• The Hunter River, traditionally known as Yirinni by the Wunambal Gaambera people, offers a rare opportunity to explore an ancient, culturally rich landscape.
• Surrounded by dramatic cliffs and dense mangroves, this remote waterway is teeming with wildlife — from crocs and mudskippers to red crabs and birdlife.
• A favourite activity includes crab hunting in the mangroves, with guests pulling up pots alongside local guides— and often scoring a good catch!
• This is waterfall season, when the landscape transforms with flowing falls and lush greenery, creating dramatic scenery at every turn.
• Whether spotting crocodiles, fishing, or simply taking in the pristine beauty, the Hunter River is a highlight of any Kimberley expedition.
