Departing from Broome, head north to discover a land of extraordinary colour and contrast. Cruise iconic rivers including the Prince Regent, Mitchell, Drysdale and Berkeley.

All these must-see sights and experiences are interspersed with the Kimberley’s most remote and unspoilt beaches, coves, islands and waterways. You will feel as if you are the first person to leave a footprint.
