    Karijini Journey Tour Overview

    Karijini beckons with its cavernous gorges and waterfalls that seem to defy time itself. This is your opportunity to find space in ancient spaces. We invite you to press pause with our 4-night, 5-day escape to the simplicity of the great outdoors.

    Our carefully crafted journey is creating a nurturing space centered on empowerment, connection, and growth as you traverse the rugged tracks, swim in fern-lined pools, and experience the sheer majesty of vertical rock canyons that glow red in the setting sun. With each step, you traverse ancient landscapes, and with each breath, you have a chance to reconnect with nature and rejuvenate your spirit.

    This immersive adventure for the soul will nudge you into your “challenge-zone”. While the physical paths are accessible, the gorges challenge you with a grade 4-5 difficulty, designed to invigorate and push your boundaries within the safety of the group and guides. Moderate fitness levels are recommended to fully enjoy the essence of this transformative experience.

    The journey is your chance to connect and share. To step away from the daily rush and embrace simplicity with others who share your quest for a deeper connection to both self and nature. The adventure encompasses delicious meals and snacks, alongside four nights of accommodation set against the breathtaking landscape of Karijini Eco Retreat.

    Experience guided hikes through a collection of Karijini’s most renowned gorges and serene swimming holes, including the celebrated Fern Pool and Dales Gorge. Daily journaling sessions and mindfulness practices are integrated into the itinerary, enhancing your connection to self.

    The journey culminates with a sunrise hike to the summit of Mount Bruce, Western Australia’s second tallest peak, offering spectacular views that crown your transformative journey.

    Twin-share accommodation is included, but for complete privacy, select a private tent at checkout.

    • So memorable and enjoyable

      Everything from booking the trip until the flight home was handled seamlessly. Information for the trip and costs were realistic and the small group numbers made everyone feel special. The eco resort, food and daily tours were all amazing. Every day was a photographers dream and each day brought new physical, emotional and spiritual experiences. A truly unbelievable adventure. I would go again. A must go tour.
