Karijini Tours

There are a variety of tours available;

  • Lestok Tours  - conduct guided tours of Karijini.  They also have a Hamersley Gorge Tour as well as Rio Tinto's Tom Price mining operation which is one of the most popular tours in the Pilbara.  LeStok Tours suit passengers wishing to stay in the area for the week.

  • The Flying Sandgroper -  their shuttle service around the Karirijini National Park is due to start again around April 2023 - is a great way to experience exploring Karijini, with a service over 2 days that mix adventure, nature and culture in the most beautiful part of the WA Outback.  Need to be reasonably agile for this tour.  The Flying Sandgroper Tour suits those wishing to spend a couple of days in the area before moving on.
