Is this trip right for you?

  • This trip involves plenty of walking over varied terrain and is best suited to travellers with a good level of mobility. A reasonable level of fitness and being sure on your feet is necessary to participate. Good footwear (hiking boots with ankle support and closed toe water shoes), clothing for all types of weather (sun protection and warm layers for the evening), plus perhaps walking poles are recommended for extra stability on uneven rocky terrain. Details on physical activities can be found in the daily itinerary.
  • This is a camping trip. Simple facilities and lack of emphasis on creature comforts make this an authentic experience of the Australian outback. A Single Supplement is not available on the default version of this trip. A single traveller will have a tent to yourself on camping nights, however in the permanent tented camps you will be paired up with another single traveller of the same gender. An accommodation upgrade (Camping Plus) for nights 4, 5, 6, 7 and 10 is available upon request and subject to availability at an additional cost. Please see the accommodation section of your trip notes or speak to your Travel Specialist for more details.
  • On some days of the trip, you’ll spend several hours driving through very sparse areas of Australia. Extra space can be tight, and conditions may feel a little cramped. There will be some very early mornings.
  • Minimum age: 12 years old.

*This itinerary is valid for departures from 01 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Please consult your Travel Specialist for details on itinerary variations outside these dates.*

Trip itinerary

Welcome to Broome! Or Rubibi, in the language of the Yawuru people, who are the Traditional Custodians of the land on which Broome is now located. Start your adventure straight away, setting off early this morning and travelling through the remote and beautiful Kimberley landscape. After crossing the Fitzroy River, visit the Boab Prison Tree in Derby. Then, wander an art gallery before continuing along the Gibb River Road to Tunnel Creek. When you arrive, explore this 750 m long cave system carved through the Napier Range. Look out for the stalactites and a large variety of wildlife like bats and freshwater crocodiles, and hear the legend of Jandamarra – a First Nation freedom fighter who used the tunnel as a hide out in the late 1800's. Tonight, settle into camp near Windjana Gorge and watch as the stars come alive, away from the city lights.

Make sure you’re on time this morning, as your trip will kick off straight away. See the Joining Point Instructions in the Essential Trip Information for details on where to meet your leader. Your travel time today will be approximately 6 or 7 hours. Your walking distance will be approximately 2 km or 1 hour. The longest uninterrupted drive today will be approximately 2.5 hours from Derby to Tunnel Creek, with no toilet facilities on the way. The Tunnel Creek Trail is a Grade 5 (difficult) walk. There are loose rocks and uneven surfaces, with some sections requiring rock hopping, wading through waist deep water on submerged rocks and a short swim in complete darkness. Some sections require three points of contact at all times. Please make sure that you have your swimwear, towel, head torch and closed-toe wet shoes in your day pack when leaving Broome this morning, as your main luggage will be stowed away in the back of the vehicle. Tonight’s campsite requires you to set up your own dome tents (provided). Alternatively, you can sleep in a swag (a canvas bedroll) under the stars. Facilities are basic and showers are solar heated. There is no opportunity to purchase alcohol between Broome and Kununurra. If you’d like to bring alcoholic drinks to have around the campfire, please buy them in Broome before the trip starts. Please only bring cans, as glass bottles will break due to the corrugation on the Gibb River Road.
