Kimberley

Kimberley

Exploring the Kimberley region via a small ship cruise offers a unique and intimate adventure through one of Australia's last wilderness frontiers. With its vast, untouched landscapes, cruising on a smaller vessel allows for a closer look at the Kimberley's spectacular gorges, waterfalls, ancient rock art, and unique wildlife. Passengers can enjoy more personalized experiences, including Zodiac excursions to otherwise inaccessible spots like the Horizontal Falls, close encounters with the majestic Twin Falls, and guided tours to discover ancient Aboriginal art.

Cruises typically run from May to September, providing opportunities to fish for barramundi, swim in secluded waterholes, and observe the region's rich biodiversity up close. This mode of travel not only brings you closer to nature's marvels but also offers a comfortable base from which to experience the rugged beauty and cultural heritage of the Kimberley coast.
