Tour Highlights

These exclusive or unique events are designed to deepen your experience, taking you on an inspiring journey beneath the surface of local history, culture and traditions. What's more, these once-in-a-lifetime moments are often not available to a regular traveller. The following experiences are just a taste of what we have prepared especially for you.

PLEASE NOTE: Only for use in conjunction with Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort.

Dolphin Feeding Demonstration

See the wild Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins of Monkey Mia that have visited the shallows for the last 50 years and watch as local rangers undertake a dolphin feeding demonstration (subject to appearance).

Joffre Falls, Karijini National Park

Karijini National Park

Discover the contrasting landscapes of Karijini National Park. See the rugged red beauty of Dales Gorge, walk to stunning Joffre Falls, or admire the rich red colours from Oxer and Junction Pool lookouts.

Horizontal Falls

Enjoy viewing the incredible Horizontal Falls aboard a Zodiac in Talbot Bay, subject to tidal conditions. Forged by the bay’s impressive 12-metre tides, the powerful currents are a sight to behold.

Montgomery Reef

Soak in the amazing scenes aboard a Zodiac as Montgomery Reef dramatically rises out of the ocean as a result of the region’s strong tides. Cruise through narrow channels between the world’s largest inshore reef as you admire the spectacle, and the incredible wildlife exposed by the cascading water.

Bigge Island Indigenous Rock Art

Bigge Island is ripe for discovery today. It’s well known for its Aboriginal rock art, created by the Wunambal people, and you’ll explore a network of caves throughout the island. Here, discover paintings that display fascinating examples of first-contact art and Wandjina figures.

Wide angle of King George Falls in the Kimberley, Western Australia.

King George River and Falls

Get up close and personal to the magnificent King George Falls, where the King George River tumbles 80 metres down from lofty sandstone cliffs. You’ll be able to experience its power as your Zodiac creeps close to the iconic waterfall.
