Your Kimberley cruise begins today from the beautiful capital of the Northern Territory, the city of Darwin. We will arrange a charter bus to pick you up from your central Darwin hotel between 8am and 9am to transport you to board Reef Prince at Fisherman’s Wharf. Our crew will welcome you aboard, and after a crew introduction we will depart. On our way out of the harbour there will be a safety briefing, morning tea, and a vessel induction. After lunch, meet the Trip Director in the lounge for an introduction to the Kimberley and an overview of the expedition that lies ahead.

For the afternoon and overnight, we will cruise across the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf and into the Kimberley.

We have breakfast while still crossing the last few nautical miles of the Bonaparte Gulf. It is a high-tide-only access over the bar at the Berkeley River and into the 15-kilometre-long river system. We transit the full length in the Reef Prince, marvelling at the narrow sweeping bends with high sandstone walls on both sides. It is breathtaking!

Once at the end, there are many options for scenic tours, including the Malcolm Douglas Pools, a visit to the Amphitheatre, and the Berkeley Eye. We generally cruise back down in the tenders to explore the smaller side tributaries while the Reef Prince heads back to the halfway point to meet again for lunch. After lunch, we can explore the Casuarina Creek area, Casuarina Falls, and even go for a fish.

Generally, we stay in the river system overnight. With its millpond-flat conditions and a sunset overlooking Mount Casuarina, it can be a sensational evening onboard the MV Reef Prince, with sunset drinks and a cheeseboard on the top deck followed by a special evening meal.

In the very early hours of the morning, the Captain will depart from the Berkeley River and transit along the coastline to Koolama Bay, arriving around breakfast time. If we are waiting for the high tide to cross into the King George River, we can enjoy a walk and explore Cape Roulare, Tranquil Bay, Pangali Cove, or a combination thereof.

We then cross the shallow sand bar into the mighty King George River system. The advantage of the Reef Prince’s shallow draft and jet engines is that we are able to transit the entire way to the twin falls – a treat that many other cruise boats are not able to do. Feel the spray and mist produced from billions of litres of water falling almost a hundred metres as the Reef Prince is expertly steered to the base of the majestic falls.

We then enter the tenders and go back into the falls and down the river, enabling us to get right up to the falls, explore the smaller side tributaries, and stop to admire the wildlife both above and below the water. There is also a third waterfall in a smaller offshoot called the Fountain of Youth, which is accessible at high tide and usually has a couple of crocodiles floating around.

Other options in the area include the Glycosmis Bay waterfalls, early in the season.

By the time you wake up, we will have rounded Cape Londonderry overnight (the northernmost tip of Western Australia) and will be anchored in Vansittart Bay. The bay is a popular area with many activities. The fishing is superb, particularly for Spanish mackerel, which cruise around the edges of the many pearl leases in the area.

We will take you on an easy walk across a mud/salt flat to witness the site of a crashed WWII DC-3 airplane. Well preserved in the Kimberley bush, your guide will recount the fateful day in early 1942. It is only a short cruise across the bay to Rocky Cove, where you can go ashore to a rock art site that has fabulous examples of mysterious Bradshaw (Gwion Gwion) paintings and a special cave full of more modern Wandjina rock art. The Bradshaw rock art is thought to be some of the world’s oldest Indigenous art. The cove is home to many large resident tawny nurse sharks.

Time and tide permitting in the late afternoon, we might stop for a walk at Woku Woku Island. This area has a massive boab tree on the mainland and a large boab grove on the opposite shore. The area is rich in Macassan history, as it was a popular location for Macassan fishermen to harvest and process sea cucumbers. The remains of many hearths can still be seen today.

Other alternate options in the area include Jar Island, with its two art sites and rocky headlands, the Anjo Peninsula, and the Drysdale River.

Once again, when you wake up, it will be in a different location. In the morning, we explore a series of art sites in Swift Bay. The entire bay is filled with numerous art sites, and we visit two to three over a three-hour tour, providing a very good cross-section of the types of rock art in the area, particularly the older Gwion Gwion (Bradshaw) art and the more recent Wandjina art.

