- Days 1-9
  Kimberley Coast Cruise
  Begin your journey in Broome before setting off on a 9-day coastal cruise. Plan this section during the dry season (May-September) for stable weather and flowing waterfalls. You'll experience dramatic 12-meter tides at Horizontal Falls and take multiple Zodiac excursions. Bring reef-friendly sunscreen and quick-dry clothing.
- Days 10-12
  Darwin & Litchfield National Park
  After your cruise ends in Darwin spend time exploring this tropical city. Visit Florence Falls in Litchfield National Park before 9 AM to avoid crowds and heat. The walking tracks can get slippery so wear shoes with good grip. While swimming is usually safe in the main pools always check local conditions first.
- Days 13-14
  Katherine Region
  The Darwin to Katherine drive takes about 3 hours on good roads. Take a morning cruise at Nitmiluk Gorge for the best photos and calmest water. A recent visitor shared: "The 3-hour Nitmiluk Gorge cruise was a highlight—bring a hat and water as there's limited shade on the boat."
- Days 15-17
  Purnululu National Park
  The Bungle Bungle Range needs careful planning. You'll need a 4WD vehicle for the rough access road. Visit Cathedral Gorge mid-morning to see sunlight fill the natural amphitheater. Walk to Echidna Chasm early before temperatures rise.
- Days 18-20
  El Questro
  This million-acre wilderness park is packed with activities. Start the Emma Gorge hike by 7 AM to avoid the heat. Note that Zebedee Springs is only open 7 AM to noon to protect the environment. Book these popular spots well in advance during peak season.
- Days 21-23
  Bell Gorge to Broome
  Your final stretch includes Gibb River Road highlights. Bell Gorge involves a moderate 1-hour return hike to reach swimming areas. Watch for slippery tracks after rain. Finish in Broome and take time to watch a Cable Beach sunset.

24 Day Western Australia Itinerary, incl. Darwin and Perth
View itinerary
- Days 1-2
  Darwin to Lake Argyle
  Start your journey in Darwin and travel south to Nitmiluk National Park. Get to Edith Falls early for a morning swim before it gets too hot. Remember to only swim in marked areas because of crocodiles. The 4-hour drive to Lake Argyle follows mostly sealed roads. A fellow traveler shares: "Be prepared to get dirty and embrace the camping experience - it's one of the most fun parts, especially for first-timers!"
- Days 3-4
  Purnululu National Park (Bungle Bungles)
  Visit the iconic beehive domes of the Bungle Bungles. Take photos of Cathedral Gorge in mid-morning when the lighting is best. You'll need strong shoes with ankle support for walking through Echidna Chasm. Helicopter tours cost $350 and offer amazing views but book early as spots fill up fast.
- Days 5-6
  El Questro Station
  Spend two days exploring gorges from El Questro. Start the Emma Gorge hike by 7 AM to avoid peak heat. Bring water shoes for stream crossings. Visit Zebedee Springs first thing since they close at noon.
- Days 7-9
  Gibb River Road & Gorges
  You'll need a 4WD for the bumpy Gibb River Road. At Manning Gorge, use the pulley boat to cross the river and keep your electronics in dry bags. You might see freshwater crocodiles at Windjana Gorge. They rarely cause problems but stay alert when you spot them sunbathing.
- Days 10-14
  Broome
  Take a break from camping in Broome. Watch the sunset at Cable Beach but bring insect spray for sand flies. One reviewer noted: "Having more time on the coast instead of at the gorges would be nice for balance." Whale shark tours run April to July and cost $350.
- Days 15-18
  Pilbara Region & Karijini
  The long drive to Karijini offers nice views. Do challenging walks like Hancock Gorge's Spider Walk in the morning. Wear reef shoes in the gorges since rocks get slippery. The swimming holes help beat the heat but check the depth before jumping.
- Days 19-21
  Coral Coast
  Snorkel Ningaloo Reef right from the beach. Use the drift snorkel area at Turquoise Bay due to strong currents. Glass bottom boats ($37) work well if you don't swim. Wear shoes at Shell Beach to protect your feet from sharp shells.
- Days 22-24
  Kalbarri to Perth
  End your trip with Kalbarri's gorges and the Pinnacles Desert. Visit Nature's Window early to avoid crowds and heat. See the Pinnacles at sunset for the best photos. It's about 2 hours from there to Perth.
