Day-by-Day Itinerary

Day 1

Welcome to the remote East Kimberley region of Western Australia! It's an early pick up from your Kununurra accommodation for a truly special day out. Enjoy aerial views on your scenic charter flight across the Kimberley, as you make your way from Kununurra to the Mitchell Plateau. Look out over changing landscape as you pass the King George River and mighty Twin Falls - the highest in Western Australia - before reaching the turquoise waters of the Kimberley coastline near Berkeley River.

After landing at Mitchell Plateau, you'll board a helicopter, taking you to the start of your 5km guided walk to the top of Mitchell Falls. Take in Lake Mertens and Aboriginal rock art sites on this adventurous walk before arriving at the falls. There is time for a picnic lunch and a swim above the falls post-walk. Later you'll board your the light air charter back to Kununurra. Upon landing, be met by your private helicopter pilot who will whisk you by heli to the lawns of El Questro Homestead. Your El Questro host will provide an overview of the plan for the next few days before evening drinks and canapes, followed by dinner on the terrace or overlooking Chamberlain Gorge so you can dine under the stars. Enjoy a choice of modern Australian cuisine showcasing local, seasonal produce and fine wines.

Day 2

We recommend an early start and breakfast on the sweeping veranda overlooking Chamberlain Gorge so you can watch the rising sun transform the surrounding ranges with a soft pink glow. After breakfast, you'll be led by your private guide on a morning walk to one of El Questro's most iconic sites, Emma Gorge. After navigating the terrain into the gorge you'll be rewarded with an amphitheatre of towering red cliff walls surrounding a wide natural pool. A droplet waterfall and a small thermal water outlet trickle down from the rocks. An incredibly pretty spot to take a well-deserved swim and marvel at the scale of the gorge walls above. After a walk back out of Emma Gorge, your guide will transfer you back to the Homestead just in time for lunch and a chilled glass of West Australian white.

This afternoon enjoy exclusive access to the Zebedee thermal springs as a Homestead guest, and soak in the warm healing waters while it is peaceful and closed to the public. The walk into the Springs is an experience in itself, surrounded by ancient palms under a rainforest canopy. Tonight another evening of food and wine at the Homestead awaits. You can choose to dine privately or with new Homestead friends.

Day 3

After breakfast, join your private guide for an adventurous hike through El Questro Gorge today. The walk starts easily enough with a pleasant stroll through palms and rainforest, along a spring-fed creek at the base of the gorge. You'll encounter some boulders along the valley before arriving at a small, crystal-clear swimming hole. Relax here with a drink and take in the beauty of the rainforest. You can choose to continue on from here as the hike becomes more challenging to reach the truly spectacular El Questro waterfall and swimming hole - it's well worth it. This evening, you have the opportunity to join a quintessential El Questro experience - an open air safari adventure up to a scenic lookout high above Chamberlain Gorge. Enjoy wine and cheese with Homestead guests as the sunsets over the Kimberley. Later enjoy one last Homestead dinner under the stars with something special to toast a magnificent stay.

Head back to the Homestead for a final breakfast before you make your way back to Kununurra by private ground transfer at a time that suits you. Enjoy the scenic drive across a short section of the Gibb River Road on your journey back to Kununurra.
