Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Explore the Tunnel Creek cave system and learn about Jandamarra – a First Nations freedom fighter who used the caves to evade police in the late 1800s.
Take a guided walk through the Wunaamin Miliwundi Ranges Conservation Park to Manning Gorge, where you can swim under a waterfall and see ancient First Nations rock art.
Spend two nights under the stars in your private permanent tented camp in Purnululu National Park, with views of the Bungle Bungles.
Go inside Cathedral Gorge and discover the natural amphitheatre of red rock, hollowed out over millions of years to create this massive acoustic wonder.
Visit Lake Argyle – one of the largest man-made lakes in the southern hemisphere. Learn how the lake transformed this dry region into an agricultural oasis and swim in the infinity pool at Lake Argyle camp.
Is this trip right for you?
This is a camping trip. Simple facilities and lack of emphasis on creature comforts make this an authentic experience of the Australian outback. A Single Supplement is not available on the default version of this trip. As a single traveller you will have a tent to yourself on camping nights, however in the permanent tented camps you will be paired up with another single traveller of the same gender. An accommodation upgrade (Camping Plus) for nights 4, 5, 6, 7 & 10 is available upon request and subject to availability at an additional cost. Camping Plus can also be booked with the option for a single supplement. Please see the accommodation section of your trip notes or speak to your travel agent for more details.
On some days of the trip, you’ll spend several hours driving through very sparse areas of Australia. Sit back and enjoy landscapes that you would miss in any other form of travel. Extra space can be tight, and conditions may feel a little cramped. There will be some very early mornings.
This itinerary involves some clambering over rocks, wading in water by torchlight, walking on rocky creek beds and ascending/descending into gorges. A reasonable level of fitness and being sure on your feet is necessary to participate.

Important notes
START & END TIME
This trip starts in Broome with an early pick-up at 7:00am on day 1 at our default pick-up location (Kimberley Travellers Lodge), unless you request an alternative pick-up location at least 14 days prior to departure. The trip finishes in the late afternoon or early evening on the last day. 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. Please bring your own sleeping bag or purchase one from us in advance. A pillow, pillowcase, bottom sheet are always provided.
SINGLE TRAVELLERS & ACCOMMODATION UPGRADE
A Single Supplement is not available on the default version of this trip. You will be paired up with another single traveller of the same gender. An accommodation upgrade (Camping Plus) for nights 4, 5, 6, 7 & 10 is available upon request and subject to availability at an additional cost. Camping Plus can also be booked with the option for a single supplement. Please see the accommodation section of your trip notes or speak to your travel agent for more details.
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 or 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.

We chose to do the 11 day Kimberly tour. This was amazing as it gave us the highlights of this vast area. Our leader Tex and guide Summer were fantastic. We were very lucky with our fellow travelers as well.

Fantastic trip. Jake and Meg our guides had a wealth of knowledge and passion for the culture and area. We felt that we went to and did things that other tours probably wouldn’t do. Food was brilliant and so much more than expected. Highly recommended
