What to expect

Your day begins with a scenic flight out of Broome heading northeast. Once landed at Bellburn, a local guide meets your group and drives closer to the Bungle Bungle range. Most of your time is spent on foot: the Domes Walk takes you amongst the famous eroded towers, while Cathedral Gorge involves walking along sandy ground beside a creek. The terrain includes steps and soft sand underfoot. You'll hear stories about how the Kimberley's environment sustains its traditional custodians. Refreshments are provided at set times, and lunch arrives in a cooler bag. The flight home traces a different route over dramatic reef formations.
