Ord River

Reviewed By U3551CWjoanm

We did the Ord River Experience with Riverside Lunch tour with Tripple J Tours. This was the best tour we did in Kununurra. The crew were excellent, very knowledgeable and provided extensive commentary on the river system, plants and animals and the Argyle Dam.

Emma Gorge

Reviewed By loveindo - Broome, Australia

Access in to Emma Gorge is along a short track where this year 2 shallow stretches of water had to be crossed to reach the Resort parking area. Emma Gorge Resort is part of El Questro Wilderness Park & boasts lovely gardens , glamping tents & luxury accommodation as well as Emmas Restaurant & a pool. Casual dining, coffee & snacks available as well as souvenirs. Plenty of parking & nice clean public toilets. There is a reasonably easy start to the challenging Gorge walk where the creek is crossed in several places & some climbing is involved but as long as you tackle it with decent walking shoes & plenty of drinking water people of any age & reasonable fitness should manage. Turquoise pool is easy enough to reach & swimming is possible here. The rest of the walk to the waterfall is only a little bit further on. The towering cliffs surround this chilly waterhole that rarely sees much sunshine. After a fairly dry wet season the waterfall was still running, only a narrow stream, but running none the less. Lots of people were braving a swim in the cool pool but it is actually a nice spot to just sit for a while before heading back down to the resort. The return walk seemed a little less daunting somehow. But icy cool water provided on the verandah of the resort & lush green grass to loll on for a while saw us recovering quickly enough.

Mirima National Park

Reviewed By 810lf - Queensland, Australia

Beautiful little National Park, close to Kununurra. Interesting easy walks through Hidden Valley, amazing rock formations in a small area. Terribly dry after a failed wet season, but still beautiful.

Parry Lagoons Nature Reserve

Reviewed By 9waynep - Toowoomba, Australia

Called in with our tour group and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of wildlife. There was many different species of birds, water Lillie's and two very large saltwater crocodiles, sunny themselves on the opposite bank. There is a hide located on the waters edge which allows you to observe the wildlife in safety.

Prince Regent National Park

Reviewed By PMQuestions - North Yorkshire, United Kingdom

We landed in Careening Bay from a small cruise ship. This is the western edge of the park and is notable for a venerable Boab tree which carries historic graffiti from Lt Parker King’s expedition in HM Cutter “Mermaid”. Only accessible by sea but certainly worth a look.

Molly Springs

Reviewed By mareebali1967 - Darwin, Australia

Easy 4x4 drive in and not far off the main high way. A delightful small spring with clear cool water to have a swim in. Small Waterfall was flowing when we where there. Take a walk (wear appropriate shoes we didn’t and the rocks where sharp) up above the spring good place to snap a pic.
