Day 1: Kununurra
- Arrive and settle in.
- Walk in Mirima National Park.
- Sunset at Kelly’s Knob or on a Lake Kununurra cruise.
Day 2: Ord River and Lake Argyle
- Full-day Ord River cruise to the Ord River Dam with lunch.
- Evening in town.
Day 3: Bungle Bungles
- Scenic flight or fly-and-walk to Purnululu.
- Depart or stay another night.
Alternative plan with a car
If you hire a car, swap Day 3 for a self-drive to Lake Argyle and a cruise, and do a scenic flight on Day 1 or Day 2.
Tips
- Book the scenic flight early, because flights fill up in peak season.
- Keep the evening of Day 2 free for a relaxed dinner — the full-day cruise is long.
- Carry water and a hat on every outing.
Extending your stay
With an extra day, add El Questro or a day trip to Wyndham.
Budget notes
The full-day Ord River cruise and a Bungle Bungle flight are the two main costs. Balance them with free activities like Kelly’s Knob and Mirima walks.
Frequently asked questions
Is 3 days enough for the East Kimberley?
It covers the essentials from Kununurra, but a week lets you see much more.
Can I do this without a car?
Yes. All the tours on this itinerary include Kununurra pickups.
Which is better: a scenic flight or a fly-and-walk?
A fly-and-walk gives you time on the ground in Cathedral Gorge; a scenic flight alone is shorter and cheaper.
What if my flight arrives late?
Shift the Mirima walk to the morning of Day 2 and do a sunset cruise instead.
What should I pack for three days?
Hat, sunscreen, light long sleeves, walking shoes, swimwear and a refillable water bottle.
