Doubtful Bay on the Kimberley coast

THE KIMBERLEY

One of the last true wildernesses.

Overview
The Kimberley is one of Australia’s most remote and spectacular regions—an ancient land of red rock gorges, vast savannah, dramatic waterfalls and sacred Aboriginal sites. Stretching across the northwest corner of the continent, it’s a place where nature writes the rules and adventure happens off the beaten track. From high-end outback lodges to dusty 4WD adventures, the Kimberley offers a raw yet luxurious escape into the heart of the Australian wilderness.

See and Do

The local favourite
Take a scenic flight over the Bungle Bungle Range in Purnululu National Park. These distinctive beehive-shaped sandstone domes rise from the desert like a surreal natural sculpture garden—and are best appreciated from the air.

A scene of pure natural beauty
Cruise through the Horizontal Falls, where powerful tides create a sideways waterfall effect between narrow gorges—an exhilarating experience accessible only by seaplane and boat. Or head north to the Mitchell Plateau, where tiered waterfalls and monsoon rainforest offer an extraordinary outback oasis.

Adventures in nature
Tackle the legendary Gibb River Road, a rugged 660-kilometre track linking remote cattle stations, ancient rock art sites, and secluded waterholes. Swim beneath waterfalls at Bell Gorge, explore Tunnel Creek by torchlight, or watch the sunset over the Indian Ocean from a clifftop lookout. Throughout, connect with stories and traditions of the local Aboriginal communities who have called this land home for tens of thousands of years.
