Kimberley Reefs & Coastlines Expedition Cruise (Broome to Darwin)
The classic Kimberley crossing
This ten-night crossing is the classic Kimberley expedition, linking Broome and Darwin along one of the most dramatic coastlines on earth. Aboard a purpose-built expedition ship, you ride the tidal rapids of Horizontal Falls, watch Montgomery Reef surge from the sea on an eleven-metre tide, and sail beneath the twin cascades of King George Falls. Between the icons lie ancient Wandjina and Gwion Gwion rock art galleries, tidal rivers where crocodiles bask, and the solitary boab tree carved by an 1820 survey crew at Careening Bay. All-inclusive and expertly guided, with the option of a scenic flight over Mitchell Falls, it captures the wild heart of Australia’s north.
