Arrive in Broome
Broome International Airport to your hotel in Broome, then Cable Beach
- Welcome dinner
- Nuit : Broome
- Environ 15 min de route
Fly into Broome (BME), which sits almost in town, and a driver meets you in the arrivals hall for the few minutes to our hotel. Broome is Rubibi to the Yawuru people, and it is a pearling town before it is a beach town: Chinatown's corrugated-iron shopfronts and the cemeteries of Japanese, Malay and Koepanger divers tell that story, and we walk it tomorrow.
Après-midi
The afternoon is free to rest after the flight or swim. At 4:30 pm your See Sight Tours guide meets the group for a briefing on the road ahead: the 4WD, the gorges, the river crossings and the simple nights on the Gibb.
Soir
Then we drive out to Cable Beach, reportedly more than 20 km of white sand facing west, and watch the sun go down over the Indian Ocean before a welcome dinner together. On some full-moon evenings in the dry season we can add the Staircase to the Moon at Roebuck Bay; dates are checked at quoting.
Compris
- Pick-up at Broome International Airport (BME)
- Welcome briefing with your guide at 4:30 pm
- Sunset at Cable Beach
- Welcome dinner in Broome
Activités en option
- Staircase to the Moon at Roebuck Bay, on some full-moon evenings in the dry season (dates checked at quoting)
Temps libre : Free until the 4:30 pm briefing
Activité : Land by early afternoon to settle in; later arrivals are met and join the group at dinner.
Broome's pearling story and camels at sunset
Broome: the Historical Museum, Chinatown, the Japanese Cemetery and Gantheaume Point, then Cable Beach
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Broome
- Environ 45 min de route
Matin
A slow morning in the town pearls built. We start at the Broome Historical Museum, where the galleries cover the pearling luggers, the hard-hat divers who came from Japan, Malaya and Timor, and the Japanese air raid of 3 March 1942, which is reported to have destroyed the flying boats at anchor in Roebuck Bay. Then a walk through Chinatown and down to Streeter's Jetty, and the short drive to the Japanese Cemetery, where the headstones of many divers face the bay.
Après-midi
Lunch is a sit-down meal in Chinatown. The afternoon is yours: the pool, the shops for pearls, or the optional Willie Creek pearl farm. In the late afternoon we stop at Gantheaume Point, where red pindan cliffs meet turquoise water, then ride camels along Cable Beach as the sun sets, about an hour on the sand.
Soir
Dinner is wherever you like, and opening hours for the museum and the camel ride are confirmed at quoting.
Compris
- Broome Historical Museum, entry included
- Chinatown and Streeter's Jetty walk with your guide
- Japanese Cemetery
- Sit-down lunch in Chinatown
- Gantheaume Point
- Sunset camel ride on Cable Beach
Activités en option
- Willie Creek pearl farm tour (price in the written quote)
- Horizontal Falls seaplane trip from Broome (price in the written quote)
Option plus facile : Watch the sunset from the sand or a beach cafe instead of riding the camels.
Temps libre : Afternoon and evening free in Broome
Activité : Easy walking in town. Camel riders mount and dismount with the animal kneeling; the ride is gentle but has a lurch at each end.
To Derby and the King Sound tides
Broome to Willare and the Fitzroy River on the Great Northern Highway, then Derby, the Boab Prison Tree and Mowanjum
- Petit-déjeuner, repas du midi et repas du soir
- Nuit : Derby
- Environ 3 h de route
We leave Broome at 8:30 am on sealed highway through pindan scrub and boab country, crossing the wide Fitzroy River at Willare, and reach Derby in under three hours. Just south of town is the Boab Prison Tree, a huge hollow boab said to have held Aboriginal prisoners being walked to Derby in the 1890s; your guide tells its story plainly.
Après-midi
After lunch in Derby we visit the Mowanjum Art and Culture Centre, run by Aboriginal artists of the region, where Wandjina paintings and the artists' work can be seen, subject to the centre's opening days.
