The Journey to Berkeley: Your Flight Experience

Remote. Rugged. Remarkable. Because there are no roads to the Berkeley River Lodge, your wilderness adventure begins the moment your feet leave the ground. Your 5-night all-inclusive stay includes return flight transfers from Darwin, offering a birds-eye view of the untouched Kimberley coastline.

Essential Luggage & Weight Requirements

Operating in one of the most remote corners of Australia requires strict adherence to aircraft payloads. To ensure a safe and smooth journey for all guests, we kindly ask for your cooperation with the following:
Luggage weight Limit: Each guest is permitted a maximum of 10kg of luggage.
Soft Bags Only: All luggage must be in soft-sided bags (duffel style). Hard-shell suitcases cannot be accommodated in the aircrafts cargo pod.
Guest Weights: To calculate the aircraft's safe takeoff weight, we require the body weight of all passengers at the time of booking.
Why the strict limits? We use specialised charter aircraft designed for remote landings. These weight restrictions ensure maximum safety and performance over the rugged Kimberley terrain.

From the swirling turquoise waters of the Timor Sea to the deep red gorges of the Berkeley River, this 75-minute flight is more than a transfer, its the first highlight of your stay.
