Car
If you are driving from Kununurra, head south on the Victoria Highway (National Route 1) for approximately 150 km. Turn left onto the Great Northern Highway (National Route 1) and continue for about 80 km. Look for the signs indicating the turnoff to Galvans Gorge, which is located on a gravel access road off the Great Northern Highway. Follow the gravel road for around 10 km until you reach the gorge parking area. Be aware that a 4WD vehicle is recommended, as the road can be unsealed and bumpy.
Public Transportation
Public transportation options are limited in this region. However, you can take a bus service from Broome to Kununurra. Once in Kununurra, you can hire a local taxi or a shuttle service to Galvans Gorge. Ensure you arrange the taxi in advance, as they may not be readily available. Additionally, check with local tourism offices for any organized tours that may include transportation to Galvans Gorge.
Walking
Once you arrive at the Galvans Gorge parking area, you will need to walk approximately 1 km along a well-marked path to reach the gorge itself. The path is relatively flat and easy to navigate, offering beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and carry water, especially in warmer months.
