The Berkeley River Lodge
River Cruise
Full-day and half-day Berkeley River cruises led by our resident skipper take in the natural treasures of this tranquil river system. Choose from cruises and gorge hikes to Casuarina Falls, a cooling dip in the secluded waterholes of Berkeley Creek and the chance to spot native flora and fauna, from saltwater crocodiles to rock wallabies and birds of prey.
Guided Hikes
Nature enthusiasts and keen photographers will be captivated by the astonishing diversity of flora, fauna and geological features surrounding The Berkeley River Lodge. Most of our guided hikes are led by our resident nature enthusiast, providing an introduction to the trees, plants and wildlife that inhabit the dunes, grasslands, mangroves and creeks. Our three most popular hikes have been graded on recommended fitness levels and you also have the option of grabbing an ‘Essentials Backpack’ to explore the area on your own.
Fishing Experience
Here, you have the opportunity to fish where only the privileged few have ever cast a line, with some locations so remote, they can only be reached by helicopter. What’s more, the incredible diversity of habitats offers the chance to chase an impressive array of species, from queen fish, threadfin salmon and mulloway to the elusive barramundi.
Wilderness Picnics
Feast on a picnic lunch or a late afternoon antipasto platter, prepared by our renowned chef, beside secluded palm-fringed waterholes, the majestic Mount Casuarina or under our unique ‘Candelabra’ tree.
Helicopter Flights
Jump aboard our luxurious Bell 407 helicopter to venture beyond the four wheel drive tracks to treasures hidden deep within one of the last true wilderness areas on Earth. Gaze in awe at the mighty King George and Mitchell Falls. Watch the sunrise atop Mount Casuarina. Swim in crystal-clear rock pools untouched for hundreds of years. Picnic at Eagle Falls. Or fish some of the remotest spots in the world.
Bush & Beach 4WD Tours
A must for photography enthusiasts, our 4WD tours take in sweeping ocean views, curious rock formations and native wildlife in the early morning and late afternoon, when the colours and contrasts are at their most spectacular.
Sea Turtle Viewing
During nesting season female flatback turtles make the journey to our isolated beaches to lay their clutch of eggs. Join our resident turtle enthusiast for an after-dinner 4WD tour to share a magical moment with these gentle reptiles of the sea.
