Red Rocks, Deep Gorges, and Endless Horizons

Welcome to Kalbarri — a place where red cliffs, turquoise waters, and small-town charm come together like nowhere else on Earth.


Tucked along Western Australia’s Coral Coast, Kalbarri is more than just a stop on the map — it’s a destination that grabs hold of your heart. Whether you’re here for the epic landscapes, the wildlife, or just a good old-fashioned beachside escape, Kalbarri has something for everyone.

A Town With a View (And Then Some)

Kalbarri sits right at the mouth of the Murchison River, where it flows out into the Indian Ocean. On one side you’ve got dramatic coastal cliffs — the kind you see in postcards — and on the other, a peaceful river perfect for kayaking, fishing, or just floating your worries away.
