    Tour Overview

    Step into the raw beauty of Karijini National Park. This guided adventure takes you deep into Dales Gorge, where sheer red rock walls, cascading waterfalls, and ancient landscapes set the scene for an unforgettable experience.

    With an experienced guide leading the way, you’ll hike through rugged terrain, past towering cliffs, and along crystal-clear pools. The journey leads to Fern Pool and Fortescue Falls, a place of deep cultural significance and one of Karijini’s most peaceful swimming spots. Take a moment to soak it all in—cool water, lush greenery, and the sounds of the outback. A light refreshment will be provided as you rest and reconnect with nature.

    Along the way, your guide will share the stories of this land—its geology, history, and the traditions that make it special. This tour is designed for those who crave adventure but appreciate a slower pace, where there’s time to pause, breathe, and take in the wild beauty around you.

    No rush. No distractions. Just an experience built for those who want to move through the world with curiosity and appreciation.

    This tour is available seasonally from April to September, taking advantage of the park’s most inviting weather. Bookings are essential to secure your adventure, as availability is limited.
