For international visitors, a trip to Rottnest Island / Wadjemup and Perth / Boorloo is top of their Western Australian bucket list. For Aussies, however, we revere travel to our far-flung regions. The ones that remind us of our connection to our land and deepen our understanding of what it means to be Australian. Places like the Kimberley region.
In spite of floods in the Kimberley region in December, our mates at Viva Holidays have let us know this incredible destination is ready to welcome you for the coming season and is the must-see Australian hotspot of 2023. Only a skim of the photos here will tell you why, but Viva Holidays have some sweet deals that prove that now is the time to travel to the Kimberley.
We recently shared the countless ways that this region of Western Australia is the place of dreams. It’s a place to quiet your mind and breathe in the magic. A transcendent landscape that comes alive as its ancient stories are shared.
The Kimberley is a far cry from the everyday. Swap vast to-do lists for vast gorges. Forget dreaming of escaping that could-have-been-an-email meeting and make a splash into the Kimberley’s crystal-clear rock pools instead. Let the blah blah blah of PTA meetings, supermarket queues, and price hikes wash away under the thunder of a waterfall billions of years in the making.
The Kimberley is a place to ground, and while you’ll wash away the red dust on your return home, it’s an imprint that never leaves you. A trip to the Kimberley is so much more than a holiday; it’s a place where reality and the otherworldly combine.

Kimberley highlights
Let’s just take a moment to unpack how much is crammed into this Viva Holidays tour! With so much to see, we’ve picked out our top four tour highlights!
4. Horizontal Falls
A seaplane and a cruise at the natural phenomenon of the Horizontal Falls! It’s one of only two waterfalls in the world that flows vertically, and it’s idyllic to experience from both the air and by boat.
3. The Bungle Bungle Range
Then there is the Bungle Bungle Range in Purnululu National Park. Pictures do the orange-and-black-striped domes of this natural phenomenon no justice. It’s a site that inexplicably stirs something deep in your soul.
2. El Questro
El Questro is another iconic landmark out this way. Away-from-it-all is one way to describe time spent on its 700,000 acres along the Gibb River Road. It is also frequently described as stunning, amazing, wonderful, and out-of-this-world. Take us now!
1. Gateway to the Kimberley
It wouldn’t be a trip to the Kimberley without time spent in Broome. The western gateway to this spectacular region of northern Western Australia, Broome charms with the squeaky white sands of Cable Beach / Walmanyjun and the glistening Indian Ocean beckoning you in for a refreshing dip. Broome’s multicultural town, including Old Broome, Chinatown, presents a relaxing stay filled with an array of fab places to eat and drink.
