Visitors guide
Visitors can explore two distinct landscapes: inland river gorges with layered red and white Tumblagooda sandstone cliffs, lookouts and walking trails, and a coastal section with towering sea cliffs, wind-eroded formations and ocean views. Key accessible areas include the Kalbarri Skywalk with twin cantilevered lookouts over the Murchison Gorge, Nature's Window natural rock arch, Z-Bend lookout and river trails, and coastal lookouts such as Natural Bridge and Island Rock.
