This morning we stop to explore Kununurra, the town of the Ord River Scheme and the scenic Hidden Valley National Park. Then sit back and admire the awesome views of the Carr Boyd and Durack Ranges as we head to Turkey Creek. It’s now time to buckle up and hold on for the challenging 4WD trip into the Bungle Bungle (Purnululu) National Park for sunset over the Osmond Ranges and our overnight bush camp. (BLD)

Day 3 - Bungle Bungles
We spend a full day exploring the unusual rock formations of the Bungle Bungle Ranges. We visit the unique Frog Hole, the breathtaking Echidna Chasm and the magnificent Cathedral Gorge, with optional scenic helicopter flight (at own expense) over the Bungles. We return to our camp to watch another amazing sunset. (BLD)

Day 4 - Bungle Bungles to Parry Farm
Leaving the Bungle Bungles, we take a short break at Turkey Creek before travelling onto Wyndham and the Five Rivers Lookout. Overnight camp at Diggers Rest Cattle Station or the bird watchers paradise of Parry Farm depending on the time of year. (BLD)

Day 5 - Gibb River Road & Gorges
We tackle the punishing Gibb River Road stopping along the way to visit the famous El Questro Station before enjoying a walk in the beautiful Cockburn Range and a swim under the waterfall in Emma Gorge. We cross the Pentecost River and travel through the spectacular ranges with time for a swim at Jack’s Waterhole, before heading for our overnight bush camp (no facilities). (BLD)

Day 6 - Gibb River Road & Gorges
A day of swimming and hiking as we explore some of the striking gorges - maybe Barnett, Manning, Galvins or Adcock depending on the time of year. Overnight bush camp. (BLD)

Day 7 - King Leopold Range to Windjana Gorge
We enjoy an early hike and swim before driving through the rugged King Leopold Range to Windjana Gorge. After lunch, we wade through the icy waters of Tunnel Creek to explore the incredible limestone formations. Overnight camp at Windjana Gorge. (BLD)

Day 8 - Windjana to Broome
We view the abundant wildlife of Windjana Gorge including freshwater crocodiles and explore the 350 million year old fossilised reef wall rising 90 metres above the riverbed. We call in at Derby, visiting the famous Boab Prison Tree before continuing on to Broome for sunset on beautiful Cable Beach. (BL)

ATTENTION: The Darwin <> Broome 8 Day 4WD Safari has unique temperature, activity, and operational considerations not experienced elsewhere in Australia. The Kimberley is one of the most isolated, remote places in the world. It doesn't have the usual comforts and options of our other touring areas. We think this lack of conveniences is the REAL reason to visit this area and is what makes it so special and memorable for a lifetime.

This tour is suitable only for FIT AND ACTIVE people.
Most people traveling on this trip are aged 18-50. It is not suitable for children.

Irrespective of whether you have answered yes to all the boxes, Adventure Tours Australia reserves the right to assess your fitness capability on or before the first day of travel.
