Prince Regent National Park

Prince Regent National Park is a nature reserve in the Kimberley region with sandstone plains, rainforests, gorges, and waterfalls throughout. The landscape contains multiple terrain types that shift between open areas and forested valleys, creating varied habitats.

The area became protected in 1964 and received UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status in 1978. This recognition was based on its ecological importance to Western Australia.

The Wunambal and Worrorra peoples have lived on and cared for this land for countless generations. Their presence and knowledge shape how visitors can understand and respect this place today.

Entry requires a permit and is only possible by boat or aircraft since there are no roads to the park. Visitors should expect limited facilities and be prepared for remote conditions.

The Prince Regent River flows in a straight line between vertical cliffs and creates many cascading waterfalls. This unusual formation makes the river a distinctive feature that stands out in the landscape.
