Why you'll love this trip
  • Enjoy dinner by the campfire, sleep under a blanket of Outback stars and trek your way through some of the most magical red dirt landscapes – this is how to see the Kimberley’s, the best way
  • Travel along the famous Gibb River Road, stopping to explore remote gorges, swim in waterholes framed by native boab trees, trek through incredible cave tunnels and wander along rocky riverbeds
  • Explore the famous Wolfe Creek Crater, known as Kandimalal, which is believed to have been created some 120,000 years ago when a meteorite collided with earth during the Pleistocene period
  • Spend extra days camping in El Questro Wilderness Park and the West Kimberly Gorges so you can really immerse yourself in the area with more time to explore and less time on the road
  • Learn from your experienced local Kimberley tour guide and travel in 4WD style that will transport you to even the most remote of locations

Is this trip right for you?
  • This trip is operated and run by our trusted partner, Kimberley Wild Expeditions. You will be travelling with a mixture of both Kimberley Wild Expeditions customers and Intrepid customers. Intrepid has worked very closely with Kimberley Wild Expeditions to ensure that all of our customers will enjoy their time away, and experience all that the region has to offer.
  • This is a dedicated walking adventure in remote terrain, therefore while you don’t need to be a superhero, you do need to be fit, active and sure on your feet to participate in this trip. This itinerary involves some clambering over rocks, wading in water by torchlight, walking in hot weather conditions (sometimes with little shade), walking on rocky creek beds and ascending & descending into gorges.
  • Western Australia is a big state, so travelling significant distances is necessary to fully experience the highlights. You will soon discover that they are well worth the journey.
  • Camping really is the best way to experience the Kimberley - connect with nature and leave less of a footprint. Camping in Kimberley National Parks involves dome tents (single/twinshare), swags with fitted sheets & pillows with pillow cases. On site amenities include hot showers and flush toilets.

Jennie · Traveled August 2024
Long distances through remote and beautiful landscape but also opportunities to stop, take time, and walk into some amazing Gorges, explore cave systems; swim in waterholes; and wonder at the natural environment. At times some challenging hiking striding rock faces and walking on uneven terrain, but as an older couple we were able to complete the walks and there were always other easier options offered.
