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.

Went on a wonderful walk to the Domes and Cathedral Gorge in the Bungle Bungles, guided by the friendly and knowledgeable Bec.
Bec taught us about the natural and human history of the area, discussed the cultural and spiritual uses of the area and answered innumerable questions.
It was hot and Bec checked several times to be sure we were well hydrated.
I highly recommend Kingfisher Tours for those interested in delving into the history and nature of this part of Australia.

The Bungle Bungles are an extraordinary destination.
What made the visit unforgetable was to be able to spend the day trecking and 4WD driving with our guides Bek and her grandson Dray, local aboriginal people. They were so kind, so open to questions, so knowledgable about the area and so happy to answer all those questions you might have ever wanted to ask about life for aboriginal people in the remote WA Top End.
THANK YOU Bek, Dray & Kingfisher Tours owner Rosie

From the scenic flight in with Zac from Kununurra over Lake Argyle to birds eye view of the Bungle Bungles this tour was awesome. Our guide Kolya enhanced our walks in Echidna Chasm and Piccaninny Gorge/ Cathedral with talks on country and indigenous culture, a highlight listening to another guide, Bec, singing in the gorge. Accomodation at the safari camp was luxury in the outback.
Rosie was fantastic with arranging this trip and was flexible with alterations when our flight home changed. Thanks for a magical experience Kingfisher Tours!

What an amazing trip!
Departed Kununurra on an early morning flight to Mitchell Plateau.
The scenery was awe inspiring!
Arrived at Mitchell Plateau where we met our fantastic guides Kolya aka LT and Treylin aka Dr Dre- Their knowledge of the area was very Informative. LT & Dr Dre has a great sense of humour too!
Then we had a remarkable helicopter flight over the Mitchell Falls - what an experience!! Followed by a leisurely 2.5 hour trek - from the top of the Mitchell and Big Mertens Falls - and swimming at the bottom of Little Mertens Falls - wonderfully refreshing!!!
Reluctantly departing we flew Back to Kununurra at 'Golden hour' viewing scenery of gorges, rivers and the Cockburn Ranges! Arriving back in Kununurra at sunset!!
Thanks Zac the pilot for the smooth flights!
Highly recommend Kingfisher Tours

A magical experience of Purnululu and a top-quality tour. Flying over the Bungle Bungles and Lake Argyle, walking through Cathedral Gorge and Echidna Chasm, witnessing art dating thousand of years old, listening to dreamtime stories and the local tribes - it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I’ll never forget and worth every penny. Kolya and Eddy were thoughtful and informative hosts who took the time to answer all our questions and share stories about their people and culture. Zac was a friendly and responsible pilot who kept us safe in the air. We were treated to homemade damper for morning tea, a delicious box of goodies for lunch and then a cheeseboard for afternoon tea. Thank you for sharing your culture and country with us!

Bec Our First Nations Tour guide was excellent. She was informative and extremely knowledgeable of not only the area but also bush tucker. She had a great sense of humour and provided us with a fabulous performance of a traditional song in the Cathedral Gorge.
She went way beyond her role by sharing some of her wonderful memories.
Highly recommend this tour combined with Kimberley air

Beck our guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable . She knew so much of the history and cultural of the land. Superb 4WD handling. We saw black rock waterfall, middle spring, Molly falls and the Grotto. My kids swam in all the waterfalls, dived, attempted to fish and had the best time. Lunch and morning tea was served picnic style. Will be back for sure.

Our family of 5 was lucky enough to jump on a ground tour at Mitchell Falls with Kingfisher Tours, and we are so glad we did! The whole day was such an amazing experience and highlight for our family. Our Indigenous guide Kolya was very knowledgeable with a great sense of humour and we enjoyed learning about the culture of the area. He was great at engaging our 3 young children who especially enjoyed learning about bush tucker. Kolya was a very professional guide, whilst ensuring we had an enjoyable safe tour. Kingfisher tours were great to deal with and the booking process and communication was seamless. We highly recommend them and look forward to booking another tour with them in the future.

The day tour to Mitchell Falls was absolutely fantastic! It was well organized and very informative. The flight from Kunnunarra was amazing, scenery stunning, helicopter ride to the falls with a great view of the falls, swim above the falls and beautiful hike back on the plateau with lunch and more swimming. An outstanding day. Thanks Rosie!

Not only one but both my tours with this company were cancelled. I had to follow up with this company every time, not once did I receive a call back as stated by them. Seems as though they need a lot more admin assistance as it was hard enough to get a hold of someone on the phone, even showed up at their office during office hours but it was closed. Rosie who I dealt with was very lovely and did provide a complementary drink bottle for the inconvenience, but it still was very frustrating to deal with this company. I wish I would have just gotten a refund after my tours were cancelled instead of waiting on them to “help” reschedule a time for me.

Hello Olivia,
We are very sorry that we were unable to deliver your tours and the impact this had on your holiday.
We sincerely hope you managed to get on to alternative tours with other companies in Kununurra.
We did endeavour to get you on to our tours departing from Broome, which you were cc'd into the emails so you were aware that the tours were waitlisted. We are sorry if this line of communication was confusing.
We are a small, family owned business, and as are many of the companies in the Kimberley Regions, we have been effected by staffing issues over the 'covid' era.
We have a small team who work tirelessly throughout the season to deliver our tour products. We understand the circumstances for the tour cancellations were less than ideal, they were for us as well. We are never pleased to be put in the position where we can not service our tours.
Take care,
Kingfisher Tours
