Full Itinerary
Discover the dramatic gorges, wildlife retreats and ancient cave passages of the rugged western Kimberley. With an overnight stay by the Fitzroy River - in safari cabins, motel rooms or tents - this trip offers a comfortable, adventurous way to experience the grandeur of Windjana and Geikie Gorges and explore historical Tunnel Creek.       

Day 1: Geikie Gorge       
Our journey into Kimberley gorge country takes us through the savannah, breaking for morning tea near the mighty Fitzroy River and to see a thousand year old boab tree. On reaching the historic town of Fitzroy Crossing, we discover the ancient Napier Range and magnificent Geikie Gorge. Nature carved this spectacular 30m deep gorge between the Geikie and Oscar Ranges during the Devonian geological period. The best way to experience the scenery and abundant wildlife of this natural wonder is cruise the waters of the Fitzroy River as they wind their way past the colourful gorge cliffs, where the swirling floods of the Wet Season has left its bleached mark. 

Towards sunset, settle in for an evening under the Kimberley night sky - relax as your guide prepares a campfire barbeque  before retiring to your choice* of accommodation: camping, Safari Cabin (with ensuite) or Motel Room.
*This choice is made at the time of booking.     

Day 2: Windjana Gorge & Tunnel Creek       
After breakfast it is a 4WD route to Tunnel Creek, a 750-metre cave system in an ancient Devionian reef. Here, we explore secret caves and a variety of unusual wildlife. We also hear of the legend of Jandamarra, an Aboriginal freedom fighter who used the Tunnel as a hideout in the late 1800's. A refreshing swim in an idyllic waterhole is a highlight of the day.

Then it's off to Windjana Gorge for a delicious lunch and to search for freshwater crocodiles, local birdlife and indigenous bushtucker in the stunning natural beauty of this oasis of the outback. Travelling back through Kimberley cattle country, we pause in Derby to see the infamous 'Boab Prison Tree', a relic of some cultural sensitivity due to its alleged use as a prison for local Aboriginals during the era of Kimberley pioneers. Arrive back in Broome at approximately 6:30pm.
