All About
The Grotto
Highlights
The Grotto is a magnificent gorge that provides a picturesque and safe swimming spot. The 120 metre cliff face drops into the water and becomes a spectacular waterfall during the wet season. Swim in the still refreshing waters of this natural chasm and watch as the daring local children swing from the Tarzan rope across the water. The sound of laughter, splashing water and the occasional birdcall is all that can be heard at this secluded tranquil location.
Capture the impressive view down into the gorge on camera before climbing carefully down the 140 steps that lead into the Grotto. Whilst the descent looks steep, the placement of the stairs has made the walk fairly easy. The Grotto is a popular picnic spot. With the lush surrounding greenery, towering cliff face and the sparkling clear water, it is a picturesque location worthy of a visit.
The Grotto is a short 20 minute drive from the historic port town of Wyndham and just under an hour from Kununurra. Visitors can take a three hour flight from Perth to Kununurra.
