If you're heading to Kalbarri and wondering where to get your steps in (with a side of wow-factor), you're in the right place. Whether you're after a half-day hike or a gentle nature trail, Kalbarri delivers the goods with rugged gorges, red rock cliffs, and ocean views that’ll have your camera working overtime.
Here are five of our all-time favourite trails to explore while you’re here:
3–5 hours | Moderate–Hard
Home to the Insta-famous Nature’s Window, this 9 km hike is a must-do for adventurers. It winds through rugged terrain along the Murchison River and offers some of the most spectacular gorge views in the park. Make sure you bring plenty of water and start early — especially if you're visiting outside the cooler months (May to October is best!).
1–1.5 hours | Moderate
A favourite among visitors for good reason. This trail takes you down into the gorge for a closer look at the river below. Expect a bit of rock scrambling and a short climb back up, but you’ll be rewarded with peaceful views and a real sense of being immersed in nature.
2–3 hours | Easy–Moderate
Love a good coastal walk? The Bigurda Trail is an 8 km stretch of jaw-dropping cliffs and ocean views, running from Eagle Gorge to Natural Bridge. It’s especially magical in whale season (July–October), so keep an eye on the water!
1 hour | Easy
This short 2 km loop is a great family-friendly trail, winding through unique rock formations that have been shaped by time (and a lot of wind!). It’s an easy one to tick off in the morning or late afternoon, with stunning coastal views the whole way.
15–30 mins | Easy & Accessible
Not so much a hike, but still an absolute must-see. The Kalbarri Skywalk features two dramatic cantilevered platforms that jut out over the Murchison Gorge — giving you that “wow, I’m really up here” feeling. It’s an easy stroll from the car park and suitable for all ages and fitness levels.
