Departing Kununurra at 7am, track westward to El Questro, the Cockburn Ranges, Home Valley Station, onto Mitchell River Falls for a close orbit and landing at the bauxite rich Plateau airfield. You are welcomed by your tour guide and checked in to the nearby Mitchell Falls Wilderness Lodge before departing on your private guided hike to the Mitchell Falls (by luxury 4WD). Enjoy a picnic lunch at the falls before being collected by helicopter for a scenic return to base. Finish your day with a swim in the billabong or a short walk. Enjoy a gourmet dinner, campfire with new friends, and luxury tent accommodation at the exclusive KWA Mitchell Falls Wilderness Lodge.
Day 2 - 4 Mitchell Falls - Kimberley Coastal Camp (B,L,D)
You are collected from the Mitchell Falls Lodge for the 4WD journey to Walsh Point and boat ride to the Kimberley Coastal Camp. There is no place like the Kimberley Coastal Camp, and there is no other place further from where you have come.
Your time at the camp is yours to plan at your leisure. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, with no pre-set itineraries. You set your own pace with the always helpful guidance of your hosts, Tub and Julie. Spend your time mud crabbing, fishing for Barramundi or any of dozens of other species in the pristine azure waters. Or simply explore on foot or by boat an ancient land and experience the local wildlife, bush tucker, and medicines first hand. Discover remarkable Wandjina and Gwion Gwion (Bradshaw) rock art which has been part of this landscape and the lives of its traditional owners for thousands of years. Or you may prefer to leisurely cruise and picnic on boab tree fringed deserted islands, or just relax on a day bed with a cold drink under a cloudless Kimberley sky.

Return by boat and 4WD to the Mitchell Plateau airfield. Departing Mitchell Plateau, track for Port Warrender, and the Pearl farms of Vansittart Bay, followed by the historic WWII Truscott airbase and Boome-Napier Bay where you land at the remote aboriginal community of Kalumburu.
