The park is one of the most accessible in the Kimberley as it is only {{convert|20|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} from [[Fitzroy Crossing, Western Australia|Fitzroy Crossing]] and is serviced by a sealed road. No camping is allowed in the park and visitors can only enter during the day. The park has picnic shelters, barbecue areas, toilets and water available.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kimberleyaustralia.com/geikie-gorge-national-park.html|title=Kimberley Australia - Travel Guide|year=2009|access-date=28 September 2010}}</ref><ref>{{Citation | author1=Western Australia.

Tour boats also operate in the gorge and a [[boat ramp]] is available for the public to use. Hours of use of the boat ramp are restricted to outside of boat tour times. However, {{as of|lc=yes|January 2024}}, the park is closed owing to flood damage sustained in 2023.<ref name=flood/>
