Australia’s Top End, stretching from Western Australia to the Northern Territory, is a landscape made for postcards. Towering gorges, mirror-like waterholes, vast rock formations, and untamed national parks showcase the region’s natural majesty, all enriched by millennia of First Nations culture. From Broome to Darwin, the climate is warm, but the Kimberley offers refreshing escapes, from the pools of Emma Gorge to the clifftop waterholes of the Ord River.
Hi, I'm Yasmin. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
Over the next 11 days, you’ll journey with fellow adventure-seekers who are likely to become fast friends. Break the ice over refreshing drinks as you watch a breathtaking Broome sunset sink into the Indian Ocean in a blaze of colour.
Which adventure will you choose today? Venture north into the Kimberley to witness the raw power of the Horizontal Falls, either up close or from the sky on a scenic flight. Alternatively, visit a pearl farm to see the meticulous art of pearl cultivation (both own expense), or stay local and soak up Broome’s tropical charm along the 22-kilometre stretch of Cable Beach, hunting for dinosaur footprints and exploring its boutiques.
At Gantheaume Point, glimpse the footprints of dinosaurs that roamed this coastline over 125 million years ago. From here, journey to Fitzroy Crossing, a remote gateway to the Kimberley’s spectacular natural wonders, where rugged terrain reveals towering rock formations, dramatic gorges, cascading waterfalls, and expansive river systems.
This morning, embark on a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience at the Mimbi Caves with an Indigenous guide. Marvel at delicate limestone formations, vivid colours, and crystal-clear pools from the Devonian Great Barrier Reef, explore ancient rock paintings, and hear Dreamtime stories over billy tea and damper.
Delve deeper into Aboriginal culture at Halls Creek’s Yarliyil Arts Centre, where local artists ethically create works that celebrate country, history, and lifestyle. Journey along the Gibb River Road to El Questro Wilderness Park, set against the red Cockburn Range. Nestled among pandanus and palms, your safari-style tent offers starlit nights accompanied by the gentle chorus of frogs and cicadas.
Wake to the sun streaming through your tent and wildlife all around. Travel to Wyndham, Western Australia’s northernmost township, and explore its charming outback landscapes and wetlands. Cool off with a dip in the resort pool, then return to your patio in time to enjoy sundowners.
Gain a rare insight into Hoochery Distillery with the family behind its award-winning rums and whiskys, and perhaps sample a tasting paddle (own expense) before morning tea. Explore Kununurra, born from the Ord River Irrigation Scheme, and visit the Durack Homestead Museum to learn how pioneering farmers relocated their property to make way for Lake Argyle. Cap the afternoon with an unforgettable cruise, spotting freshwater crocodiles and native birds amidst the stunning scenery.
Today is yours to choose your adventure: take a scenic flight or 4WD tour over the dramatic World Heritage-listed Purnululu National Park, home to the iconic Bungle Bungles (own expense), or explore Mirima National Park, the ‘mini Bungles,’ with your Travel Director and learn how these remarkable landscapes were formed.
Bid farewell to Western Australia and step into the vast outback of the Northern Territory. Experience the Katherine Outback Experience, an immersive celebration of the region’s pastoral history and culture, where songs, stories, and local character create a raw, authentic, and often humorous adventure.
Experience the majesty of Nitmiluk National Park on Jawoyn land as you cruise through the dramatic Katherine Gorge, where soaring sandstone cliffs change colour with each bend of the river. Travel north past the Adelaide River, where reminders of WWII, including a former military base and cemetery, mark a sobering history. In Darwin, enjoy a relaxed city tour, discovering its architecture and stories from Cyclone Tracy to wartime bombings, before gathering for dinner and connecting with your fellow travellers.
Eleven days, countless adventures, new friendships, and a deeper appreciation for Australia’s wild heart—what an unforgettable journey this has been.