Soir
Late in the afternoon is free, and at sunset we walk out on the Derby wharf. King Sound has some of the biggest tides in Australia, so the mud flats below can look very different between morning and evening. Mowanjum opening days are confirmed at quoting. Dinner is together in Derby.
Compris
- Boab Prison Tree
- Lunch in Derby
- Mowanjum Art and Culture Centre
- Sunset on the Derby wharf
- Dinner in Derby
Activités en option
- Horizontal Falls seaplane trip from Derby (price in the written quote)
Temps libre : Late afternoon free in Derby
Activité : About 2.75 hours of driving on sealed road with a coffee stop. Easy walking only.
Windjana Gorge and onto the Gibb
Derby on the Gibb River Road to Windjana Gorge, then east into the ranges of Wunaamin Conservation Park near Bell Gorge
- Petit-déjeuner, repas du midi et repas du soir
- Nuit : Bell Gorge (Gibb River Road)
- Environ 4.5 h de route
Today the tar ends. We leave Derby at 7:30 am, head east on the Gibb River Road and turn south onto dirt for Bandiln͟gan (Windjana Gorge) National Park, which DBCA says is open between May and November, reaching the gorge by about 9:30 am, before the heat settles on the gorge floor. The Lennard River has cut through the Napier Range here, a limestone reef from an ancient sea, said to be hundreds of millions of years old, with fossils in the walls. We walk the gorge trail, listed by DBCA as 1.9 km return (confirmed again before the season), past freshwater crocodiles where freshwater crocodiles live and nobody swims, and your guide tells the story of Jandamarra, the Bunuba man who is said to have fought the police from these ranges in the late 1800s.
Après-midi
Lunch is a picnic in the shade at the gorge. Then we drive back to the Gibb and east into the ranges of Wunaamin Conservation Park, which some maps still label King Leopold Ranges, arriving at our camp in the late afternoon.
Soir
Tonight and tomorrow we plan a fixed safari tent or a station stay, simple but with a real bed. Dinner is at camp.
Compris
- Park entry for Bandiln͟gan (Windjana Gorge) National Park
- Windjana Gorge walk with your guide
- Picnic lunch at Windjana Gorge
- Dinner at camp
Option plus facile : Walk the first few hundred metres into Windjana to see the crocodiles and the reef walls, then wait in the shade.
Option plus active : Walk the full length of the trail open on the day with your guide, and stay longer at the fossil walls.
Activité : About 4 to 4.5 hours of driving, most of it on unsealed road, to be confirmed with the 4WD partner, split by the walk and the picnic lunch at Windjana. Tunnel Creek is not on this trip.
Bell Gorge early, then a free afternoon
Bell Gorge (Dalmanyi) in Wunaamin Conservation Park and back to camp
- Petit-déjeuner, repas du midi et repas du soir
- Nuit : Bell Gorge (Gibb River Road)
- Environ 45 min de route
Matin
We drive the corrugated side road to Bell Gorge after an early breakfast, 4WD country per DBCA, to have the falls before the day traffic arrives from the camps along the Gibb. Bell Gorge, Dalmanyi, is a stepped waterfall dropping into a deep pool in red rock, and, when the falls are flowing and depending on the season, it is the swim people come back for. The walk in is over rocks, with a creek to cross above the falls, then a scramble down to the main pool. Swim, sit on the warm ledges, or follow the creek up to the quieter top pools with your guide.
Après-midi
We are back at camp for lunch, and the afternoon is free: rest in the shade, read, or walk the track near camp. No packing today.
Soir
In the evening your guide lights a fire and we eat together under a sky with no town lights for a long way in any direction.
Compris
- Bell Gorge (Dalmanyi) walk and swim with your guide
- Park entry for Wunaamin Conservation Park
- Lunch and dinner at camp
Option plus facile : Stop at the top pools above the falls, a short flat walk, and skip the scramble down to the main pool.
