~~ 01-Apr-2023 to 31-Mar-2024~~Valid for 01APR23-31MAR24:
Meet your local tour guide in the shaded picnic area at Bellburn Airstrip - Purnululu National Park, 30 minutes prior to the tour departure. The tour begins with approx. 25-minute drive to the start of the walk through the stunning Bungle Bungle Domes, where you will see the famous orange banded beehive dome structures, often beautifully contrasted by vivid blue sky. Follow your guide to Cathedral Gorge, where you will be surrounded by impressive towering cliffs, and experience the phenomenal natural acoustics of the Gorge. Board the 4WD bus again for approx. 45 - 60 minute drive to the northern end of the Park. A tasty picnic lunch will be provided to keep you fueled for your explorations. After lunch, follow your tour guide on a 1.5-hour return walk into the incredible Echidna Chasm. The rocky path you follow on this walk weaves between towering cliff faces, and at times will narrow to a width of less than two-metres. Gazing skywards to the bright blue sky, the orange towering walls look as if they are lit from within, and are scattered with Livistona palm trees clinging to the walls. This walk requires you to climb over boulders and navigate stairs, so we recommend this tour to those with a high level of mobility.~~~~

~~ 01-Apr-2024 to 31-Mar-2025~~Valid for 01APR24-31MAR25:
Join your fellow travellers on this unique small group guided tour. After your briefing, board a helicopter to fly over the south west of the Bungle Bungle to “Y” Gorge before landing at the mouth of spectacular Piccaninny Gorge. Your guide will lead the hike into the gorge and tell you about the area’s cultural significance to the Aboriginal people and it’s unique history, which led to the World Heritage listing of Purnululu. The hike is up to 10km return and requires a high level of fitness and mobility. The rocky creek bed of Piccaninny Gorge is classed as a level 5 walk. Your return helicopter flight.~~~~
