Once again we're taking you on a journey through our own hidden outback gem in WA ....The Kimberley region! Boasting rugged landscapes, hidden beauty around each corner, indigenous culture, waterfalls and waterholes, impressive gorges and stunning scenery, this part of Australia is truly paradise and we can't wait to share it with you!
Accompanying you will be our knowledgeable, friendly and resourceful guides who will cook & care for you throughout the duration. We travel in a well-equipped, air-conditioned, purpose built 4WD bus and allow a maximum of 15 ladies on the tour, ensuring your comfort at all times. We provide wholesome meals and gourmet snacks along the way, and at the end of each day after enjoying social time around the camp fire, you get to retire to the comfort of your own spacious tent set under a canopy of stars (no single supp & includes stretcher bed & self inflating mattress)
Meals: Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation: Camping at Purnululu NP
After lunch we drive across to Echinda Chasm, one of the highlights of the park. The gorge is a spectacular long, narrow chasm. It has striking colour variations, depending on the angle of the sun beaming into the chasm, with Livistonia palms waving from the 200 m high ridges above ... simply stunning and a photographer's delight!

Camping
The majority of our tour is spent camping, as most of the areas we visit are remote and accommodation is limited. We also believe this is an awesome way to experience the true spirit of the Kimberley. We camp almost every night in designated campgrounds, staying between one and two nights at each location and we supply all the camping gear your require, including 190cm high tents - 1 per person (yep you can stand and move around freely), stretcher bed, a mattress to sleep on and a comfy armchair.
There are toilets and showers available at each of the campsites, with the exception of no showers in Purnululu NP (the Bungle Bungles) where we set up a pretty cool private outback showering station. Bring your own pillow and sleeping bag or hire a sleeping bag from us for $35 (please let us know when booking if you would like this option). We have a limited amount of sleeping bags for hire, so please let us know early.
Hotel Accommodation - Broome
As part of this package, we include your last evening's accommodation in Broome at The Mecure (or similar standard) in twin share rooms. At the time of booking your tour with us if you would prefer your own room here, please let us know early so that we can check availability and provide you with the single supplement pricing.
Self Contained En-suite Cabins - Kununurra
As part of this package, we provide accommodation in Kununurra at the Ivanhoe Caravan Park in Twin Share Cabins. There is no option for single supplement here as cabins are limited, so we ask for your understanding. You will be allocated a cabin with another lady from the group unless you are travelling with a friend or family and wish to share with them on this evening. Please let us know at the time of booking on this tour.
This tour by it's very nature is not designed for the 5 Star Traveller. It is for the girl who has an 'adventurous spirit' and is looking for a unique and rewarding 'experience' (Once in a Lifetime)! You should be able to adopt a "Go With The Flow" attitude, after-all we're camping in the rugged outback and with a positive approach, you're sure to get the best out of your holiday.
You will also need to be mobile without assistance - many of the sites we visit require you to be on your feet, walking and navigating rocky paths & uneven surfaces at times. However as it's your holiday, you may choose not to walk on any given day and simply chill out under a Boab, swim in a nearby natural pool or read a book - there are options.
