Conveniently located just a 7-minute walk from Broome Town Beach and a 5-minute stroll to the town centre, Oaks Broome Hotel serves as an ideal base to explore the stunning natural wonders and adventurous activities that Roebuck Bay has to offer. Important Information: This package is a camping trip—please refer to the packing list in the "Other Important Information" section. The itinerary includes activities like clambering over rocks, wading through water by torchlight, walking on rocky creek beds with uneven footing, and ascending or descending gorges. A reasonable level of fitness, the ability to swim, and being sure-footed are necessary for participation. Information regarding the length of hikes and conditions is available on the relevant itinerary day.

From Day 7 to Day 17, the journey is conducted in a custom-built, 21-seat 4WD truck equipped with a PA system and built-in storage (no trailers involved). These sturdy, remote-area vehicles are designed for comfort, featuring standing room, adjustable air-conditioning vents, reclining seats, map pockets, and footrests. It is important that when booking a 4WD outback adventure in the Kimberley, you understand that the roads we travel on can be heavily corrugated. This is an activity-focused tour, and participation is required. You’ll have the chance to assist with daily tasks, like setting up camp, preparing meals, and cleaning dishes. None of these tasks are demanding, however many hands make light work. Most find that participating adds to the experience, making you feel like more of an explorer than a tourist. A sleeping bag is required for this trip. Guests can either bring their own or purchase one directly from the operator during the tour for $50 in cash.

After the tour, you have the option to keep the sleeping bag or donate it to local Indigenous communities. The sleeping bag can be purchased on Day 7 of this itinerary. Luggage restrictions apply for this tour from Day 7-Day 17 due to limited space in the vehicles. Please pack in a small, soft bag (suitcases are not suitable) with a maximum weight of 15kg. Any excess luggage can be stored at your accommodation in Broome for collection upon return. For the seaplane and overnight stay on the Horizontal Hotel Houseboat (Day 2 & 3 of this itinerary), there is a strict 5kg limit. Full luggage can be left at the hotel in Broome during this portion of the tour.

Please note that the houseboat is not a licensed venue, so any alcohol must be BYO, and it will count towards the 5kg limit. Additional important information will be noted in the itinerary on the relevant itinerary days.

Meals included: None

This morning you will check out of the hotel and at approximately 11:00, a coach will pick you up from Broome and take you to Derby Airport.

Finish the night with some stargazing before retiring to your private, air-conditioned cabin for a peaceful night’s sleep.

What to Pack: Overnight tours have a maximum hand luggage allowance of 5kg per person on the seaplane, with only soft bags permitted. Please bring any personal items or medications you may need during the trip, along with sun protection, a refillable water bottle, camera, swimwear, and towels.

Please note that this must be included in your 5kg hand luggage allowance. Recent safety protocol updates require guests to wear closed-in shoes on the seaplane. Additionally, when filling out your passenger information form, please ensure the spelling of each name is correct, as flights are booked using this information.

If the change cannot be accommodated, the booking will be cancelled.

Hiking Information Tunnel Creek. Class 5 walk – 2 kilometres return
The trail is about 2 kilometres return and you need to be surefooted to negotiate rocky uneven surfaces. In the dark, your torch may light up small bats roosting on cave walls and glowing freshwater crocodile eyes. It can be a little unnerving for some. If you lose your nerve, hang around the spectacular cave entrance and ponder the exploits of outlaw indigenous leader, Jandamarra, who hid around here from the police troopers during the 1890s. Some of the interpretive signage tells the Jandamarra story in vivid detail. Bandilngan (Windjana Gorge) National Park - 700 metres, National park in Wunaamin Miliwundi Ranges You may see fruit bats and corellas roosting in the trees along the water's edge. Take a while to check out the marine life forms fossilised in the limestone of the gorge walls. They're fascinating! The traditional owners of this area are Bunuba Aboriginal people.

Hiking Information Adcock Gorge – 1.2 kilometres Grade 4 Walk.
Adcock Gorge, Wunaamin Miliwundi Ranges Conservation Park. The rocky and uneven walking trail commences from a designated parking area, requiring some boulder clambering along the way. Despite its short distance of just over 600 meters one-way, the gorge surprisingly sees fewer visitors. However, for those who make the stop, Adcock Gorge offers a wealth of natural beauty. The deep pool serves as an inviting spot for a refreshing dip, with steep rock walls providing a striking backdrop. Depending on the timing after the wet season, a waterfall cascades into the pool with varying intensity. Luxuriant patches of ferns adorn shady areas, while water lilies grace a pool further downstream

Galvans Gorge – 2 kilometres
The easy 2 kilometres return trail leads past picturesque lily pools and lush vegetation to a stunning multi-tiered waterfall-fed pool.

