Nature Immersion Experience 3 hrs

What is nature Immersion?

Experience the Kimberley in a unique and intriguing way. Observe nature with fresh eyes, and enhanced ability to discover the hidden secrets of this exceptionally diverse landscape.

Nature immersion, also known Shinrin-yoku", or nature bathing, originated in Japan and combines the benefits of bush walking and slowing down to interact with nature. Your guide will show you how to enhance your senses allowing you to see and hear those hidden magical moments.

People have a natural attraction to spending time in nature because we evolved in nature. In our hectic lives with modern demands, extended hours spent indoors with screen time, we have never been so disconnected from nature before as we are now.

There are so many new distractions that we filter out the majority of visual and audio information we encounter. As a result, many have lost the ability to notice the finer details of our beautiful environment and walk right on by amazing formations and wildlife.

Tune in and discover the hidden magic of the Kimberley.