Option plus active : Climb down to the main pool below the falls and swim across to the waterfall.
Temps libre : Afternoon free at camp
Activité : Uneven rock with a creek crossing on stones. Water shoes help.
Galvans and Manning gorges
Bell Gorge base east on the Gibb River Road to Galvans Gorge and Mount Barnett for Manning Gorge
- Petit-déjeuner, repas du midi et repas du soir
- Nuit : Mount Barnett (Gibb River Road)
- Environ 2 h de route
Matin
East on the Gibb this morning, through the ranges and across wide grassland dotted with boabs. Our first stop is Galvans Gorge, a short walk from the road to a pool and, when it is flowing, a waterfall, a boab growing out of the rock and a Wandjina painting on the wall beside the water.
Après-midi
Lunch is at Mount Barnett, where Manning Gorge access would be arranged (fee as published, confirmed at quoting). In the early afternoon we cross the Manning River at the start of the trail, by a method that depends on the season, and walk to the falls and a long, deep pool under red cliffs.
Soir
We swim, rest and walk back in the cooler late afternoon to tonight's simple station stay or safari tent nearby. Dinner is together.
Compris
- Galvans Gorge walk and swim
- Lunch at Mount Barnett
- Manning Gorge access fee
- Manning Gorge walk to the falls with your guide
- Dinner where we stay
Option plus facile : Swim at Galvans Gorge and at the river crossing at Mount Barnett, and skip the Manning Gorge walk.
Option plus active : Climb above Manning Falls with your guide for the view over the gorge.
Activité : Manning Gorge is a long walk over rock and sand in the heat, starting with a river crossing; bring a dry bag. Galvans is short.
The long middle of the Gibb to El Questro
Mount Barnett east on the Gibb River Road, across the Pentecost River, to El Questro and Emma Gorge
- Petit-déjeuner, repas du midi et repas du soir
- Nuit : El Questro (Emma Gorge)
- Environ 6 h de route
This is the one long day, about 5 to 6 hours of driving on corrugated dirt, because we have not planned an overnight between the central gorges and El Questro. We break it every hour or so.
Après-midi
The road crosses open station country and creeks, and lunch is at a station or stop along the way, to be confirmed. In the afternoon the Cockburn Range rises ahead, a long wall of red cliffs, and we stop at the lookout over the Pentecost River before fording it. Main Roads WA calls the Pentecost the major river crossing on the Gibb, warns that levels can rise quickly and that there may be a crocodile or two, and El Questro reports saltwater crocodiles there, so nobody gets out in the water. We reach El Questro Wilderness Park in the late afternoon and settle into a planned fixed safari tent or station room at El Questro (Emma Gorge area), confirmed at quoting, under the cliffs.
Soir
Dinner is at El Questro, and the evening is quiet.
Compris
- Lunch on the Gibb River Road
- Pentecost River lookout and the river crossing below the Cockburn Range
- El Questro visitor permit
- Dinner at El Questro
Temps libre : Evening free at Emma Gorge
Activité : About 5 to 6 hours of driving on unsealed road, broken by stops about every hour and a sit-down lunch.
Zebedee Springs, Emma Gorge and on to Kununurra
El Questro: Zebedee Springs and Emma Gorge, then the Great Northern Highway to Kununurra
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Kununurra
- Environ 2 h de route
Zebedee Springs is open to the public in the mornings; El Questro publishes 8am to 12pm, and we confirm the hours and any seasonal limits for your dates. It is a chain of warm pools under palms, reached on a short walk. After a soak we walk into Emma Gorge, which El Questro calls a challenging, partly shaded walk of about an hour, with rock hopping along the creek to a large waterhole.
Après-midi
Lunch is back at El Questro. Then we leave the dirt behind for the last time, joining the sealed Great Northern Highway for about an hour and a quarter to Kununurra, the town on the Ord River at the eastern edge of the Kimberley.