Manning Gorge – 6 kilometre Grade 4 Walk.
The 5.6-kilometre return trail starts at the Manning Gorge Campsite. The trailhead is right on the Manning River and you have to cross it, swimming, wading or both (this is 20 metres each way). Accessing the gorge entails an adventurous 3-kilometre (5.8-kilometre return) hike, marked by rock cairns, red discs, and arrows. Starting at the campground, hikers cross Manning Creek before continuing. The trail goes through uneven, rocky terrain getting progressively harder near the end. Most people of reasonable fitness should do the Grade 4 trail. The trail offers scenic views but involves uneven terrain, rock scrambling, and an incline toward the end. Essential items include drinking water and a hat due to the lack of shade.

Travel south along the Great Northern Highway to reach Purnululu National Park, home to the awe-inspiring Bungle Bungles.

This stay allows for a full day to explore the wonders of this extraordinary area, especially the renowned Bungle Bungle domes. These unique orange and black "beehive" formations were shaped by rivers over 20 million years. Surprisingly, they remained largely unknown until the early 1980s and the region was designated as a national park in 1987.

Accommodation In the heart of Purnululu National Park, stay in eco safari tents at the Bungle Bungles Safari Camp. The camp features modern facilities, a covered dining deck with panoramic views and an open-air campfire around which you can relax beneath a sparkling Kimberley night sky: chatting, star-gazing and sharing the adventure with like-minded travellers.

Driving Distances: Approximately 6-7 hours, however the dirt track (Spring Creek Track into the Bungle Bungles) is only about 50 kilometres, so the journey can take approximately two hours. The dirt road is winding and corrugated, which may extend travel time, but the rugged terrain adds to the adventure as you head towards this geological marvel.

Overnight: Bungle Bungles Safari Camp or similar

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

We explore Echidna Chasm, known for its towering Livistonia Palm trees, and take a short walk into the stunning Cathedral Gorge, where towering rocks create a natural amphitheatre.

Cathedral Gorge.

Purnululu National Park Grade: Moderately easy 3-kilometre walk.
Class 4 Walk Terrain: Sandy path, stepping over rock ledges, around waterholes and past eroded potholes to an incredible natural amphitheatre carved out of sandstone. Some steps with a handrail. The walking into Cathedral Gorge is mostly firm and easy underfoot. There are a couple of ladders and a few places where you have to be careful not to slip on the sandy-sloped surface.

Echidna Chasm. – Purnululu National Park Grade: Moderate. Class 4 Walk Terrain
Rocky Creek bed to the base of a spectacular 200-metre-high chasm. Steps to viewing platforms and boulders to climb over. This is a pretty short walk – about 2 kilometres return – but it’s easily a favourite among visitors. Starting from the Echidna Chasm car park you head up what looks like a dry creek bed. Some people find the boulders, ranging from tennis ball size to much larger, difficult to walk on. It can be tough on the ankles so make sure you wear supportive boots. If you don’t like ladders and clambering over big boulders you don’t have to get right to the end.

TOUR GUIDE VS. TOUR LEADER
Tour Guide
Often locals with intimate knowledge of an area, its culture, and history. Their role entails providing commentary, routing the tour, and seeing that people have a good time. They are a licensed, qualified expert who supplies specific information on the history, art, architecture and culture of the city/village/attraction where they are guiding the tour. The guide meets the group at the required place and leaves it at the end of the tour; they do not travel with the group. 

Tour Leader
An experienced person tasked with ensuring the smooth operation of tours, as well as providing practical support to passengers throughout the whole trip. Their role primarily includes assisting with accommodation, transportation between locations, and communication with tour guides at each stop. A tour leader may provide general guidance around a city or village and offer information on the place visited on the bus. However, they are not required to have specific art, architecture, or historical knowledge. They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and, if caught doing so, can be fined. 

Please note: Tour leaders/guides are not a standard inclusion in all travel offers. Tour leaders/guides will only be made available when required to enhance the experience of the destination featured.

There are three seasons in the Kimberley region, with the dry season the best time to visit, average temperatures range from 16°C to 30°C. It generally goes from April/May to September, a period which is followed by the so-called ‘build-up’, where high humidity and temperatures prevail before the ensuing ‘wet’. The Kimberley dry season is the tourist season, when hotels are fuller and booking ahead is recommended. It has the ideal climate for the most part, with several months of generally rain-free, blue skies and pleasant temperatures at night.
