Getting there

Car

If you're starting from Kununurra, head south on Victoria Highway (National Route 1) for approximately 200 km. Then, turn left onto the Great Northern Highway (National Route 1) and continue for about 60 km until you reach the turn-off for the Gibb River Road. Follow the Gibb River Road for approximately 120 km, and look for the signpost directing you towards Mitchell River National Park. This area is unsealed, so a 4WD vehicle is recommended. The drive may take around 3 to 4 hours, depending on road conditions.

Public Transportation

There are limited public transport options available in the Kimberley region. The best route is to take a bus from Kununurra to Derby. From Derby, you can arrange a local tour company that offers trips to Mitchell River National Park. Make sure to book in advance, as these services may not run daily. The bus journey from Kununurra to Derby takes about 8 hours, and the tour to the park can take an additional day, depending on the provider. Costs vary, so check with local companies for current rates.

Chartered Flights

For a quicker option, consider booking a charter flight from Kununurra to a nearby airstrip close to Mitchell River National Park. Several companies provide this service, and it greatly reduces travel time to around 30 minutes. Prices vary widely, so it's advisable to contact charter companies in advance for quotes. Note that additional transport will likely be needed to reach the park entrance from the airstrip.

Rental Car

If you prefer more flexibility, renting a 4WD vehicle in Kununurra is an excellent option. Make sure to reserve your vehicle in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons. Once you have your vehicle, follow the directions provided under the 'Car' guidance. This option allows you to explore other attractions along the way.
