Hike the Bungle Bungle Range

Overview

The Bungle Bungle Range lies within the World Heritage-listed Punululu National Park, a dramatic landscape of cliffs, palm trees and seasonal waterways. Take a day hike through this magical place with the sustainably operated Kingfisher Tours. That means treading lightly in the environment, supporting the community and honouring the Traditional Owners of Gija and Jaru Country, who lead these experiences as expert guides with deep ties to the land.

There are walks ranging from 5–11 hours, where you can take in Cathedral Gorge, Echidna Chasm and the Beehive Dome Botanicals walk. You'll be guided by Aboriginal custodians, sharing their knowledge of country, history and storytelling. A lunch of bushtucker or local produce is included.

If you'd rather see the country from above, a two-hour flight lets you behold it all by air, viewing the network of beehive-shaped natural stone towers in all their maze-like complexity, tracing the orange and grey banded patterns across the formations. It took 30 million years for the scenery to get this breathtaking, so you simply must take an afternoon to enjoy it.
