Spread over Australia’s north-western corner, the Kimberley region is one of the world’s last wilderness frontiers. Offering majestic canyons, freshwater swimming holes, prolific wildlife and one of Australia’s greatest 4WD road trips, this destination combines remoteness with all the makings of a great trip- great food, luxury accommodation, and friendly locals.
Swimming holes
Kimberley offers an abundance of national parks and waterfalls to relax in. Choose from an array of freshwater pools, eco-retreats and gorges including the popular ElQuestro Gorge, its tropical and cool atmosphere serving as a refreshing reward after a challenging hike.

Marvel at Broome’s beautiful sunset while learning a wealth of information about Australian’s camels and their history.
Helicopter rides