During lunch, we transit for two hours offshore to a continental island called Prudhoe Island. The island offers a multitude of activities, with highlights including a walk to the peak at Petroglyph Point to marvel at the ancient stone-engraved petroglyphs. Around the corner is a beach full of turtle tracks and nests during the laying season. Inside the bay is a wonderful beach suitable for walking and a shallow swim, and further into the bay is a crystal creek filled with large clumps of quartz crystals, a site very popular with the ladies.

The area is also a fantastic spot for reef fishing, with species such as snapper, coral trout, emperors, and sweetlips. Around 5pm, after a jam-packed day, we steam south to the areas around Prince Frederick Harbour.

There may also be an option to take a helicopter flight from Swift Bay to explore the Mitchell Falls. This flight, operated by Helispirit, takes in the Mitchell River, the Mitchell Plateau, and finally the Mitchell Falls, before landing and allowing 90 minutes at the plateau with Reef Prince’s Cruise Director to walk to the falls. The return flight passes another set of falls and Porosis Creek before returning to Swift Bay.

Expressions of interest can be made at the time of booking. The Kimberley Expeditions team will contact guests again 60 days prior to departure to confirm availability for those interested. Minimum numbers are required. The price for the 2025 season was $880 per person. 2026/27 prices TBA.

We wake up at the Andadan Islands, where we can explore the area in the morning. This is a new site for the Reef Prince crew and has been four years in the process of detailed mapping and exploration. We have finally put together a 7.5-kilometre one-way scenic tender tour that incorporates the best of the region. Highlights include amazing rock formations, multiple sea caves to explore, many options for beach and sand-spit swims, small and detailed waterways, large overhangs, rock art, and even a crystal island! The 3+ hour tour was a favourite with guests during the 2024 season.

In the afternoon, we explore the famous Porosus Creek and Hunter River systems. This ecosystem is a favourite for bird watchers. We have a chance to spot a Great Billed Heron or a Chestnut Rail. Kingfishers are abundant! On the turn of the tide, fishermen can try their luck with a multitude of species regularly caught in the Hunter River. The area is visually stunning, with jagged mountain ranges and high rocky escarpments. It is also popular with our crew as a sunset drinks cruise location. Sharks and crocodiles are in abundance.

Other alternate options in the area include Dolphin Island, with its swim beach and Wandjina art site, Naturaliste Beach and surrounding waterways, the Roe River, and the famous Careening Bay with its historic Mermaid boab tree.

We take a sunrise tour to view the morning rays shining onto the islands within the St. Georges Basin. Famed explorer Phillip Parker King exclaimed that the area boasted “the most impressive scenery anywhere along the WA coastline.”

Then it’s out onto the foredeck as we cruise through the scenic St. Georges Basin and past the iconic flat-topped mesas of Mt. Trafalgar and Mt. Waterloo. Mid-morning we cross into the mighty Prince Regent River system. Whilst there is much to do and see in this river system, the highlight is the amazing King Cascade waterfalls. For the adventurous, there is a walk to the top of the falls and a fabulous swimming area fringed with blue gums and pandanus. On the other side of the swimming hole is a multi-layered rocky area offset with mini waterfalls (some of which you can sit under or behind) and smaller splash pools to enjoy a dip. King Cascade is one of the cruise highlights and a favourite amongst guests.

As the river system must be transited during high tide, this day’s itinerary often varies in time and order. Within the Prince Regent River system are scenic locations such as Camp Creek, Cathedral Falls (the highest in the region at 50m), two rock art sites, and fabulous bottom fishing for species like fingermark, golden snapper, and mangrove jack.

Other alternate options in the area include Hanover Bay, with its beautiful scenery, many beaches, brolga rock art and bowerbird nests; Rothsay Waters, with its amazing fishing locations; and the Valley of the Palms with its rock art sites.

We wake up in the tranquil Sampson Inlet. This area was one of the Kimberley’s first pearling leases. After a healthy breakfast, we explore the inlet and search for the local short-eared rock wallabies along the steep and rocky foreshores. The oysters in the area are superb, and fishing can also be fun, with mackerel and long-tail tuna often found in the mouth of the inlet.

We then head out to the rocky islands of Bumpas Island, a bird rookery, and the Slate Islands, which have some incredible rock formations, including the gravity-defying Colosseum. The area has multiple beaches suitable for a swim and exploration. For the fisherman, the area is popular for trolling for pelagic and reef species.

