnululu National Park (Bungle Bungle) and Geikie Gorge, cruise the majestic Ord River and enjoy a day at leisure to explore the coastal paradise of Broome.

Tour Itinerary

Day 1. Kununurra
Arrive in Kununurra, the Kimberley's eastern gateway, with several natural wonders a short drive away.

Day 2. Lake Argyle, Ord River Cruise, Lake Kununurra
This morning you have some free time to explore Kununurra. Then we travel to Lake Argyle, the largest man-made lake in the southern hemisphere, with 18 times the capacity of Sydney Harbour. This afternoon, we join a guided cruise on the upper Ord River to Lake Kununurra. Admire the spectacular scenery and look for birdlife, flying foxes and crocodiles.

Day 3. Purnululu (Bungle Bungle) National Park, Echidna Chasm
Departing Kununurra, we travel to Purnululu National Park, home to the remarkable Bungle Bungle domes. In July 2003, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee added Purnululu to its prestigious list, honouring the park's 'outstanding universal geological value' and 'exceptional natural beauty'. This is your opportunity to discover the magic of Purnululu for yourself. Considering the park was virtually unknown to white Australians until 1982, the park's remoteness is equalled only by its untouched, mysterious beauty. Today we explore the northern part of the park. Hike into Echidna Chasm, a mysterious cleft in the rock massif. Then we head to our exclusive Lodge. Enjoy the unique wilderness experience of staying within the national park without having to 'rough it'.

Day 4. Bungle Bungle Range, Cathedral Gorge, Sunset Drinks
Hike along Piccaninny Creek, a dry riverbed allowing a close-up inspection of the Bungle Bungle domes. We explore Cathedral Gorge, a natural amphitheatre where you can test out your vocal chords. Marvel at the beehive domes as your guide brings the natural history of the range to life. There is time to join an optional helicopter flight (own expense). Enjoy drinks and witness the sun setting over the domes.

Day 5. Halls Creek, Fitzroy Crossing
Visit Halls Creek. See China Wall, a natural quartz formation, before heading to Fitzroy Crossing. Overnight on the banks of the Fitzroy River.

Day 6. Geikie Gorge Cruise, Broome
With our local guide we enjoy an active morning exploring Geikie Gorge. Here, annual flooding has created a bleached effect on the limestone walls. Join a unique cruise on the Fitzroy River to witness this phenomenon up close. Our guide will explain the gorge's cultural significance and point out wildlife. After lunch, we travel to Broome.

Day 7. Day at Leisure in Broome
Today is yours to savour the tropical climate and relaxed pace of Broome, where Cable Beach stretches for 22 blissful kilometres. Relax on the beach, explore Broome's many attractions or perhaps head off on a day tour to Cape Leveque (own expense).

Day 8. Depart Broome
Farewell Broome and the magnificent Kimberley. We transfer you to the airport for your flight.
