About this tour
Spend eight hours traversing Kalbarri National Park's remote corners via 4WD, canoe, and foot. You'll navigate a private track into the gorges, paddle the river at water level, then tackle a seasonal waterfall on the return leg. Lunch breaks at Nature's Window let you absorb the layered sandstone and broad horizons. Designed for mixed-ability groups, though the terrain demands steady legs and a working heart.

What to expect
You start in a vehicle fitted with large windows, climbing into the park's interior via rough track. The 4WD leg opens into views of stacked gorges—your guide will talk through the geology and ecology as you go. Then you transition to canoes on the river, paddling downstream with the canyon walls rising either side. The day's physical crux comes next: a waterfall scramble involving hand-holds and some exposure, though it's seasonal so flow varies. After regrouping, you'll walk to the skywalk platform for lunch and extended sightseeing before the return drive.
Good to know
Moderate fitness essential—the waterfall ascent is the key challenge. Not suitable for spinal injuries or cardiovascular concerns. Wear sturdy footwear and bring a hat; sun exposure is real despite the gorge setting. Water shoes helpful for the canoe section.
