You’ll be greeted in Kununurra at 8.00am by your hosts, Laura and Christian Hayes, who will pick you up from your accommodation and head out for the Gibb River Road. Please make sure you have had a bite to eat and are dressed for riding. You will meet the crew and horses on the border of Doon Doon Station and El Questro Station before heading straight out on horseback, meandering through savanna woodland and an area of significance to the Woolah (Doon Doon) and Ngarinyin people who are the traditional owners of Wilinggin country. We will stop for lunch at Wild Dog thermal springs for a bite to eat and a dip, before heading towards Canteen cattle yards through spinifex and Bauhinia trees with views over the Cockburn Range. After arriving into camp and getting the horses settled for the night, there is the opportunity to go fishing for Barramundi. Let’s see who can claim the biggest catch! Tonight you will camp out beside a beautiful Kimberley waterhole in an area scattered with ancient old Boab trees. (Approx 5-6 hours riding)

Wake to the Cockburn Range glowing from the morning light and enjoy an early breakfast amongst the Savannah woodland. Today we saddle up and ride towards the creek system that feeds the Pentecost River, passing the famous El Questro Station road sign and remnants of past pastoral owners. You’ll ride amongst the unique plant life of the Kimberley. Tonight’s campsite is at a beautiful swimming hole known as Rocket’s Retreat. Sit back after sunset for a night around the campfire under an ancient old boab tree on the banks of the billabong. (Approx 5 hours riding)

Another early morning start where you’ll wake to the smells of a cooked breakfast and billy tea. Help feed the horses, pack up camp and saddle up for the day ahead. Today’s ride will take you through the Kimberley hills and over Saddleback Gap through beautiful orange blossom Scarlett gum trees. You will stop for lunch under the shade of the trees before dropping down into the valley to Brumby Base. Brumby base is our camp set on the banks of the Pentecost river, there is no swimming at tonight’s camp as it is known to occasionally have a crocodile or two! (Approx 5 hours riding)

Today is a highlight where you’ll be riding out from Brumby base to Nag Hole following the beautiful rock escarpment hugging the Pentecost river. We travel through the Spear Gate Valley before dropping down into our private horse camp, Nag Hole which is set on the banks of Moonshine Creek. We’ll ride into camp during the early afternoon, where, after tending to the horses, you can take full advantage of another splendid swimming hole then sit back with a drink in hand around the campfire and watch another beautiful Kimberley sunset. (Approx. 4 hours riding)

Your final day of riding – after waking to the smell of a delicious cooked breakfast, you’ll saddle up and head to Zebedee hot springs via the stunning Moonshine Gorge. You’ll see plenty of wildlife along the way and cross the pristine Moonshine Creek, before stopping at the springs for a secluded dip in the thermal pools and lunch amongst the shaded trees and pandanas. After lunch you’ll ride on to the El Questro Station township before arriving into the station. After tending to the horses, we’ll show you to your riverside Bungalow accommodation. You’ll enjoy pre dinner drinks with some music at the Swinging Arms Bar before we head to the Steakhouse Restaurant for a riverside dinner. (Approx 5 hours riding)

Breakfast will be served at the ‘cricket pitch’ grass area. For those wanting the thrill of a helicopter ride (an additional expense of approx $250 per person for a 20min scenic flight), now is your chance! After this, we’ll head to Emma Gorge to hike one of the Kimberley’s most iconic and beautiful gorges. Have a swim in the pristine spring and take a moment to absorb the colours of this amazing land formation. Today you purchase your own lunch at Emma Gorge and we’ll bid a sad farewell to El Questro before we transfer you back to Kununurra, arriving in the town around 2:00pm. Departing flights can be booked anytime after 3pm.

You will need to fly into Kununurra the day before your ride begins (accommodation at your own expense), so you’re ready for a pick up from your accommodation on day 1 of your ride. On the final day, please book return flights after 3pm.

Each night a hot shower and a toilet will be available (rustic, but clean). We will provide you with a mosquito net and a comfortable swag with bedding and a pillow. A swag is a canvas cover with a mattress inside. Our helpful camp staff will assist you daily where needed. All meals are prepared daily from the camp kitchen trailer. Please make us aware of any dietary requirements.
