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.

    I walked the Bigurda Trail, which is a 8km hike, starting at the Natural Bridge and going to the Eagle Gorge. I walk fairly fast, and it only took me a bit over 90 minutes, but most people should allow 2-3 hours. I had a vehicle pick me up at the end.

    Most of the trail is just rough gravel, and you'll need sun protection and water. Most of it is right on the edge of the cliff-top, and views are spectacular. Highly recommended!

    Of all the many walkways and viewpoints around Kalbarri, I'd have to say Red Bluff was my favourite. It just off the road to the left as you drive into Kalbarri from the Geraldton side and as luck would have it, it was the first thing we did when we arrived in the area, picking it almost at random from the many opportunities to turn off the road. Well, what an introduction to Kalbarri!
    The red cliffs are so vibrant when set against the azure blue of the ocean and on our visit, the perfect blue of the sky.
    The walkway is easy and loop along the clifftops. You get great views out to see and along the coast to Kalbarri town itself. There is plenty of parking and also quite a few info boards telling you about the flora, fauna and history of shipwrecks.
    Stunning place and a sit is not inside Kalbarri National Park, it is completely free to do.

    It’s a big pink lake that smells bad.

    It’s very photogenic and makes for a great insta post but it’s a challenge to get too down steep sand dunes with no real access.

    The shore line is crusty and dirty so no white shoes!

    Looks fab though and time of day is really important for ‘that’ photo otherwise the water looks blue like a normal lake…

    Recommend that you visit early morning or mid to late afternoon from November onwards to avoid the heat. Other than that, definitely well worth a visit.

    We stayed in Kalbarri 2x. the first time was planned the second time because of change of plans. This was with Easter so on the internet I could not book anything. We called the visitor centre and they were able to assist us. Very friendly staff. Clean toilets behind the visitor centre. Nice enough shop too and clear information outside as well, so when they are closed the is information too.

    We spent the afternoon here. Beautiful clear water with small swells breaking at our feet. Calm enough to enjoy a swim without struggling with waves although it was great watching the waves breaking on the rock shelf out further.

    We had a lovely stop at Eagle Gorge. The views of the sea and cliffs were mesmerising. Kalbarri is full of these gems, lookout points and trials along the cliffs. Eagle Gorge was lovely, the sea was rough so plenty of spray below but the blue skies and sun made the day just perfect.

    We loved the Ross Graham Lookout. I wouldn't say it is off the beaten track, not at all, its a short drive down a sideroad in Kalbarri Natinal Park but is well signed and the road is excellent. No, its just that most people tend to go to Nature's Window and Z Bend -and rightly so -but not as many come here.
    But they a re missing out! Amazing views of the river below and on our visit there were plenty of Kangaroos hopping about down there.
    We stayed for ages just drinking in the peace and quiet and it turned out to be one of our very favourite stops in Kalbarri N.P.

    The Zuytdorf Cliffs were stunning. On our visit with the bright sun above the contrast between the red cliffs and the azure blue of the sea was just breathtaking. There was enough of a breeze too to make the waves crash against the base. Some lovely walks in the area, well maintained and well marked.

    Nice white sand beach stretching both sides of the jetty and access ramp. A few 4WD on the beach, possibly belonging to the boats at anchor near the shore. The exposed reef is better viewed from the lookout, fairly spectacular on the day with waves breaking the exposed sections. Not sure why the place is called Port Gregory when all maps and my GPS have it recorded vas Gregory.

    If you want to get an overall view of Kalbarri this is the place to do it. Again...the paths & lookout & surrounding area is so well kept it's a credit to WA. Very easy access to the lookout.

    General scenery is very nice and rugged but there’s nothing too exciting about Pot Alley as a standalone feature. Worth visiting.

    Nice trail but I still haven’t seen the mushroom. Rainbow Valley itself was pretty good and the walk takes you right down to the ocean rocks. Very nice way to spend a couple of hours.
