Experience the Magic of The Kimberley
Call us for your Industry Special Rate.
Experience deep cultural connections with local communities on your Kimberley expedition. Interact with Traditional Owners, hearing stories of their culture, such as the Lalai (Creation Time) and taking part in traditional ceremonies. Discover ancient rock art like Gwion Gwion and Wandjina styles, some believed to be over 12,000 years old, at sites often only accessible by sea. These experiences are sure to make your expedition a truly unforgettable experience.
Set sail for the wild and grandiose landscapes of Kimberley, following an exceptional PONANT itinerary. From Darwin to Broome or vice versa, embark for an 11-day expedition cruise to one of the last unspoiled regions on the planet. The highpoint of this cruise will undoubtedly be the discovery of the King George River and the majestic Twin Falls, the highest falls in Western Australia. During your cruise, the magnificent bays of Vansittart and Swift will offer you exceptional panoramas, between islands, secret inlets, caves and rocky overhangs. In one of the most picturesque parts of the region, the Hunter River, you will see wild mangrove forests where saltwater crocodiles live along with many species of birds. You will also visit Collier Bay, where you will be able to admire the Montgomery Reef, home to vast expanses of lagoons and immense coral reefs. On the Lacepede Islands, take the time to admire the abundance of nesting birds as well as the large population of turtles residing in the lagoon. Your ship will take you along the most spectacular coasts in the entire region. With their falls, abrupt gorges, savannah, calm waters and desolate mountain chains, the wild lands of Kimberley are the promise of an exceptional adventure.