Deception Bay is only a one-hour transit and is a favourite excursion of the Reef Prince crew. It is a three-hour tour that involves a scenic tour of the five-kilometre long creek system in the corner of the bay. This area is diverse, with lots of varied flora and fauna, from mangroves to high-sided gorges (and everything in between), and finally, Butterfly Gorge. Butterfly Gorge is within a small creek system with a rock bar at the end. It involves a stunning 300m rocky walk to a very secluded freshwater swimming hole that has a ledge filled with indigenous rock art beside it.

Day 9 is an early start, up at dawn to watch the colours of the Kimberley come alive with sunrise over the iconic Raft Point. After breakfast, it’s into the tenders for the first of three excursions for the day, with a 75-minute tour of Bird Rock, Steep Island, and Raft Point. These areas are bird rookeries and are culturally significant to the local Indigenous people.

Then we head off to see Montgomery Reef ‘rise’ out of the ocean as the tide ebbs. Jump in the tenders for an extended reef cruise to study the marine life of Turtle Gully before transiting for miles up into the Montgomery Reef system. Many of our guests describe this as their most memorable moment of the expedition.

We then transit for two hours back past Raft Point and into Doubtful Bay to the incredible Red Cone Creek and Ruby Falls. This 2.5-hour excursion involves a tender tour to the end of the creek system to view the picturesque keyhole and Ruby Falls, followed by a rope-assisted climb up the side of the rock face and a 300-metre rocky walk into the freshwater swimming hole. It is long and thin, with a rock race at the end which is fun to wallow in and view the local wildlife and fauna.

With a low tide required for Montgomery Reef and a high tide for Ruby Falls, the itinerary may be reversed. Other alternate options in the area include the Kingfisher Islands, the 3-Ways (for excellent fishing and crabbing), or the scenic Sale River.

Wake up opposite the iconic Horizontal Falls! After breakfast, your Cruise Director will give you a geology talk on the area, then we go and experience the awesome power of the Horizontal Falls. Your attention will be taken by the incredible geology that abounds in this area. David Attenborough called it the 8th wonder of the natural world.

Nearby Cyclone Creek is a fantastic scenic tour in the tenders that showcases the best of the geological formations in the region. The S-bend within the creek system is another tidal pinch phenomenon similar to the Horizontal Falls. As we depart, most guests stay outside and take in the amazing vista as we transit out of Talbot Bay.

We have lunch on the way, and afterwards we transit through the Gutter and past the Koolan Island mine site into Yampi Sound. In the afternoon, we can visit Crocodile Creek, where we take the tenders up to a waterfall system and hike to the top of the waterfalls, swimming in a crystal-clear freshwater pool. Reptiles and birds are also found in the area.

For sunset and the evening, we head to Myridi Cove, where we can have sunset drinks followed by a very special alfresco dining experience. Weather permitting, we leave around midnight for a nine-hour transit to the Lacepede Islands.

We arrive at the Lacepede Islands after breakfast. Then it’s into the tenders to explore the four islands in the region. The area is rich in history and is an A-class nature reserve. It is the most important breeding ground in WA for the Green Turtles. The area is also a very important seabird nesting and breeding site, with 1% of the world’s total population of Roseate Terns and Brown Boobies, which is possibly the largest colony of them in the world.

Other bird species on the islands include Masked Boobies, Pelicans, Frigatebirds, Egrets, Gulls, Crested and Bridled Terns, and Noddies. Wading birds include Tattlers, Knots, Sand Plovers, and Ruddy Turnstones. The inner lagoon area is wonderful to explore on a higher tide and is a wildlife spotter’s paradise. The shallow lagoon hosts not only turtles but large numbers of small sharks, rays, and many schools of fish. The edges are fantastic for a swim and exploration.

During mating season, thousands of Green Turtles line the sandy islands’ long outer beaches and the shallow water just off the beach. It’s scenic overload watching them swim, mate, and haul out on the beaches. We stay until midnight, enjoying our last dinner before travelling the final 70 miles down the coast to Broome.

Please note the Lacepede Islands are very exposed with no protected anchorages. They can only be visited in the best weather conditions, with small seas and low winds. In inclement weather, other options include staying overnight in Myridi Cove on Day 10 and exploring other areas around Yampi Sound such as Nares Point, Silvergull Creek, and the famous Silica Beach before leaving at 2pm and steaming overnight to Broome.

