Kimberley Cruise Centre
About
Bruce Connell
Director, Kununurra
Bruce started the Kimberley Cruise Centre in 1999 after cruising aboard the original Kimberley Quest. At that time, there were only 5 boats commercially cruising the coastline. Bruce’s favourite Kimberley icons? The King George Falls, Prince Regent River and King Cascade in the Wet Season.
Terri Connell
Director & Accounts, Kununurra
Terri has managed travel agencies for over 30 years and she started the KCC together with Bruce in Broome (before re-locating to Kununurra in the Eastern Kimberley). Terri’s favourite Kimberley icon? The Horizontal Falls. “The scenery must be seen to be believed!”
Melissa Connell
Marketing, Kununurra
Melissa grew up in Broome and joined the family business in 2000, building the company’s first website. Melissa has scooped up several business awards for the Kimberley Cruise Centre. Her favourite Kimberley icon? The Rowley Shoals (she’s a keen diver!)
Louise Stevens
Reservations Manager
Louise (Terri’s sister) cruised the Kimberley with Coral Expeditions in 2007 and then joined our family business in 2012. Since then, she’s cruised aboard True North, True North II and Diversity III. Prepare for a good chat if you call Louise – few people are more passionate about the Kimberley!
Celebrating over 25 years
The Kimberley Cruise Centre was born in Broome in the 1990’s after a radical dream and vision inspired me to move our young family to the Kimberley from the East Coast of Australia. After meeting people right across the Kimberley, remote 4wd touring and cruising the Coast, we experienced spectacular land and seascapes found nowhere else on earth (like giant tidal phenomena, seasonal extremes and unique wildlife).
I realised that this was a truly special place, and began to call this “God’s Country”, and wanted to share the experience with others.
My wife Terri had managed Travel Agencies on the East Coast and we had both travelled extensively on domestic and international trips before we purchased Broome Eco Adventures in 1998. We then opened a travel agency in Chinatown, Broome (which was part of the dream), and became the first in Australia to specialise in Kimberley Cruises. Today the Kimberley Cruise Centre is a leading name in Kimberley Cruise bookings with unique offers. We remain family owned and operated, so you can be assured of excellent first-hand knowledge and personal service. We hope to see you in the Kimberley soon!

“Ask us, we live here”
For many years I had dreamed of exploring the Kimberley by boat. I was pleased to come across Bruce at the Kimberley Cruise Centre. It was refreshing to speak with a Kimberley local – Bruce’s suggestions were great; from airlines that my travel agent had never heard of, to packing suggestions, to degree of difficulty on walks and even your advice about which month to travel. Thanks again
