Can you heli-hike the Kimberley?
There are several commercial options to heli-hike the Kimberley. The most popular options offer spectacular views of gorges, waterfalls and the Cockburn Ranges. Admire the King River, King Gorge Falls and the Berkeley River Gorges from above as you make your way to the Mitchell Plateau and Mitchell Falls.
How long is the El Questro Gorge Walk?
The El Questro Gorge Walk is 7.2 km long. Although more challenging, this is a fun walk through the narrow gorge with steep rock walls. It takes hikers anywhere between 3 to 5 hours to complete. For those wanting to avoid boulder climbing, there is the option to return after reaching the halfway pool. If you have the time and the upper body strength, it's definitely worth continuing all the way to the El Questro Waterfall and plunge pool.
Is the El Questro Gorge Walk difficult?
The El Questro Gorge Walk is one of the more challenging but also most spectacular Kimberley hikes. The first part of the walk is fairly easy, but passing the halfway pool will require you to swim and climb up a 3m tall boulder. From there, you will have to climb more rocks and walls. This could be difficult for those lacking upper strength or for young children.
