Discover the stunning countyside around Kununurra with the help of an experienced guide. Each walk is between 3 and 5km in length with occassional steep climbs and descents through rugged terrain.

While these walks are not for the faint-hearted, they are designed for genial nature lovers who like a challenge.

So if you are of reasonable fitness and an early riser - why not discover Kununurra on foot. You will need boots or covered in footwear, water (carried in a backpack) and long trousers or gaiters. Your boots may get wet and muddy on some walks - but we promise, the effort will be worth the reward.
