Waterfalls

A waterfall experience in one of the last true wilderness areas on Earth is a moment in time you’ll remember forever.

Experience the thrill of nature’s watery cascades surrounded by dramatic gorges millions of years in the making.

The replenishing Tropical Summer rains send waterfalls thundering and cascading throughout the Kimberley, creating inviting plunge pools and enchanting oases of plant and animal life. The best time of year to catch the waterfalls is early in the year, but you'll also find a number of spring-fed falls and swimming spots that flow year-round.

Visit the Kimberley waterfall hotspots around Kununurra, along the Gibb River Road and on the coast. To get to some of the more remote waterfalls you'll need to take a scenic flight or cruise; many others can be reached by road. 

While record rainfall has caused extensive flooding in parts of the Kimberley region, most of the North West remains open and unaffected. 2023 is still a great year to explore our region and witness some truly incredible Wet Season Waterfalls!

Don’t cancel your dream adventure – The Kimberley is still open for business.
