Luxury Kimberley Tours

The Kimberley region of Western Australia is one of Australia's last wilderness frontiers featuring rocky gorges, pristine waterfalls and swimming holes, creeks and rivers that carve their way through this vast landscape. The East Kimberly is accessible via Kununurra and includes El Questro Wilderness Park and Purnululu National Park (home of the Bungle Bungles). Expedition cruises can also be accessed from here, as can bucket-list attractions, Mitchell Falls, King George River and Berkeley River by air. The west Kimberley region includes the coastal resort town of Broome, which is ideal for experiencing the Horizontal Falls, Cape Leveque, and Pearl Farms like Cygnet Bay. Luxury Kimberley cruises also travel from Broome to Kununurra and Darwin, and to the Rowley Shoals.

 

With so much on offer, Onlyluxe offers tailor made Kimberley itineraries so that you can tick off its must-see spots as well as hidden gems in your style and of course in true luxury!

Bungle Bungles & Mitchell Falls Heli-Hike

The legendary icons of the Kimberely are the geological wonder of Bungle Bungles and the 4 tiered Mitchell Falls. The must-see World Heritage Listed and 360-million-year-old Bungle Bungles Range is located in Purnululu National Park. The orange and black sandstone domes known as the Bungle Bungles are one of the world’s most fascinating geological landmarks. It rises 300 meters above grass-covered plains that surround them and can be seen on an extended 4WD tour through the Kimberley or a shorter trip by scenic helicopter flight. While here, explore the ranges on foot with plenty walking trails and discover the towering sunlit walls of Echidna Chasm and breathtaking natural amphitheater of red rock Cathedral Gorge.

 

The four-tiered Mitchell Falls is an iconic Kimberley attraction, and one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Australia. It is defined by the creation of layers of mesmerising emerald pool from which the waters tumble from one to the next. These impressive waterfalls can be viewed by air, or get up close and walk the track to the falls. Whichever way you choose, your visit to Mitchell Falls will be an unforgettable experience.

Horizontal Falls & Cape Leveque Expedition

Located in isolated Talbot Bay in the Buccaneer Archipelago, Sir David Attenborough called Horizontal Falls one of the greatest natural wonders of the world”. Home to one of the world’s largest tidal changes, crazy tidal currents pushing through tight parallel coastal gorges create this natural spectacle. The Kimberley's tropical tides are some of the biggest in the world – rising and falling by up to 13 metres (43 feet) – and result in remote, flat whitewater rapids that can be experienced from above on a scenic flight, or, if you’re game, from the surface on a heart pumping jet boat tour.
