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
