Planning tips

Combine activities by geography. The Ord River cruise and Lake Argyle can share a day, as can Wyndham and El Questro. Keep a free afternoon for rest — the heat can be draining even in the dry season.

For families

The Lake Kununurra cruises, Mirima walks and town parks suit families. Many scenic flights and cruises have child prices, but check minimum ages.

Rainy-day or hot-day options

Art centres, galleries and local cafes offer welcome air-conditioned breaks. The visitor centre has displays on the region and can help with last-minute bookings.
