Shorter 2 day Kimberley tours and 5 day Kimberley tours are also available that include Windjana Gorge and Tunnel Creek on the 2 day Kimberley Tour, or add Bungle Bungles on the 5 day Kimberley Tour – both tours from Broome
All tours are fully accommodated with ensuite rooms in motels or permanent safari cabins
Which Kimberley tour is right for You ?
Now you have been able to compare Kimberley tours, which one is right for you — 7, 8 or 10 days?
All three of these tours departing from Broome share the same legendary core route: Windjana Gorge, Tunnel Creek, Fitzroy Crossing / Geikie Gorge, the Bungle Bungles (Purnululu), El Questro, and the best swimming gorges on the Gibb River Road. The difference is how many bucket-list icons you add on top.
Extra days can also be added with relaxing days and nights in Broome for beach, poolsides, Pearl Farm
All Kimberley tours include walks that suit a moderate level of fitness and you can choose at the time to do or not. The Mitchell Falls walk on 8 or 10 day tours can be substituted with a helicopter flight.
The 7 Day Kimberley Tour — “The Classic Kimberley Greatest Hits”
Choose the 7 Day if you want the authentic Gibb River Road experience in a tight, high-value itinerary:
The key gorges, walks and swims
Bungles + El Questro highlights
A strong mix of scenery, culture and comfort
Ideal if you’re short on time, or doing Kimberley as part of a bigger WA trip
Best for: first-time Kimberley travellers, time-poor professionals, value-driven adventurers.
The 8 Day Kimberley Tour — “Add Mitchell Falls (the WOW day)”
Choose the 8 Day if you want everything in the 7 Day tour plus the iconic Mitchell Falls day:
Scenic flight from Broome to the Mitchell Plateau region
Guided walk, rock art/cultural context, swim opportunities
Helicopter scenic over the falls & gorge system
This is the most common “upgrade” because it adds a true once-in-a-lifetime highlight without extending into extra coastal tour days.
Best for: guests who want a standout hero experience (Mitchell Falls) without going all the way to 10 days.
The 10 Day Kimberley Tour — “The Ultimate Kimberley Bucket List”
Choose the 10 Day if you want the full Kimberley story — land, air, coast, and culture:
Everything in the 8 Day (including Mitchell Falls)
Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm, Dampier Peninsula & Cape Leveque (when open) day
If you’re travelling a long way to get here, this is the version where you tick off the Kimberley’s most famous icons in one seamless package.
Best for: retirees / empty nesters doing a “big trip”, milestone birthdays/anniversaries, and travellers who want the full premium Kimberley experience.
