    And so it begins. You’ll be collected early for your scenic air tour of the East Kimberley taking in King George Falls, Berkeley River and more as you make your way to the Mitchell Plateau. After landing, your heli-hiking adventure begins with a short heli-transfer to the start of your walk into the Mitchell Falls. On your 4.5 kilometre walk you’ll take in Aboriginal rock art sites, and you’ll arrive in time for a swim and picnic lunch above the falls. The return flight to Kununurra is just as scenic this afternoon, this time taking in the beautiful Cockburn Ranges. From Kununurra you’ll be transferred by road to El Questro Homestead crossing the Pentecost River on the way and arriving in time for pre-dinner drinks.

After taking in the views of the magnificent views of the Chamberlain River, gorges and ranges from the air, you'll land on top of the Cockburn Ranges for a glass of bubbles as the sunsets over the Kimberley landscape.
