Traverse the entire Kimberley Coast in style and comfort aboard the Kimberley Quest II, on this all-inclusive, 14-day, luxury adventure cruise from Broome to Wyndham. This ultimate wilderness voyage operates just after the Kimberley wet season, which brings new life and spectacular waterfalls from March through to June.
There is nothing quite as immersive, invigorating, profound and peaceful as a Kimberley Coast cruise. Here, in one of the oldest and largest landscapes on Earth, is a largely untouched wilderness of striking contrasts, with 1,200-kilometres (746mi) of sheer cliffs, pristine white sands and clear turquoise waters teeming with marine life. The Southern Coast will wow with prolific islands, inlets and pockets of rainforest home to many species of birds and other wildlife, while the Northern Coast is sure to impress with broad rivers, extensive waterfalls, incredible Aboriginal rock art and fascinating World War II history.
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. Navigate the thousand islands of the Buccaneer Archipelago. Get up close to the astonishing “sideways” Horizontal Falls and the 4-tiered Mitchell Falls. Witness mammoth tides at the world’s largest inland reef, Montgomery Reef. Fish for the legendary Barramundi. Marvel at ancient Aboriginal rock art. Journey through time from the Macassan traders to the European explorers to World War II. Observe local wildlife – Including crocodiles, dolphins and Humpback Whales – in their natural habitats. 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.
When you’re not busy exploring, rest and relax onboard the Kimberley Quest II. Catering to a maximum of just 18 passengers in large, ensuite guestrooms, this 25-metre luxury vessel is purpose-built to travel where others cannot and is equipped with 3 expedition tenders and a jet boat to ensure no stone is left unturned. Enjoy a range of pre-existing and tailormade itineraries to cater for every fitness level and personal interest. Indulge in delicious modern Australian cuisine, curtesy of the onboard chef. Whatever your interests and style, the dedicated and friendly onboard crew have you covered.
