PLEASE NOTE: Due to COVID-19 restrictions and related seasonal closures, some elements of this itinerary may not be available at time of travel. In particular all Indigenous communities are currently closed to travellers. This may result in substitute activities and/or rerouting as required. The situation is evolving daily, but please be prepared for possible changes to your Kimberley adventure if necessary.
Departures are subject to weather conditions and road closures: usually only a concern for tours in April/October.
Accommodation upgrades are subject to availability.
Dinner on Night 4 is not included as the Fitzroy River Lodge has a great restaurant – allow approx AUD $35pp for a meal. (Allow a little more if you want a beer or glass of wine.)
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. Refer to the Fitness rating in The Facts.
The optional Single Supplement on Camping Plus (5DBB1) does not include the Bungle Bungles stay; due to capacity constraints single travellers may have to twinshare with another traveller of the same gender – this is a rare occurrence.
It is important that you appreciate the Kimberley Wild experience and the remote, vast nature of the areas through which we travel.
Expect some early morning starts! It is nicer to walk in the cooler morning and travel in the vehicle during the heat of the day.
Travel Insurance is compulsory for all travellers on all tours and details must be presented to tour guide before departure.
Are you over 70 years old? Due to the remote location and challenging nature of our extended camping tours, it is essential for older travellers to review and sign our Medical Form to ensure you can participate fully in the itinerary.
This itinerary involves some clambering over rocks, wading in water by torchlight, walking on rocky creek beds that are unstable underfoot and ascending/descending into gorges. A reasonable level of fitness and being sure on your feet is required to participate.
The Kimberley has a Wet Season (DEC to MAR) and a Dry Season (APR to NOV). During ‘the Wet’ most 4WD roads and National Parks are closed.
Our tours operate during ‘the Dry’, when it can get surprisingly cold overnight, depending on where you are – in Broome it can get down to 12ºC, while in Purnululu, it can fall as low as 5ºC! During the day, we usually enjoy 28 to 30ºC. Note: in September and October, as ‘the Wet’ approaches, temperatures increase accordingly and it can be very hot during the day
