Kimberley Coast

Small Ship Cruises & Expeditions

Australia's Kimberley Coast

The Kimberley is prolific with islands, whirlpools, inlets, extensive waterfalls, pristine beaches and unforgettable scenery that will take your breath away.

Cruise the steep gorges and experience the sheer power of the long drop waterfalls, visit fascinating WWII sites, ancient rock art sites and lost cities. Fish for the elusive barramundi and many other fish species, as well as also enjoying refreshing dips in pristine waterholes. See wild mangrove forests where saltwater crocodiles live alongside many species of birds. Be ready for your adrenaline to start pumping as you explore the huge whirlpools of Whirlpool Passage, with some pools reaching the size of a football field!

With their falls, abrupt gorges, savannah, calm waters and desolate mountain chains, the wild lands of the Kimberley are the promise of an exceptional adventure. And the best way to experience the Kimerley is from a small ship. Sit back and enjoy as the amazing landscape slips past from the comfort of a deck chair, get up-close in a Zodiac or take a guided hike ashore.
