AAT Kings - Wonders of the Kimberley Itinerary

Meet your Travel Director and fellow travellers in the former pearling outpost of Broome, and relax over a drink before dining in your resort’s bar and grill with its sweeping views of the Indian Ocean.

Included Meals: Dinner with Wine

Flights to arrive prior to 3.00pm into Broome Airport

Accommodation: Broome - 2 Nights

Multicultural Broome became a base for fortune-seekers the world over during its ‘pearl rush’. The pristine waters here grow great oysters, and the resulting pearls are prized by lovers of all things that gleam. Your free day here is one of decisions. We wouldn’t blame you for simply enjoying Broome’s tropical climes, strolling along 22-kilometre Cable Beach, discovering colourful Chinatown then following locals to the sand, or a beachside bar, to salute the end of a spectacular day in WA.

Included Meals: Breakfast

Preserved for 125 million years in the reef rock at Gantheaume Point are the imprints of long-extinct dinosaurs. Remarkably, the Broome coast has become one of the most significant paleontological sites in the world. Glimpse their stomping ground before venturing toward Fitzroy Crossing.

Included Meals: Breakfast, Dinner with Wine

Accommodation: Fitzroy Crossing - 1 Night

This morning you will explore the spectacular Mimbi Caves with an Indigenous guide. Observe the delicate limestone formations, brilliantly vivid colours and crystal-clear freshwater pools that remain from the Devonian Great Barrier Reef that formed over 350 million years ago. Discover ancient rock paintings before hearing Dreamtime stories while enjoying billy tea and damper. Dive deep into First Nations culture on a visit to an art gallery, a community venue supporting Aboriginal creatives in the region.

Included Meals: Breakfast, Dinner with Wine, Lunch

Accommodation: Halls Creek - 1 Night

Get a taste of the Gibb River Road before arriving to El Questro Wilderness Park, backdropped by the rusty red Cockburn Range. Hidden among the pandanus palms are a string of slick safari-style tents. Which means you can gaze at the stars while you drift off to a chorus of frogs and cicadas. When darkness falls, expect a bedazzlement of stars overhead.

Included Meals: Breakfast, Dinner with Wine, Lunch

Accommodation: Gorge Resort - 2 Nights

The Kimberley’s sounds follow you across the mighty Pentecost River, a mecca for those who love a spot of barramundi fishing. Arriving at Chamberlain Gorge, your cruise chariot awaits. Jump aboard to feel very small indeed, your boat dwarfed by soaring 65-metre escarpments. When it’s time to cool down, take a dip in the resort's pool, perhaps.

Included Meals: Breakfast, Dinner with Wine

Discover how Kununurra’s Hoochery Distillery makes its lip-smacking rums and whiskys. Perhaps try a tasting paddle to get your heart started, and later sit down to morning tea. Kununurra only exists because of the Ord River Irrigation Scheme. Farming pioneers came here to establish vast cattle stations, the life of one family is chronicled at the Durack Homestead Museum, which you’ll visit before enjoying sunset while cruising the Ord River.

Included Meals: Breakfast

Accommodation: Kimberley - 2 Nights

Today is one of decisions: An scenic flight over (or 4WD tour of) the Bungle Bungles (both own expense). Or a wander with your Travel Director through Mirima National Park. In between, explore the Waringarri Aboriginal Art Centre on a guided tour.

Included Meals: Breakfast

Say goodbye to WA and hello to the NT, your introduction to the state the vast pastoral lands that characterise the outback here. Locals come with plenty of country swagger, as you’ll discover when you meet the horseman and award-winning musician Tom Curtain and his wife Annabel at this Be My Guest experience. After the songs and entertainment your special evening of dining under the stars on their property begins.

Included Meals: Breakfast, Be My Guest Dinner

Accommodation: Katherine - 1 Night

Nature reigns supreme at Nitmiluk National Park. This is Jawoyn land, and a place where you’ll feel your spirit soar. Particularly when you’re cruising through dramatic Nitmiluk Gorge, your boat the only sound in this enormous chasm. The balmy Darwin climate sets the pace for your final city tour: relaxed. Discover the city’s architecture and learn about the events that have shaped life. Gather this evening for a Farewell Dinner and exchange email addresses with your new friends.

Included Meals: Breakfast, Farewell Dinner

Accommodation: Darwin - 1 Night
