Tour Departures
Upon arrival in Darwin, your private transfer will take you to Mantra on the Esplanade. The balance of the day is at leisure.
Overnight: Mantra on the Esplanade – One Bedroom Ocean View
This morning after breakfast you will be transferred to Kununurra Airport. Your scenic flight will depart from Kununurra to El Questro Homestead. This scenic two-hour aircruise will have you fly over Purnululu National Park before landing at the El Questro Station strip where you are then transferred via 4WD to your luxury accommodation.
El Questro Wilderness Park extends for approximately 80 km north-south and 60 km east-west, totalling one million acres in size. Its landscape offers outstanding diversity – from rugged sandstone ranges and broad tidal flats, to rainforest pockets, gorges, and permanent waterfalls. At the heart of El Questro Wilderness Park lies The Homestead. Perched atop a cliff with vistas of the Chamberlain River, The Homestead is a boutique oasis and will be your home for the next two evenings. This is the ultimate luxury in the most spectacular rugged landscape on earth.
Overnight: El Questro Homestead – Garden Room (B,L,D and standard beverages included)
There is an array of complimentary activities to do at El Questro. A cruise through the Chamberlain Gorge is a must! During the cruise, you will enjoy the diverse flora and fauna, resident rock wallabies, Johnston crocodiles and the always cheeky Archer fish – which are all familiar inhabitants of the gorge. Relax on the peaceful return journey at dusk when the colours of the Kimberley shine on the towering cliffs.
Overnight: El Questro Homestead – Garden Room (B,L,D and standard beverages included)
After a sumptuous breakfast, your private aircraft is waiting to transport you to Berkeley River Lodge. Departing El Questro the flight is to the northwest where the Cockburn range comes into view. This spectacular range is very unique with its vertical cliff running the whole way around the range. We then cross the Pentecost River, home to many Saltwater crocodiles. The flight takes in the Cambridge Gulf, used by ships to access the Port of Wyndham. Prior to landing, the Berkeley River, and the Kimberley Coastline come into view.
The Berkeley River Lodge is nestled on the gentle curve of Joseph Bonaparte Gulf on Australia’s remote north Kimberley coast. A stone’s throw away from some of the most spectacular untouched coastal wilderness on earth. From your dune top ocean view villa, you’re just a sandy-footed stroll away from pristine wildlife-rich bushland and secluded beaches, where the only frequent visitors are dolphins, dugongs, and turtles.
Overnight: Berkeley River Lodge – Ocean View Room (B,L,D and standard beverages included)
Spend the day taking in this extraordinary environment, one of the truly last touched frontiers. On a river cruise, you can glide past towering rugged cliffs to the remotest freshwater swimming holes, stunning waterfalls, and majestic gorges, where the peace and tranquillity is broken only by birdsong. The lodge will provide the activities on offer for the day.
Overnight: Berkeley River Lodge – Ocean View Room (B,L,D and standard beverages included)
Depart Berkeley River this morning for your flight to Darwin. Upon arrival, you will be met and transferred to the Mantra on the Esplanade.
