When to visit

The best time to visit Kununurra is during the dry season, which runs from April to September. During this time, the weather is warm and sunny, making it ideal for outdoor activities. The wet season, from October to March, brings heavy rainfall and high humidity, which can make some areas inaccessible. However, this is also the time when the landscape is lush and green, offering a different perspective for visitors.

Getting around

Getting around Kununurra is relatively easy, with options including rental cars, taxis, and guided tours. The town is compact, making it possible to explore on foot or by bicycle. For those looking to venture further afield, hiring a car is recommended to access the more remote attractions such as the Bungle Bungle Range and Lake Argyle. Boat tours on the Ord River are also a popular way to see the area.

Traveller tips

Make sure to pack sunscreen and insect repellent, as the sun can be intense and there are mosquitoes in the area. Be prepared for varying weather conditions, especially if visiting during the wet season. Respect the local Indigenous culture and traditions when visiting art galleries or participating in cultural tours. Book tours and activities in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons. Try the local cuisine, which often features fresh seafood and Indigenous ingredients. Take advantage of the stunning sunsets over Lake Kununurra for memorable photo opportunities.