Soir
The afternoon and evening are free: a cafe, a shower that lasts, laundry, and dinner wherever you like.
Compris
- Zebedee Springs in the morning
- Emma Gorge walk and swim with your guide
- Lunch at El Questro
Activités en option
- Chamberlain Gorge cruise at El Questro (El Questro lists it as about 90 minutes; price shown in the quote)
- Ord River cruise from Kununurra (price shown in the quote)
Option plus facile : Stay at Zebedee Springs longer and skip Emma Gorge, or walk only the first flat section of the Emma Gorge track.
Temps libre : Afternoon and evening free in Kununurra
Activité : Emma Gorge is rocky with some scrambling; El Questro describes it as about an hour's walk, so allow 2 to 3 hours with the swim.
The Bungle Bungles from the air, Lake Argyle at sunset
Kununurra airport for the scenic flight over Purnululu National Park, then Lake Argyle and back to Kununurra
- Petit-déjeuner, repas du midi et repas du soir
- Nuit : Kununurra
- Environ 2.5 h de route
DBCA puts Purnululu National Park 304 km from Kununurra by road, the last 53 km a high-clearance 4WD track taking 1.5 to 3 hours, so we plan to see it from a light aircraft.
Matin
The morning scenic flight leaves from Kununurra, with the route and length set by the operator and confirmed at quoting, and shows the Bungle Bungle Range, a World Heritage site where the sandstone domes are striped orange and black by mineral and microbial banding, as commonly described. Back on the ground, we drive about an hour south to Lake Argyle, the reservoir made when the Ord River was dammed.
Après-midi
Lunch looks over the water, then there is free time in the heat of the day.
Soir
In the late afternoon we board a cruise on the lake for the islands and the sunset over the ranges, operator and times to be confirmed. Dinner is back in Kununurra.
Compris
- Scenic flight over the Bungle Bungle Range in Purnululu National Park (length confirmed at quoting)
- Lunch at Lake Argyle
- Sunset cruise on Lake Argyle
- Dinner in Kununurra
Option plus facile : Stay ashore at Lake Argyle during the cruise and watch the sunset from the lookout above the dam wall.
Temps libre : Middle of the day free at Lake Argyle
Activité : Light aircraft seats are usually allocated by weight, so expect to be asked your weight at quoting. The drive back from Lake Argyle, about 70 km on sealed road, is after dark.
Mirima at first light and fly out
Kununurra to Mirima National Park, then Kununurra airport
- Petit-déjeuner
- Environ 18 min de route
Matin
One last walk at first light. Mirima National Park sits on the edge of Kununurra, and its layered sandstone ridges and gullies, often called the mini Bungle Bungles, can glow red in the low sun. We walk the short lookout trails with your guide, with a chance of rock wallabies in the cracks of the rock. This is Miriwoong country, and your guide tells what is shared publicly of its story. Breakfast is back at the hotel, with time to pack. Then we drive you to Kununurra airport, a few minutes from town, for your flight. Onward flight links are checked at quoting. Your guide sees you to the terminal and checks your flight, or drops you at a hotel in town if you are staying on.
Compris
- Mirima National Park walk at first light
- Drop-off at Kununurra airport (KNX) or your Kununurra hotel
Option plus facile : Stay at the foot of the Lookout Trail and watch the light on the rock.
Activité : Book a flight leaving after about 12:30 pm, or stay on in Kununurra.

Faune et météo : We plan only the dry season, May to September: usually hot, dry days with little rain, and cooler nights on the Gibb, so bring a warm layer. Main Roads WA says the best time to travel is early in the dry season, when rivers and waterfalls may still be flowing. Freshwater crocodiles bask at Windjana Gorge, where DBCA says there is no swimming. Saltwater crocodiles are present in the Pentecost and Chamberlain rivers, so no swimming or fishing there. Swimming depends on park and station rules and conditions on the day; crocodiles can occur in Kimberley waterways. Boab trees line much of the road; wallabies and birds are sometimes seen at dusk.

