5 Must Visits On Your Broome 4WD Hire

Dampier Peninsula

The Dampier Peninsula can be considered a destination in itself. Dominated by pristine white sand, striking pindan cliffs, and sparkling turquoise sea, it's pretty much idyllic in every sense. The best of this area is encapsulated in our Ardi Cultural Drive itinerary, a 5 day tour around this stunning area taking in the highlights of Beagle Bay, Mercedes Cove, Cape Leveque and Cygnet Bay. A perfect location to relax in and soak it all up, meet the amazing wildlife whilst spearfishing, reef walking or snorkeling and embrace the rich cultures.

Windjana Gorge National Park

A unique stop whilst travelling the Gibb River Road, Windjana Gorge provides the perfect place for a picnic and hike to explore. Carved out by the Lennard River, the gorge itself is 3.5km long and 30m high in places and provides an opportunity to meet the local wildlife - namely freshwater crocodiles that bask in the pools, and fruit bats and corellas that roost in waterside trees. 

The Savannah Walk that starts at the campground and takes in the length of the gorge showcasing the South Eastern Wall and the plants and animals of the woodlands. Choose the Time Walk to experience the marine life forms fossilised within the gorge walls.

El Questro

Set deep in the heart of the Kimberley region, El Questro is a destination like no other. Stretching 700,000 acres, the property provides visitors the freedom to explore an untamed natural beauty - thermal springs, cascading waterfalls, rainforest and salt flats. You'll find it all in El Questro.

Using the El Questro homestead as a base, you can choose to camp in your 4WD camper, or enjoy the luxury of their accommodation. Use it as a base to explore the ancient gorges lined with tropical gardens and waterfalls, majestic lookouts and many hikes and treks taking in the best of the flora and fauna. Short on time? Embark on a helicopter tour for a few hours to soak up the best of this expansive area from a unique viewpoint.

Cable Beach

Take the time to visit Broome's famous Cable Beach and enjoy the 22km of white sand, bordered on one side by the Indian Ocean and on the other by sand dunes and ochre red cliffs. Just a couple minutes drive from downtown Broome, it's no wonder this place is so popular with those who pass through the area. Although in saying that, even in peak season it would be classed as uncrowded. 

There are a multitude of activities to enjoy whilst at Cable Beach, including the iconic camel rides. Combine this with a walk in the evening to soak up the spectacular ocean sunset with colours ranging from purples to golds to fiery reds. There is even camping close by so you can really spend every last moment in Broome soaking up this local gem.

King Leopold Ranges Conservation Park

Situated just north of Derby, the King Leopold Ranges rise 300m above the surrounding planes. The sunburnt landscapes on the ranges back are contrasted starkly by areas of river gum, paperbark and screw pine that provides a cover for the watercourses that run through the area.

Bell Creek Gorge is one of the must visits destinations while exploring the area, and is often touted as one of the most beautiful gorges along the Gibb River Road. Access to the water is on foot, and can be a little tougher going than some of the other hikes in the area, although once you get there, the cascading waterfall and u-shaped cliffs more than reward the effort. For those keen on exploring, you can venture further up or downstream and float down the pools and shallow rapids to discover some great views back into the gorge itself.
