Sample Itinerary
Day 1 – Broome
Your Kimberley cruise adventure begins at 5:00 pm with drinks and canapes on the bow. Once underway, the Chef will serve dinner as we cruise up the coast towards the Buccaneer Archipelago.
Day 2 – Yampi Sound to Talbot Bay
On your first full day onboard, we will cruise across the vast King Sound to Yampi Sound. We can swim in turquoise waters and explore silica-white sand beaches. Perhaps you will have your first freshwater swim under an awe-inspiring waterfall at Crocodile Creek. Back onboard, you can relax and enjoy the afternoon cruise through the Koolan Island Gap, weaving past many little islands on our way to experience the world-famous Horizontal Falls.
Day 3 – Doubtful Bay
Wake up to panoramic views of the magnificent Raft Point headland. We will spend the day exploring waterfalls, swimming and fishing in the Glenelg River, Red Cone Creek or Three Ways. You will join the crew and your fellow guests to watch the sunset and toast your day of adventure.
Day 4 – Montgomery Reef
The unique tidal flows of Montgomery Reef are a sight to behold as we take an early morning cruise along this unique reef structure. Your crew will describe the incredible history of the area while we search for grazing Turtles, roving Sharks and the odd Dugong. You will then have the exciting opportunity to view the reef from the air, thanks to our onboard helicopter. After the turn of the tide, we will cruise up to Camden Sound and anchor for the evening.
Day 5 - Prince Regent River / King Cascade
We will continue our cruise along the Prince Regent River, arriving at the famous King Cascade. The Skipper will position the boat under the waterfall for a beautiful photo. After anchoring the boat in the river, we will take the tender boats across to the river’s edge to walk up through the rocky outcrops and along the fern-lined waterfall, arriving at a waterhole at the rear of the waterfall. There is the opportunity for a scenic heli flight overhead to see this unique river system from the air. In the afternoon, we will leave the Prince Regent River towards the Hunter River.

The Hunter River is an incredibly scenic waterway rich with fat Barramundi and succulent Mud Crabs with plenty of opportunity to forage for lunch. For the adventurous, we can set off on a challenging hike to Jackson’s Falls. In the afternoon, you will have the option to join the helicopter sunset drinks excursion atop Manning Peak.
Day 7 – Mitchell River
This stunning wide river system has waterfalls and rockpools we can walk to. As an open estuary river, it is the perfect hunting ground for Barramundi. We will take the opportunity to drop some Mud Crab pots before lunch. After lunch, we will head off to Surveyors Creek, a pretty little gorge about halfway down the Mitchell River, where you can swim in a huge waterhole.
Day 8 – Vansittart Bay
We will kick things off with a fishing excursion. We target a variety of pelagic species here, including Giant Trevally, Queenfish, Tuna and Mackerel. There are also a few places to pick up a Mangrove Jack, Fingermark or Bluebone as well. We will then cool off with a quick swim before trekking over to view the mysterious Bradshaw (Gwion Gwion) ancient rock art galleries. Back onboard the boat, we will have lunch as we cruise into the cove to explore a crashed World War II DC3 plane.
Day 9 – King George Falls
Your backdrop for breakfast will be cathedral-like gorges as we cruise down the magnificent King George River. You will be driven right up to the cascading waterfalls, and you can take a shower right on the bow of the boat. We will then spend the day exploring and enjoying all the fantastic scenery this river offers.
Day 10 – Berkeley River
The Berkeley River is a stunning river system that offers various soft adventure options, including nature walks and swimming in freshwater pools. You will also have the opportunity to dangle your line and possibly catch that elusive Barramundi before enjoying a walk to a waterhole. We will cruise back down the river in the afternoon and anchor just outside the mouth for the late afternoon.
Day 11 - Wyndham
After sharing so many experiences with the crew and fellow guests, this is a big day for everyone. We steam overnight into Wyndham and disembark the boat at 8:00am for your bus transfer back to Kununurra.
