Kimberley Holiday?
Covering an area 3 times the size of the UK, the Kimberley region of far north Western Australia is a massive ancientwilderness of extraordinary grandeur, colour and contrast. Blessed with a year round balmy climate, magnificentfishing, secluded beaches, and breathtaking scenery, this unique region has become an eco-haven for adventure travellers who want to experience what many consider to be Australia's last great tourism frontier.
The best way to experience the rugged beauty of the Kimberley is aboard one of the numerous cruising vessels featured on our website. With most drawing a shallow draft of water and equipped with expedition tenders for shore excursions, you will find yourself calm water cruising through bays and tributaries and showering underneathwaterfalls such as the King Cascade or the King George Falls.
For wildlife lovers, a Kimberley holiday offers fantastic opportunities to spot for birdlife, crocodiles, whales, and much more.In fact, a group of Marine Biologists have recently discovered one of the world's biggest humpback whale nurserygrounds in Camden Sound, north of Montgomery Reef:
"The Western Australian Marine Science Institution said 607 humpback whales were sighted
in one of the Kimberley's largest bays, Camden Sound, within a week... Undoubtedly the
Kimberley is one of the last true marine wildernesses in the world".

With one of the world's largest tidal ranges (up to 11m) every day in the Kimberley presents new opportunities and no two cruises are exactly the same (itineraries are a guide only). All cruises are fully inclusive and you are cared for by knowledgeable crew and a chef who is sure to tempt with a succulent feast of the day's catch, which may include Barramundi, giant Kimberley oysters, or mud crabs. Vegetarians and non-seafood lovers are also well catered for.

For the ultimate Kimberley experience, we recommend combining your coastal cruise with a tour of the interior. The Gibb River Road features magnificent gorges, waterfalls, swimming holes, wildlife, aboriginal art, cattle stations and homesteads offering the best of Kimberley hospitality. The landscape is uniquely Australian: vast areas of wilderness framed by dramatic mountain ranges. It's easy to see why acclaimed director Baz Luhrmann chose the Kimberley as the set for outback scenes in the new ‘Australia' movie.