This morning we head past Cable Beach and Gantheaume Point before transiting into Roebuck Bay and tying up alongside the large commercial wharf. Farewell your fellow travellers and swap details. Sadly, it’s the end of your Kimberley Cruise from Darwin. We disembark Broome at around 10am and say goodbye to the crew. Guests will be transferred by bus to their hotel of choice in central Broome or Cable Beach, or to Broome Airport.

Your Kimberley cruise begins today from the beautiful pearling town of Broome. We will arrange a charter bus to pick you up between 8am & 9am and transport you to board Reef Prince from one of a number of beaches in Broome depending on tide and wind direction. This is the first of many beach landings and tender rides you will encounter on your 12-day expedition. Our crew will welcome you aboard and, after a crew introduction, we will depart Broome.

On our way north there will be a safety briefing, morning tea and a vessel induction. After lunch we may have a fishing session by trolling lures from Reef Prince’s two game fishing chairs located in the rear corners. Target species are Spanish mackerel, queenfish and tuna. In season (July – Sept) we also have the option to do some whale watching. Your trip director will have a discussion with you about the trip’s itinerary. Overnight, we’ll cruise up the Dampier Peninsula and into the Kimberley.

For breakfast and a geology talk we stop at Myridi Cove and marvel at the incredible geology of Yampi Sound. Yampi Sound is nestled within the Buccaneer Archipelago, which has over 800 islands, making the area visually stunning.

It is then only a 25-minute scenic tender ride to Crocodile Creek (with many stops along the way), where we travel up to a waterfall system and hike to the top of the falls before swimming in a crystal-clear freshwater pool. Reptiles, birds and unique fauna are also found in the area.

After lunch we cruise past the iron ore mining operations on Cockatoo and Koolan Islands before transiting through the “Gutter” and down into Talbot Bay. This area offers scenic overload, with most guests choosing to stay outside and take in the amazing vistas during the transit.

Later, we experience the awesome power of the Horizontal Falls. Your attention will be taken by the incredible geology that abounds in this area. David Attenborough once called it the eighth wonder of the natural world. Nearby Cyclone Creek provides a fantastic scenic tour in the tenders and showcases some of the region’s best geological formations. The S-bend within the creek system is another tidal pinch phenomenon similar to the Horizontal Falls.

We generally enjoy sunset drinks and a cheeseboard on the bow or the top deck as we depart Talbot Bay. We then continue steaming into the night towards Raft Point. Other alternate options in the area include Dugong Inlet (best at high tide and earlier in the season, with its three waterfalls), Silvergull Creek and Nares Point.

Day 3 is an early start, rising at dawn to watch the colours of the Kimberley come alive with sunrise over the iconic Raft Point. After breakfast, we board the tenders for the first of three excursions for the day: a 75-minute tour of Bird Rock, Steep Island and Raft Point. These areas are important bird rookeries and hold cultural significance for the local Indigenous people.

We then head off to see Montgomery Reef ‘rise’ out of the ocean as the tide ebbs. We jump into the tenders for an extended reef cruise to study the marine life of Turtle Gully before transiting deep into the Montgomery Reef system. Many of our guests describe this as their most memorable moment of the expedition.

We then transit for two hours back past Raft Point and into Doubtful Bay, arriving at the incredible Red Cone Creek and Ruby Falls. This 2.5-hour excursion involves a tender tour to the end of the creek system to view the picturesque keyhole and Ruby Falls, followed by a rope-assisted climb up the side of the rock face and a 300-metre rocky walk into the freshwater swimming hole. The pool is long and narrow, with a rock race at the end that is a fun place to wallow and observe the local wildlife and fauna.

As a low tide is required for Montgomery Reef and a high tide for Ruby Falls, the itinerary may be reversed. Other alternate options in the area include the Kingfisher Islands, the Three Ways (known for excellent fishing and crabbing) or the scenic Sale River.

We wake up in the tranquil Sampson Inlet, one of the Kimberley’s first pearling leases. After a healthy breakfast, we explore the inlet and search for the local short-eared rock wallabies along the steep and rocky foreshores. The oysters in the area are superb, and fishing can be enjoyable with mackerel and long-tail tuna often found in the mouth of the inlet.

