A salt wind from the Indian Ocean stills as the coach pulls away from Broome at first light. Dirt and red dust climb into the air behind you while the Napier Range looms ahead, its limestone cliffs already warming as the sun strikes them. Over the next two weeks the landscape will change constantly — shallow rivers daring you to swim, slot gorges that funnel light into narrow bands, and the beehive domes of the Bungle Bungle rising like sculpted orange and grey islands.

The region preserves ancient geological features from a Devonian reef system and has been inhabited by Aboriginal peoples for millennia; many gorges contain rock art and cultural sites.
Conservation
This is fragile country—stick to trails, avoid touching rock art, carry out rubbish, and follow guide instructions to limit impacts on ecosystems and sacred places.

Timing is everything
Book in the dry season (May–September) for reliable road access and safer river crossings; the wet season can close key tracks.
Hydration strategy
Carry at least 2–3 litres in a refillable bottle and top up at camps; the tour provides bottled water but remote stretches can be hot and long.
Respect cultural sites
Avoid photographing Aboriginal rock art without permission and follow your guide’s directions at sacred sites to minimize impact.
Footwear and footing
Wear closed, grippy hiking shoes for slippery rocks and creek approaches—flip-flops are fine at camp but not on Gorge trails.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Protects ankles and offers traction on wet rock approaches and uneven trails.
Wide-brimmed hat & SPF50 sunscreen
The Kimberley sun is strong; generous shade and high-SPF protection reduce sunburn and heat strain.
Refillable water bottle (2–3L capacity)
Hydration is critical between camps; refill when water is available and use provided bottled water as needed.
Lightweight daypack with dry bag
Carries swim gear, snacks, camera and layers while keeping valuables dry during river crossings.
