Kimberley Snapshot Expedition Cruise (Broome to Kununurra)
The Kimberley by small ship and helicopter
This seven-night voyage is the Kimberley at its most indulgent, a premium small-ship expedition of only around thirty-six guests, with a helicopter aboard to lift you over the landscape. Between Broome and Kununurra you ride the tidal rapids of Horizontal Falls and then soar above them, watch Montgomery Reef rise from the sea, and sail up the King George River to sit beneath its thundering twin falls before a flight to the top. You fish for barramundi, walk to hidden waterfalls and ancient rock art, and return each evening to attentive service and fine dining. It is a compact, high-end distillation of the Kimberley’s greatest sights.
