Kimberley holidays provide you with the ultimate adventure in the wilderness. A captivating tableau of rugged gorges and surging waterfalls, it’s the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle and get out into nature.
If you’re looking for a true outback experience, take a self-drive tour in The Kimberley along the dusty Gibb River Road. This epic road trip will take you through miles and miles of untamed, arid natural scenery, including the vast El Questro Wilderness Park. Stop off at Tunnel Creek to trek through its ancient cave network, or take to the skies in an exhilarating helicopter tour.
To round off your day in style, climb up to the rocky summit of Kelly’s Knob Lookout where you can enjoy panoramic views and watch the sunset from the highest point in Kununurra.
Kimberley holidays offer a different world
With its fiery crimson cliffs, vast expanses of blue sky, and foaming white waterfalls, Kimberley and Gibb River Road holidays boast outstanding natural beauty that will transport you to another world.
Purnululu National Park’s famous Bungle Bungles are a prime example - a maze of orange and black striped mounds that looms into the sky like giant beehives. The Kimberley is also laced with miles of imposing gorges and cascading waterfalls, concealing serene plunge pools that are perfect for a swim. Some of the most impressive sights include the four-tiered Mitchell Falls, the narrow chambers of Hancock Gorge, and the panoramic view of four colossal intersecting gorges from Oxer Lookout.
Despite its wild nature and remote location, there are plenty of lavish accommodation options throughout the region – perfect for luxury holidays in Kimberley. The area is also home to thriving indigenous communities. Discover more about traditional Aboriginal arts and culture by attending exhibitions and workshops at the Mowanjum Art and Culture Centre, or taking local tours of significant sites.