Questions
What would the price include?
The proposed inclusions are nine nights' accommodation, airport transfers, a 4WD vehicle with a licensed driver, a See Sight Tours guide, the Bungle Bungle scenic flight, the Lake Argyle sunset cruise, the Cable Beach camel ride, the El Questro permit, park entry and gorge fees, 9 breakfasts, 8 lunches and 7 dinners. Flights to Broome and from Kununurra are not. The written quote sets the final price, taxes and inclusions. Tell us dietary needs in your enquiry; we ask each kitchen once suppliers are confirmed.
Where would we sleep on the Gibb River Road?
We plan simple station rooms or fixed safari tents with real beds, not swags or tents you pitch. Which properties, and which have their own bathroom, is confirmed at quoting. Broome, Derby and Kununurra are planned as hotels with your own bathroom.
How rough is the Gibb River Road?
Main Roads WA describes it as 647 km, mainly unsealed, with about 470 km unsealed between the Lennard and Pentecost rivers, graded several times a year, and recommends a high-clearance 4WD. The Pentecost is its major river crossing. That is why we plan a purpose-built 4WD touring vehicle with a licensed driver. Most days are about four hours or less; day 7 is about five to six, with stops along the way.
How big is the group?
The small-group trip is planned for 7 to 12 guests in one 4WD, so everyone hears the guide at the gorges and sits at one table at dinner. Departures and minimum numbers are not set yet.
Who would lead the trip?
A See Sight Tours guide would travel with you from Broome to Kununurra, with a separate licensed driver for the road. Guide and driver are named at quoting, and we require remote-area first aid and a satellite phone for the trip.
How fit do I need to be?
Reasonably fit and sure on your feet. Gorge walks are about 1 to 6 km return over boulders and creek crossings in the heat, and Emma Gorge involves rock hopping. Each gorge day has an easier choice, every swim is optional, and you can wait in the shade at any walk.
I am travelling solo. Do I pay a single supplement?
Only if you want a room or tent of your own, and the quote shows the amount; single tents on the Gibb may be limited, so ask early. If you are happy to share, we can try to pair you with another solo traveller of the same gender.
When can the Gibb River Road be driven?
Main Roads WA says it is typically open between May and November and often closed in the wet season, December to April, with no fixed opening date; it reopens once crossings are low and damage is repaired. DBCA lists Windjana as open May to November. El Questro has said it reopens in early April 2027. We plan only May to September, and confirm opening for your dates at quoting. Main Roads WA says early in the dry season is best for flowing waterfalls.
Do we go into the Bungle Bungles?
We plan to fly over them. DBCA puts Purnululu 304 km from Kununurra by road, the last 53 km a high-clearance 4WD track that takes 1.5 to 3 hours, so driving in adds extra days. The scenic flight, with operator and length confirmed at quoting, shows the striped domes. A private trip could add a night in the park, subject to availability.
Can I swim in the gorges with crocodiles around?
El Questro reports saltwater crocodiles in the Pentecost and Chamberlain rivers, so we would not swim or fish there. Bell, Galvans and Manning swimming depends on conditions and rules on the day. DBCA says freshwater crocodiles bask at Windjana and there is no swimming there. Your guide follows park signs, and every swim is optional.
Can we travel privately or on our own dates?
Yes. Besides the small group, a private trip for your party only, on a date you choose, can be quoted, as can independent travel on your own dates. Tell us your plans in the enquiry.
Does an enquiry commit me to anything?
No. Send an enquiry with your dates and group size; it takes no payment and does not confirm a booking. We reply with a written quote naming the operator, stays, price, taxes, inclusions and terms. Nothing is booked until you accept it. Entry rules depend on your passport; Canadians need an ETA, per the Government of Canada.
