Attractions Nearby to Karijini Eco Retreat
Guests can explore the majestic Karijini on their own at their own pace - as all the gorges are clearly sign posted and the walking trails well marked. The walks are truly the best way to appreciate the spectacular surrounds of Karijini National Park and you can immerse yourself in its absolute beauty, grandeur, cultural and historical significance.
Circular Pool - It is a loose, steep descent, then an easy ramble to the hidden gardens of Circular Pool (800m return). This is an arduous walk so you must allow at least 2 hours return.
Dales Gorge - A 4 kilometre return trail runs along the bottom of the gorge. Allow 3 hours for the return walk.
Gorge Rim Walk and Circular Pool Lookout - A 1.2 kilometre return trail runs along the rim of Dales Gorge.
