Boat tours are a highlight of any visit to the ancient Danggu Geike Gorge but were on hold until recently due to COVID-19 restrictions.

With the arrival of the dry season, now is the perfect time of year to visit the gorge and experience its stunning geology, wildlife and cultural significance.

This special boat tour is now running again with up to four trips daily (May to October). The all-access vessel, Ms Casey Ross, seats 88 people. It is named after the late matriarchal leader of the Danggu clan, traditional owners of Danggu Geikie Gorge National Park.

Danggu Geikie Gorge National Park welcomes more than 70,000 visitors each year and is jointly managed by the Bunuba Dawangarri Aboriginal Corporation and the State Government.

Purnululu National Park is now also open after being closed to the public due to significant road damage over the wet season. Bookings for Walardi and Kurrajong campgrounds can be made online here.
