Tour Description

Considered one of the great marvels of the Kimberley, our experience at Geikie Gorge is brought to life with a great 1 hour cruise providing a fascinating insight into the prehistoric geology surrounding this treasured landform.

Setting off from Broome we break en route for morning tea (own expense) before arriving at the township of Fitzroy Crossing. Following a brief town tour we head to nearby Geikie Gorge where we enjoy a picnic lunch. Afterwards you can join a memorable 2 hour Darngku Heritage Cruise hosted by local Bunuba Aboriginal Cultural guides (optional at extra charge - GG1). This option includes a boat cruise through Geikie Gorge down the Fitzroy River. On this great tour, your guide demonstrates how to make fire with sticks and provides a fascinating view of Aboriginal culture, Dreamtime stories, bush tucker, animal tracks and cultural practices. (This cruise is operated in a boat featuring canopy shading from the sun).

Alternatively join the 1 hour cruise with CALM National Park Authority (included in GG2 tour for those passengers not doing the 2 hour Darngku Heritage Cruise). Passengers taking this option will have a 1 hour waiting time before boarding which can be filled with a walk down the gorge river bank. (The boats used for this cruise do not feature shade/protection from the sun).

On both cruises spot native animals including birds and crocodiles. Following afternoon tea we head back to Broome breaking en route for an optional dinner (own expense) with arrival in Broome approximately 10.30pm.
