Kimberley Expedition Cruise

Welcome to The Kimberley, the Australian outback adventure experience of a lifetime.This unique adventure opportunity should not be missed. A 10 night exploration voyage to The Kimberley has so many highlights, it's hard to know where to begin. Your expedition cruise begins from either Darwin - the capital city of The Northern Territory, or Broome - famous for its beauty and cultured pearls. Both are unique frontier centres and are the gateways to the magnificent Kimberley wilderness.

Experienced, highly informative tour guides will supervise the expedition itinerary, maximising the experiences offered by the breathtaking scenery and the magnificent sunsets, and making sensitive arrangements to allow guests to absorb the cultural remnants of one of the world's most ancient peoples, the Australian Aborigine.

You access The Kimberley, one of the world's most remote areas, aboard the excellently appointed Australian expedition cruise vessel Coral Princess. Her shallow draft and manoeuvrability make her ideal to safely navigate the mighty rivers and scenic inlets of The Kimberley. A specially designed excursion boat is more than a match for the strong currents resulting from the dramatic tidal changes in this area. It allows you to explore the gorges of the Mitchell, King George, Prince Regent and Hunter Rivers.

For the more adventurous, optional helicopter flights to the Mitchell Plateau are also available. The enormous variety of bird life and native wildlife including the saltwater crocodile makes every moment of the expedition unique. The hundreds of islands in Buccaneer Archipelago, the tidal phenomena at the Montgomery Reef and the extraordinary horizontal waterfalls near Talbot Bay...

The Kimberley has it all. Join The Kimberley expedition cruise to the remotest parts of the Australian Outback in style and comfort.