Butterfly Gorge is within a small creek system with a rock bar at the end. It involves a stunning 300-metre rocky walk to a very secluded freshwater swimming hole that has a ledge adorned with Indigenous rock art beside it.

Other alternate options in the area include Hall Point for swimming and sightseeing, Wilson Point, a popular calving area for humpback whales in season, Kuri Bay, home of Australia’s first cultured pearl farm, and Camden Settlement/Sheep Island, the site of the first European settlement in the Kimberley.

We take a tour to view the early morning rays of light shining onto the islands within St. Georges Basin. Famed explorer Phillip Parker King exclaimed that the area boasted “the most impressive scenery anywhere along the WA coastline”.

Once back onboard, we head out onto the foredeck as we cruise through the scenic St. Georges Basin and past the iconic flat-topped mesas of Mt. Trafalgar and Mt. Waterloo.

We then enter the mighty Prince Regent River system. Whilst there is much to do and see in this river system, the highlight is the amazing King Cascade waterfall.

Other alternate options in the area include Hanover Bay, with its beautiful scenery, many beaches, brolga rock art and bowerbird nests, and Rothsay Waters, with its amazing fishing locations, Valley of the Palms, and additional rock art sites.

In the morning we admire the work of the crew of Phillip Parker King. Careening Bay was named by Phillip Parker King after his ship, ‘HMC Mermaid’, was careened during his first voyage of discovery in the Kimberley.

We visit the site of a large boab tree bearing the inscription “HMC Mermaid – 1820”, still clearly visible over 200 years later. The area is filled with other interesting flora such as cycads and tamarind trees.

In the afternoon we explore the famous Porosus Creek and Hunter River systems. This ecosystem is a favourite for bird watchers, with opportunities to spot a Great Billed Heron or a Chestnut Rail. There are kingfishers galore! At the turn of the tide, fishermen can try their luck with a multitude of species regularly caught in the Hunter River. The area is visually stunning with its jagged mountain ranges and high rocky escarpments. It is also popular with our crew as a sunset drinks cruise location. Sharks and crocodiles are in abundance too.

Other alternate options in the area are numerous and include Ivy Cove (with another iconic boab tree), Dolphin Island with its swimming beach and Wandjina art site, Naturaliste Beach with its surrounding waterways, and the Roe River.

For Day 7, we have options. If we did not get to the Andadan Islands the previous day, we can explore the area in the morning. This is a new site for the Reef Prince crew and has been four years in the process of detailed mapping and exploration. We have finally put together a 7.5-kilometre one-way scenic tender tour that incorporates the best of the region. Highlights include amazing rock formations, multiple sea caves to explore, many options for beach and sand spit swims, small and detailed waterways, large overhangs, rock art and even a crystal island. The 3+ hour tour was a favourite with guests during the 2024 season.

In the afternoon we can head out away from the coast and explore Prudhoe Island. This continental island offers a multitude of activities, with some highlights being a walk to the peak at Petroglyph Point to marvel at the ancient stone-engraved petroglyphs. Around the corner is a beach full of turtle tracks and turtle nests during the laying season. Inside the bay is a wonderful beach that is ideal for a walk and shallow swim, and further around the bay is a crystal creek filled with large clumps of quartz crystals, which is very popular with the ladies. The area is also a fantastic spot for reef fishing, with species such as snapper, coral trout, emperors and sweetlips.

We then head back to the mainland to Swift Bay and explore the rock art sites in the afternoon. There are four main sites, with two of them providing a very good cross-section of Kimberley rock art, including both the Gwion Gwion (Bradshaw) style and the more recent Wandjina style.

There may also be an option to take a helicopter flight from Swift Bay to explore the Mitchell Falls. This flight, operated by Helispirit, takes in the Mitchell River, the Mitchell Plateau, and finally the Mitchell Falls, before landing and allowing 90 minutes at the plateau with Reef Prince’s Cruise Director to walk to the falls. The return flight passes another set of falls and Porosis Creek before returning to Swift Bay.

Expressions of interest can be made at the time of booking. The Kimberley Expeditions team will contact guests again 60 days prior to departure to confirm availability for those interested. Minimum numbers are required. The price for the 2025 season was $880 per person. 2026/27 prices TBA.

