Itinerary Details
Day 1 - Arrive Kununurra + Gourmet Dinner Under the Stars
Arrive into Kununurra from Darwin landing mid afternoon. Freshwater Apartments will collect you from the airport and transfer you to your accommodation.
This afternoon, you will participate in one of the most unique dining experiences the Kimberley has to offer!
This ‘must do’ culinary experience’s secret location is nestled amongst iconic boab trees and rugged red cliff faces – the perfect Kimberley setting for your three-course gourmet camp oven dinner under the stars.
Sit back and soak in the ambiance of an outback sunset as it transforms into a star-lit sky with a complimentary Matsos Ginger Beer in hand.
Hailed by many as the best restaurant in Kununurra – all dishes are created in front of your eyes, over the fire or in camp ovens. Each dish has an emphasis on flavour and freshness using a combination of locally sourced produce and bush tucker.
Today your adventure begins with a scenic flight departing Kununurra passing over Lake Argyle, the Ord River Irrigation Area, Carr Boyd and Osmand Ranges, Ord and Bow Rivers and Bungle Bungle Range. Your plane will land at the remote and unsealed Bellburn Airstrip in Purnululu National Park where you will be met by your experienced guide.
From here you will be driven in an air-conditioned 4WD vehicle to the beginning of your guided walk. Your guide will lead you on a moderate 3km walk throughout the famous eroded towers and beehive-shaped domes on the Domes Walk. Head towards Cathedral Gorge, where you can walk alongside towering cliffs which create phenomenal natural acoustics within the Gorge. Refuel with a tasty picnic lunch after a morning of exploring. You will then head out along the rocky creek bed of Piccaninny Creek, which only flows during periods of high rainfall.
On return to Bellburn Airstrip you will join HeliSpirit and experience an incredible 30 minute scenic helicopter flight over the Bungles! This will be a highlight of your Kimberley adventure!
After a day of exploring, you will take a scenic fixed wing flight back to Kununurra landing approximately 5.00pm.
** Morning tea, lunch & afternoon tea provided
Day 3 - Emma Gorge & El Questro
You will be collected at 6.30 this morning from your accommodation. Guided by an El Questro ranger you day begins with a guided hike into Emma Gorge. Renowned as one of the most spectacular gorges of The Kimberley, it is characterised by massive scree slopes and cliff face escarpments reaching up to 120m on both sides of the trail. At the end you will be rewarded with a swim in the waterhole at the base of a towering 65 metre chasm graced by a droplet waterfall. Terrain is uneven and rocky with some parts offering little shade. Return to the resort for a quick morning tea before heading off to Zebedee thermal springs where the tour will have exclusive access.
Following this, enjoy a delicious Beef or Barramundi lunch at the station (dietary requirements catered for).
The afternoon will be spent boating the Chamberlain Gorge. Only accessible by boat, this 3 km fresh waterhole is bound by diverse flora and fauna and belittled by a towering escarpment. Enjoy sparkling wine and fresh fruit as you take in the breathtaking scenery. Ask your Ranger about the cheeky Archerfish and Barramundi you can feed. Upon conclusion your return transfer will deliver you back to your accommodation at 6.30pm.
** Morning tea, lunch & afternoon tea included
NOTE: The hike into Emma Gorge is approximately 1 hour each way. The terrain is uneven and rocky with some parts offering little shade. If mobility does not allow this hike you are welcome to use the facilities at Emma Gorge Resort for this part of the tour.
Day 4 - Ord River and Lake Argyle
Today you’ll explore Kununurra’s most iconic waterways – the upper Ord River and Lake Argyle.
Leaving early in the morning for wonderful reflections and bird-watching, take in your serene surroundings as you drift along the water. Weather and track access permitting, walk into swimming holes and waterfalls along the riverbank which only the locals have seen.
After lunch, you’ll be transferred to Lake Argyle by coach before boarding your sunset cruise.
On the cruise see rock wallabies, crocodiles, wallaroos (euros) and birdlife, plus a catfish feeding frenzy and the amazing spitting archer fish. Take in the untamed landscape of the magnificent Carr Boyd Ranges along the inaccessible North Western shoreline as you cruise through some of Lake Argyle’s 90 islands and inlets. While taking a refreshing swim (if you wish), enjoy a complimentary drink while watching the Kimberley sun go down on yet another perfect day in paradise.
Day 5 - Depart Kununurra
Today, depart Kununurra with memories that will last a lifetime, Kimberley bucket list – DONE!
If you have the morning to spare, have a look around the Kununurra township at the many Art galleries, Diamond Shops and enjoy a coffee and cake at one of the cafes.
