Stunning views and crystal clear pools - all year round. We have been so fortunate up here in the Kimberley to be able to get out and about to our favourite hideaways throughout this crazy year. Thanks to those people who have taken up the offer of cheap airfares from Perth, we have been able to operate our HOT Tours for the past few weeks to give them a taste of the East Kimberley. We will be running our dry season tours right through to mid-November and with any luck we'll get some early rain to green things up a bit.

Hot Tours is open for business again - officially starting August 3rd to coincide with the influx of visitors the additional flights to Kununurra will bring. We hope! What better way to use those flight credits before they expire, than on a mini-break to the East Kimberley. We are only 3 hours from Perth after all, and there is SO MUCH to see and do up here.

You could fill a week easily and be doing something different and exciting every day. Boat cruising, seaplane sunsets, scenic flights, barra fishing, art and culture, wildlife spotting and of course four-wheel-drive touring with HOT Tours. All you have to do is get here. 

Of course we also welcome our locals without 4WD and those new to town. We'd love to show you around this special region. BOOK NOW!

PS. We have had to scale back or revise some of our tours due to COVID restrictions, so check out our website for the most current tour availability.

Today was ‘Birdlife Saturday’ as we were treated by flocks of Red-Tailed Black Cockatoos swooping through the Spiral Palms on another Mystery Road Tour. The Galahs were also plentiful, as were the Agile Wallabies (Macropus Agilis) which bounded through the tall grasses ahead of our HOT Troopie​ along a bouncy but scenic 4WD track. Our reward was an enjoyable sojourn, wallowing in a crystal clear pool below a spring-fed waterfall surrounded by Livistonia and Spiral Palms intersected by Golden Orb spider webs. Soon after we supped on a delicious morning tea in the shade of an ancient Boab Tree, before journeying on to the mighty Lower Ord River for some ‘Croc’ spotting and more bird watching. Again we were rewarded by sightings of wader birds along the river’s edge, including Brolga and Jabiru.

Out on another Mystery Road Waterfall tour, this time with an Austrian, a Sri Lankan and an Aussie, when one of our precious outback icons, the Frilled Neck Lizard, decides to show off his (or her) frills. Not at all minding the attention, this guy didn't mind posing for a few happy snaps before returning to his tree.

You just never know what you'll come across out on an East Kimberley HOT Tour, especially in the Wet Season.

It's no mystery really why our 'Mystery Road Waterfalls' tour is popular.

The many waterfalls and their pools are an exciting and refreshing way to enjoy yourself and only a short drive from town. The naming of this tour (in case you didn't guess) was inspired by the ABC TV series 'Mystery Road', much of which was filmed on location in the Ngamoowalem Conservation Park, and more specifically at Black Rock Falls.

Although we desperately want more rain this Wet Season, the slow start means HOT Tours can show off this awesome area to locals and visitors alike. Mind you its not all about pristine waterfalls, the wildlife is well and truely out on parade: from Mertens monitors and wallabies, to red-tailed black cockatoos, ospreys and pelicans. We even treat you to a bushtucker favourite - the new growth of a baby boab which has a nutty flavour. 

So until the rains close the road again, the Mystery Road Waterfalls tour will run most mornings.
