If you haven't written your great outback story yet, this is your chance. A round trip from Broome is incredibly efficient for RV travel, completely eliminating the need for one-way drop-off fees while maximizing your time in some of Australia's most breathtaking landscapes. Covering 2,314 km, this loop offers a profound contrast between the tranquil coastal waters and the deep, ancient gorges of the Kimberley region. From kayaking to cave exploration, the sheer variety of activities keeps the journey fresh and exhilarating every single day.
Covering 2,314 km over 9 days requires a steady pace. We always recommend slow travel to fully absorb the environment, so prepare for active days of driving interspersed with highly rewarding physical activities.
This itinerary is packed with diverse experiences. Here is what you will encounter along the way:
The trip begins with a splash. The Turtle Kayak Broome Adventure Co offers a phenomenal kayaking experience, allowing you to observe local wildlife in their natural coastal habitat. Further inland, swimming becomes a daily reward. A major highlight is Galvans Gorge, renowned as the most accessible gorge along the Gibb, providing a perfect spot to cool off after a long drive.
The expectations of exploring Dimalurru (Tunnel Creek) National Park are high, and the reality is even more extraordinary. Wading through this ancient cave system is a unique outback experience that contrasts sharply with the sunny coastal start of your trip.
Long, breathtaking hikes will be your primary challenge and greatest reward. The route features more than 5 distinct hiking areas, each offering superb views, unique exploring spots, and varied terrain. Whether you are navigating rocky outcrops or walking through shaded gorges, the landscape is constantly changing.
Beyond the physical adventures, this route provides opportunities to engage with the local culture. Make time for the art galleries and museums scattered along your path to gain a deeper understanding of the region's heritage.
This specific route is designed for 9 days. However, covering 2,314 km in this timeframe means you will be driving an average of over 250 km per day. If your schedule allows, extending the trip to 12 or 14 days will allow for a more relaxed pace and more time at each hiking area.
Absolutely. If you want a superlative adventure that combines coastal kayaking, deep cave exploration, and iconic outback swimming holes like Galvans Gorge, this trip delivers on every front.
The dry season (typically May through October) is the optimal time for this journey. During the wet season, many roads—especially sections of the Gibb River Road and access to Dimalurru—can become impassable. Always check current road conditions and seasonal closures on rvplan.net before booking.
When planning your Broome round trip, selecting the right vehicle is crucial. Because this route includes areas like Dimalurru and the Gibb River Road, you must verify if your chosen RV is permitted on unsealed roads. Many travelers opt for a 4WD campervan for this specific itinerary. Since this is a round trip returning to Broome, you avoid one-way drop-off fees, making it a highly efficient choice.
When budgeting, factor in your daily rental rate, fuel for the 2,314 km journey, campground fees (a mix of national park sites and private parks), and entrance fees for day tours and national parks. Be sure to check the mileage policy on your rental agreement, as some RVs come with limited daily kilometers.
