Guests who have travelled the Gibb often ask what else is worth seeing in Western Australia. The honest answer is the coast — and the two trips fit together neatly.
Two very different landscapes
The Kimberley is gorge and escarpment country: red rock, waterholes, rock art and the Gibb River Road. The coastal route is something else entirely — Karijini’s slot gorges, the Ningaloo Reef where you can snorkel straight off the beach, Monkey Mia’s dolphins, and the cliffs at Kalbarri.
Running them back to back gives you close to a month, and the contrast is what makes it work. You are not seeing more of the same thing.
How the dates line up
The usual pattern is a Perth to Broome trip in late April, arriving in Broome in time to start a Kimberley loop in May. Or the reverse at the end of the season — finish your Kimberley tour, then head south to Perth in September.
When you book both, we take $500 off the second tour. Get in touch with rough dates and we will put the combination together for you.
One tip: if the whale sharks are on your list, you need the April or May coastal departures. They have moved on from Ningaloo by the later part of the season.
