Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Whatever you do don't use this company...if your trip is cancelled through no fault of your own, getting a refund has been unbearably difficult. The excuses made by the owner Rosie have gone on for 5 months. Promise after promise, lies...not good enough.. no it was not us who cancelled the flight to the Bungles Bungles it was them

Our guide was Bec who is a local Gija woman and whose “Country” we were lucky enough to visit and be part of for a day. Bec’s storytelling helped us paint a picture of Purnululu (Bungle Bungles) that only a local custodian could do. Letting us take a glimpse into the way of life, culture, lore and customs, traditions and song lines connected to ‘her country’.
Once we were inside the Cathedral Gorge space and waterway. Bec made us all sit down, put our phones down and become silent as we soaked in the serenity and sacredness of the place. She then sang us a song in local language which I think was welcoming us onto this part of the country as well as honoring her ancestors. It was hauntingly beautiful with the stunning acoustics of the space.
From here we made our way over to Echidna Chasm, which is at the other end of the park. It felt like we were entering ‘Jurassic Park’ as we made our way along the dry river bed, with majestic red rocks and massive palm trees towering over us as we entered the Echidna Chasm. Bec stopping and telling us stories along the way, she sang here too.
Make sure you take plenty of water, sunscreen, camera, good hat and hiking shoes/boots, sense of adventure to soak it all in!
I highly recommend Kingfisher Tours on their Bungles Day Trek which included Cathedral Gorge and Echidna Chasm.

Just had the most amazing walk into the Domes and Cathedral gorge with our wonderful guide Bec Sampi.
Bec was a wealth of knowledge and experience with a bit of humour thrown in.

We were lucky enough to have two tours through Kingfisher Tours, the first was a day Off The Beaten Track with Rosie who was fantastic, vast local knowledge, fantastic scenery and great food to boot. The second was an Extended Day Trip To Purnululu visiting both the Southern Massif including Cathedral Gorge and and Northern Massif including Echidna Chasm. The whole day was amazing as too our wonderful guide Bec....simply remarkable and an absolute pleasure to have her educate us about this Sacred Place. Would highly recommend Kingfisher Tours and these tours to anyone considering them. Well worth it in all respects.

I went on the Bungles Day Trek tour (with Echidna Chasm), flying out of/ into Kununurra. It was a wonderful day out, the scenery was truly impressive, the walks were great (and not difficult), and the experience was made even better by having a wonderfully knowledgeable guide in Bec.

We were joined by Bec from Kingfisher Tours at the Airstrip at Purnululu National Park. The land tour was organised by Air Kimberley who flew us from Broome to The Bungle Bungles. Air Kimberley were excellent & supplied us with delicious snacks & a magnificent picnic lunch. Our pilot Flynn provided an informative commentary on interesting sights as we flew over them.
Bec, a local Gija woman, welcomed us with morning tea, including her freshly baked delicious damper. We then drove with her for approx 15mins to the Bungle Bungles. Her tour was incredible. Not only did we learn about the rock formations, but also her culture, customs, ceremonies & history. When Bec sang a Welcome to Country for us at Cathedral Gorge, another 2 tour groups nearby suddenly fell silent & listened. They like us were transcended to another world. We were certainly fortunate to have Bec from Kingfisher Tours as our guide through The Bungle Bungles. The other tour groups were lucky to be nearby & enjoy Bec's Welcome.

we joined Kingfisher tours for both Mitchell Falls & the Bungle Bungles. both days were GREAT.....Zac the pilot we had both trips made us feel at ease in his small plane and Kohly who was our guide at Mitchell Falls looked after us when crossing wet rocks, climbing up rocks that had nothing to grip on...he was always there looking out for us. He was also informative. Bec, his mother was our guide at the Bungle Bungles and she was amazing...sharing her culture & country with us. She sang a Welcome to Country to us at the Cathedral and oh my.....goosebump moment. She also shared with us a song telling the story of her grandmother...what a special time. morning tea & lunch both days also great and plenty of it.

We took the Bungle Bungle Explorer with Air Kimberley and Bec from Kingfisher Tours led us through the ground portion of this tour. Bec is a Gija woman born and grew up in the Kimberley. Her expert knowledge and authentic experience provided us with real insight into this amazing place. Her damper is pretty good too! Highly recommended.

I can very highly recommend Kingfisher Tours, especially a spiritual and cultural experience with the amazing Rebecca Sampi (known as ‘Bungle Bungle Bec’) in Purnululu National Park. Bec, a local Gija woman who was born and raised in the Kimberley, is the head guide for Purnululu with Kingfisher Tours. Listening to Bec share her stories and listening to her sing the ancient song lines for the area in the natural amphitheatre of Cathedral Gorge, is an absolute tour highlight!

We used Kingfisher to visit two attractions - Mitchell Falls and Purnululu. Rosie was very easy to deal with and looked after our every need. Out flight to Mitchell plateau was great with Zac, and our guides, LT and Bec, at the two attractions were easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and fun to be with.
