Visit the Kimberley

Discover more about tourism in the Kimberley region.

Tourism is one of the Kimberley’s iconic industries, yet visitation statistics can be difficult to quantify due to the far-reaching nature of expenditure by visitors. We recommend that interpretation of visitation statistics be done in conjunction with other information sources such as Australian Bureau of Statistics, feedback from local operators, and information from local Visitor Centres.

According to Tourism WA, for the past 10 years over 50% of visitors to the region are domestic from within Australia. Top international markets to the region included Germany,  United States of America and the United Kingdom. Among all domestic and international visitors to the region, more than 50% are drawn to the Kimberley for holiday or leisure.

The emergence of COVID-19 has undoubtedly impacted on the Kimberley region’s tourism and hospitality industries. Below are links to overnight visitor factsheets prepared by Tourism WA Strategy and research in June 2020 and based on a rolling three year average 2017/18/19. The links below may be useful for those interested in better understanding profile of visitors to the Kimberley, devise recovery or enhancement strategies for their businesses, or support grant applications:

Kimberley national parks tourism season update

The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) and joint management partners plan to safely re-open the Kimberley’s national parks and conservation areas to visitors, as the region continues its recovery from unprecedented flooding in January.

DBCA Regional Manager Kimberley Craig Olejnik said the majority of the Kimberley’s national parks will be open this tourism season.

“Traditional owners have been instrumental in recovery operations and getting parks ready to open in 2023,” Mr Olejnik said.

“East Kimberley parks including the popular Purnululu National Park World Heritage area will be open for business as usual to the public and commercial tour operators.

“In the West Kimberley, popular sites Dimalurru (Tunnel Creek), Dulundi (Silent Grove), Walarra Mindi (Mt Hart), and Lennard Gorge will open pending confirmation of safe access via Gibb River Road and other local access roads and completion of geotechnical and arborist assessments.

“However, significant flood damage to visitor infrastructure and post-flood visitor safety risks at Danggu Geikie Gorge National Park and Bandilngan (Windjana Gorge) National Park mean they will remain closed for the rest of 2023.”

Danggu Geikie Gorge National Park’s closure also means the Danggu Geikie Gorge boat tours won’t operate this season.

Danggu Geikie Gorge and Bandilngan (Windjana Gorge) national parks are jointly managed by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions and Bunuba Traditional Owners, who have requested time for Country to heal and for those who speak for Country to reconnect with flood-affected areas.

“Many areas of the Kimberley were not impacted by flooding, and I encourage travellers to visit and support those communities and tourism businesses in the coming months,” Mr Olejnik said.

“The majority of national parks will be open, but for your own safety and out of respect for traditional owners, please do not attempt to access closed parks.”
