Yes! When you enter the Kimberley, you are well and truly entering ‘Crocodile Country’. But don’t worry: if you act sensibly, you have no need to worry about a crocodile attack. The Kimberley is home two types of crocodiles: freshwater and saltwater. Lake Argyle (Western Australia’s largest manmade reservoir) is home to a population of over 35, 000 freshwater crocodiles. Freshwater crocodiles are mostly harmless (though we don’t recommend that you approach them), and locals consider the lake to be safe for swimming. Saltwater crocodiles – or as the locals call them, ‘salties’ – are more dangerous. Make sure to be crocodile safe – obey any signs warning you of their presence; and in the absence of signs, don’t just assume it’s safe to dive in. Ask a friendly local or inquire at the Kimberley Tourist Station. Bear in mind that all the major gorges on the Gibb River Road are safe. Our guides will choose safe locations for opportunities to swim on the tour.
