TOUR ITINERARY

​

This itinerary may vary slightly depending on environmental circumstances, client needs, park closures and/or road conditions.  

​

Training Day: Mountain Quarry Boya - Date to be confirmed; 0900 - 1300 approximately 

As part of this tour and to prepare each participant, a full training in Perth prior to the tour departure is included. During this session, we will learn to abseil and via ferrata. This day will be fully catered.

​

DAY 1. Travel & Arrive

The first day would be comprised of a flight from Perth to Paraburdoo Airport, we drive approximately 1.5 hours to the Karijini Eco Retreat to settle into our accomodation and get ready for dinner. Over dinner we will provide a comprehensive briefing of the adventures ahead.

If you are driving, we will meet you at the Karijini Eco Retreat.


DAY 2. Weano Descent

We enter this stunning gorge and journey to Handrail Pool, using our tubes and hand paddles, to paddle to the entrance of Jade Pool (aptly named due to its jade coloured water). This is the entrance to the class 6 part of this gorge. We then via ferrata along an edge above Jade Pool and travel to the Amphitheatre for morning tea. We will then hook in for the 45m Waterfall descent!!! This awesome waterfall plunges deep into the heart of Karijini. Once at the bottom we will break for lunch. We then paddle across Junction Pool, where we exit via the Centre of the Earth, up the Chute with a hand line, and climb out on ropes (approximately 10m) on to a ledge overlooking the stunning Jimmy Regan's Pool. We then via ferrata along the ledge to Kermit's Pool, to exit via the Spider Walk and the rest of Hancock Gorge.


DAY 3. Joffre Journey

This stunning gorge is only operated by us, and we believe it is the hidden jewel of Karijini ;) It is the longest trip we will do, and requires the whole day 0800-1700 to complete.

We walk into the gorge from the Eco Retreat, from class 2 to a water jump into class 6, and spend the day paddling our tubes for the entire length of this amazing gorge, which includes waterfalls, beautiful red banded ironstone walls up to 100m high, turquoise crystal clear waters, wildlife, serenity and the ancient ambiance that is Karijini. We will stop at the base of Enchanted Gorge Waterfall for lunch. We then exit the same way we did the previous day, via Junction Pool, Centre of the Earth, and Hancock Gorge.

This is a full day and you will be one of the very few that have done this amazing adventure ;)


DAY 4. Red Gorge Adventure

This will complete the class 6 canyon part of our Karijini Adventure, with an awesome water slide into Knox Gorge, followed by a small abseil (approx. 8m) into Red Gorge, where we will spend most of the day paddling the entire length of the gorge to Junction Pool, having lunch along the way at the base of Weano Waterfall, and exit the same way as the other two trips...which is a view we don't believe you will tire of ;)

We will also have a quick look around the corner up Wittenoom Gorge, which is a multi-day Canyoning, Bushwalking & Camping trip we are working on. This might entice you to join us in the future ;)


DAY 5. Mount Bruce Hike, & Return to Perth

On the last day we will hike to the summit summit of Mount Bruce. This will afford us an awesome panoramic view of the Park and the Pilbara landscape. We will have a packed breakfast for this trip, as we will depart before sunrise and have breakfast on the summit.

Following our hike, we will depart Mount Bruce and drive to Paraburdoo to catch our flight back to Perth.
