Perched high above the stunning Murchison River Gorge, the Kalbarri Skywalk is one of Western Australia’s most iconic attractions — and for good reason. This jaw-dropping structure juts 25 metres out over the gorge, giving visitors the feeling of floating above ancient red cliffs and winding riverbanks. Located within Kalbarri National Park, the Skywalk combines dramatic natural beauty with clever design, offering one of the best panoramic views you’ll find anywhere in the state.
Whether you’re road-tripping across the Coral Coast or just popping in for a day trip, Kalbarri Skywalk is an absolute must-see. It’s fully accessible with sealed walkways, interpretive signage, and shaded rest areas — making it perfect for all ages and fitness levels. Plus, the Skywalk is part of a broader park experience, so you can pair your visit with hikes to Nature’s Window or Z-Bend Gorge.
If you’re chasing unforgettable views and a proper Kalbarri adventure, the Skywalk delivers in spades.
What to Expect at the Skywalk
- 1. Awe-Inspiring Views
- The Kalbarri Skywalk consists of two cantilevered platforms that extend 25 and 17 meters out over the edge of the gorge. Standing on the Skywalk feels like floating in mid-air as you take in panoramic views of the red-hued cliffs, the winding Murchison River, and the vast, seemingly endless landscape. It’s a photographer’s dream, especially at sunrise or sunset when the light transforms the gorge into a canvas of vivid colours.
- 2. Aboriginal Culture and Interpretive Displays
- The Skywalk isn’t just about the views—it’s also a chance to connect with the rich cultural heritage of the region. Interpretive displays provide fascinating insights into the Nanda people, the traditional custodians of this land, and their deep connection to the area. Keep an eye out for local artworks and stories that enhance the experience.
- 3. Accessibility and Facilities
- The Kalbarri Skywalk is designed for everyone to enjoy. With sealed roads leading to the site, ample parking, and accessible walkways, it’s easy to reach and explore. You’ll also find toilets, picnic facilities, and even a café where you can enjoy refreshments while soaking in the scenery.
Tips For Visiting
- Plan Your Timing: Mornings and evenings are ideal for cooler temperatures and softer lighting for photography.
- Stay Hydrated: While the facilities are excellent, don’t forget to bring water, especially if you plan to explore other parts of Kalbarri National Park. The suggestion is 3 litres per person. Dehydration is a killer. Wearing a well fitting cap is essential…there are plenty at the bottom of the Kalbarri Skywalk.
- Bring Your Camera: Whether you’re snapping selfies or capturing the grandeur of the gorge, the Skywalk provides countless photo opportunities.
- Support Local: Treat yourself to something at the café or purchase locally crafted souvenirs to take a piece of Kalbarri home with you.
