Full Itinerary
Explore the Kimberley wilderness, from the sea to the savannah. Roam remote pristine beaches, visit local indigenous communities, witness the tidal flows of King Sound and learn the secrets of the Bardi saltwater people before heading inland to immerse yourself in gorge country: walk to rugged gorges, bathe in waterfalls and lillie-laden pools, wade through the watery caverns of Tunnel Creek, encounter unusual wildlife and sleep under a canopy of Kimberley stars. This trip offers the chance to get close to nature in one of Australia's last wild frontiers.       

Day 1: Kelk Creek & Cape Leveque       
The Dampier Peninsula is an extraordinary blend of pristine beaches and dramatic coastlines, rich in traditional Aboriginal culture and maritime explorer history. Our first stop is the Beagle Bay Aboriginal Community, home of the Beagle Bay Church with its glimmering pearl shell altar, for morning tea. Further north, we visit the Kelk Creek Bush Retreat, where our Aboriginal guide and her family introduce us to their traditional Bardi ‘saltwater country’. A leisurely guided bushwalk offers an in-depth insight into their indigenous lifestyle and culture while the freshly made damper and billy tea at the end of the walk is well worth the wait!

Later, after a delicious lunch, we travel to beautiful Cape Leveque to set up camp right on the edge of the Indian Ocean. A spectacular Kimberley sunset is a great way to end the day before our famous Kimberley BBQ under the stars.
      
Day 2: Cape Leveque       
The day at Cape Leveque is yours to enjoy as you please. You may like to join our guide on a snorkelling or fishing adventure (included), or take up one of the many optional extras on offer including embarking on an indigenous sea kayaking adventure, hiring a dinghy or splurging on a scenic flight across the archipelago and horizontal falls. Alternatively you may prefer to spend your time simply enjoying the pristine beaches and rugged red coastline for which Cape Leveque is famous. Whether you like swimming, snorkelling, sunbathing or long walks along the beach, Cape Leveque is a great way to relax away a day.       

Day 3: One Arm Point & Lombadina       
After breakfast we journey to the One Arm Point Community perched on the tip of the Dampier Peninsula. From here we can view the spectacular Buccaneer Archipelago and witness the huge tidal flows of the Kimberley, the second biggest in the world. We visit the Community’s aquaculture hatchery, complete with barramundi, pearl and trochus shell. Travelling on, we enjoy lunch in the laid-back Lombadina Community, a beautiful and welcoming community, which is home to a local craft shop and interesting bush timber church. Driving back through the dusk, keep an eye out for wildlife, before arriving back in Broome at approximately 6.30pm.       

Day 4: Broome       
The day is free to explore Broome at your leisure. You may wish to join A Taste of Broome foodie adventure, head off sea kayaking, check out a pearl farm or just kick back on beautiful Cable Beach.        

Day 5: Tunnel Creek       
Departing Broome, our experience in the Kimberley Gorges begins with a visit to the renowned 'Boab Prison Tree' in Derby, before travelling along the famous Gibb River Road to the ancient Napier Ranges. Tunnel Creek is a dramatic cave system carved through a 350 million year old Devonian reef system. Here, we discover secret caves and a large variety of wildlife before enjoying a swim in an idyllic waterhole. We also hear of the legend of Jandamarra, an Aboriginal freedom fighter who used the Tunnel as a hideout in the late 1800's. Towards sunset, we head to our Windjana camp as the guide prepares a delicious BBQ dinner under a canopy of Kimberley stars.       

Day 6: Windjana Gorge & Mt Barnett       
After breakfast we walk deep into the heart of majestic Windjana Gorge. In this oasis of the outback we search for freshwater crocodiles, bird life and indigenous bushtucker. Travelling further up the Gibb River Road, we pause at Imintji Aboriginal Community for lunch. Freshen up with an afternoon swim amongst the water lilies at Galvans Gorge, a large pool surrounded by lush remnant rainforest. Tonight we camp and enjoy another great meal by a shady Kimberley billabong on Mount Barnett Cattle Station.        

Day 7: Manning Falls & Silent Grove       
A morning trek into Manning Falls offers the chance to swim in deep clear pools amid a stunning natural landscape. Relax, explore wandering streams, uncover local wildlife and take a dip in the waterfall pools. In the afternoon, we travel west to the tranquil waterhole of Adcock Gorge before a night spent at the Silent Grove campsite in the shadows of the King Leopold Ranges.       

Day 8: Bell Gorge & Broome       
Our last morning is devoted to exploring Bell Gorge, a hidden highlight of the West Kimberley. This idyllic retreat, considered amongst the most beautiful in the area, boasts cascading waterfalls and crystal clear pools formed over millions of years - an easy place to while away a few hours! Returning through Kimberley cattle country, we arrive back in Broome at approximately 6:30pm.
