Why You Should Cruise the Kimberley

Part of the appeal of the Kimberley is its remoteness and isolation. Many areas are inaccessible by road, so taking to the water to explore this wild ecosystem presents the opportunity to see the rugged shoreline and the inland treasures from a different perspective.

There are many itineraries to choose from, cruising the coast between Broome and Darwin, and a plethora of highlights along the way. Here are some reasons to cruise the Kimberley Coast during your exploration of Western Australia.

See spectacular scenery from the water

Drink in the view of Australia’s last frontier from the best seat in the house (or ship!). While land tours offer the opportunity to gaze out at the spectacular water sprawled below a stunning coastline, a cruise gives you the opportunity to look back at the shore and see the landscape in a whole new light. Glide past rocky outcrops, ochre cliff faces, remote islands, untouched bays, and pristine coral reefs.

Access all areas with expedition cruising

Taking an expedition cruise along the Kimberley Coast is the perfect way to truly immerse yourself in the region. Small ships navigate through the turquoise waters offering more accessibility to the natural pockets of beauty, while the zodiacs allow you to get up close and personal with breathtaking landscapes and the wildlife that calls it home.

Experience an untamed region

Wake to a new scene outside your window each day, and a new experience to be had. Learn about the ecology of the region with informative lectures from your expedition team, glide upstream on zodiacs between 100-meter-high red cliffs, spot whales breaching offshore, and dart through the famous Horizontal Falls on a high-powered fast boat. An incredibly immersive way to experience this untamed region.

Enjoy luxury in the wilderness

The wild ruggedness of the Kimberley coast and its untamed inland terrain is incredible. The best part? You don’t have to sacrifice your creature comforts or life’s little pleasures to experience it. Enjoy your luxurious home away from home aboard your ship, where you can unpack once and have all your amenities on hand in well-appointed staterooms, with sumptuous dining options, and viewing areas aplenty.

An inclusive bucket list experience

Start each day with a delicious breakfast prepared just for you. The day’s plans, full of once-in-a-lifetime experiences awaits. Your transport is already arranged, lunch and dinner tantalisingly assembled, and your nightly accommodation sorted. The inclusions on your chosen cruise mean that you know what your trip will cost up front, so you can spend your time in the Kimberley consumed and awestruck with the horizon.