With the tide permitting, we might stop for an early walk at Woku Woku Island. This area has a massive boab tree (also inscribed by Phillip Parker King) and a large boab grove on the opposite shore. The area is rich in history, as it was a popular location for Macassan fishermen to harvest and process sea cucumbers.

Vansittart Bay is a popular area with many activities and superb fishing. We will take you on an easy walk across a salt flat to witness the site of a crashed WWII DC-3 airplane. Well preserved in the Kimberley bush, your guide will recount the fateful day in early 1942. Around the perimeter of the wreck site is one of the best Kimberley wildflower sites that we know of. In season (July–September), it is full of an abundance of small and colourful wildflowers.

It is only a short cruise across the bay to Rocky Cove. This rock art site features fabulous examples of Bradshaw (Gwion Gwion) paintings and a special cave full of more modern Wandjina rock art. The Gwion Gwion art is thought to be some of the world’s oldest Indigenous art. It is a 2-hour, 1.4 km one-way bush walk to explore the many rock art panels on offer.

Other alternate options in the area include Jar Island, with its two art sites and rocky headlands, the Anjo Peninsula, and the Drysdale River.

In the morning, depending on the tide, we can visit Glycosmis Bay. This area has an incredible amphitheatre that is home to a series of large waterfalls that run early in the season. Pangali Cove is also an early-season stop, with its WWII history, a waterfall, and a freshwater swimming hole. Tranquil Bay offers a stunning backdrop of high cliffs and an inner lagoon, perfect for walking and sightseeing.

The best of the Kimberley’s ‘big’ rivers is the mighty King George! While entering the river on the high tide, we can enjoy the soaring cliffs and two breath-taking falls of mammoth proportions. The advantage of the Reef Prince’s shallow draft and jet engines is that we are able to cross the bar into the river system and transit the entire way to the twin falls – a treat that many other cruise boats are not able to do. Feel the spray and mist produced from billions of litres of water falling almost a hundred metres as the Reef Prince is expertly steered to the base of the majestic falls.

We then enter the tenders and go back into the falls area and down the river, which enables us to get right up to the falls, explore the smaller side tributaries, and stop to admire the wildlife both above and below the water. There is also a third waterfall in a smaller offshoot called the Fountain of Youth, which is accessible by tenders at high tide and usually has a couple of crocodiles floating around.

That night, we usually enjoy a unique alfresco dining experience and one heck of a party whilst anchored under the twin falls, taking in the tranquillity and protection of the 100-metre-high gorge walls surrounding the Reef Prince.

In the very early hours of the morning, the Captain sneaks us out of the King George River in the dark and transits down the steep-walled coastline of the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf towards our last full day in the Kimberley. Saving the best until last is the iconic Berkeley River!

It is a high-tide-only access over the bar and into the 15-kilometre-long river system. We transit the full length in the Reef Prince, marvelling at the narrow sweeping bends with high sandstone walls on both sides. It is breathtaking!

Once at the end, there are many options, including scenic tours to the Malcolm Douglas Pools, a visit to the Amphitheatre, and the Berkeley Eye. We generally cruise back down in the tenders to explore the smaller side tributaries while the Reef Prince heads back to the halfway point to meet again for lunch. After lunch, we can explore the Casuarina Creek system, Casuarina Falls, and even go for a last fish.

Generally, we stay in the river system overnight and exit 24 hours after we came in on the high tide. With its millpond-flat conditions and a sunset overlooking Mount Casuarina, it can be another sensational evening onboard the MV Reef Prince – and the infamous Cruise Director’s Kimberley Quiz! Don’t worry, it is a team event with prizes and is a lot of fun and frivolity.

This morning, the Captain takes the Reef Prince out of the Berkeley River. Relax as the amazing coastline disappears while we begin our journey across the Bonaparte Gulf. It is an all-day crossing, and we sail into Northern Territory waters overnight.

This morning we head into Darwin Harbour. It is a stunning sight to watch the sun rise over the city skyline as we transit towards Fisherman’s Wharf.

Farewell your fellow travellers. Sadly, it is the end of your Kimberley Cruise from Broome. We disembark in Darwin at around 10am and say goodbye to the crew. Guests will be transferred by coach to their hotel of choice in the Darwin CBD.
