West Australian Coastline Expedition Cruise (Fremantle to Broome)
Up the wild Western Australian coast
Between Perth and Broome lies a coast where red desert meets turquoise sea, strewn with coral reefs, shipwreck stories and some of Australia’s oldest rock art. This all-inclusive twelve-night voyage traces it in full, from the Abrolhos Islands, scene of the notorious Batavia wreck, to the whale sharks and coral of Ningaloo Reef, the atomic-test history of the Montebello Islands and the ancient petroglyphs of Dampier. Guided by marine biologists and historians, you snorkel pristine reefs, land on remote islands alive with sea lions and seabirds, and kayak coral gardens. It is a wild, little-known coast, explored in comfort with everything included.
