Faraway Bay is a benchmark property for eco tourism in the Kimberley region. More and more visitors to the camp are interested in the environment and helping to protect it. For our guests, knowing that their stay has left a minimal environmental footprint is an important part of their holiday. Stringent regulations designed to maintain the integrity of the environment were applied during the development phase of the property and sound environmental management practices continue to direct the day-to-day operations - with the aim to provide a true wilderness experience.
