Brief Description Cruise 10 nights with Coral Expeditions on a small ship expedition to the Kimberley`s.
Type of Special Cruise Only
Departure Date 17 May 2025
Inclusions This classic 10-night voyage explores this rugged land carved by the powerful forces of nature. Thrilling rides through Horizontal Falls, showers under King Cascade, ancient rock art, crocodiles basking on rock ledges – this is a truly Australian adventure. Thirty years ago, when Coral Expeditions made the first exploratory cruises in the Kimberley, they had to rely on hand-drawn `mudmaps` and the knowledge of fishermen and early explorers to navigate the vast and unpredictable coastline. Today, with decades of experience behind them, and in-house experts, maps, tidal charts, and landing notes, they have a level of knowledge that cannot be easily replicated.

Now, they invite you to join them on our classic 10-night Kimberley expedition. Witness the power of nature at the magnificent King George River and its towering twin falls, explore ancient rock art with expert guides, and witness diverse marine life and cascading waters at Montgomery Reef. Later in the season, you may also see the majestic Humpback Whales on their migration north to breeding grounds. Every Kimberley voyage is different. Come and discover the Kimberley for yourself with the pioneers.

Seasons:
- Waterfall Season: March to May - At the end of the wet season, experience rushing waterfalls and creeks, with abundant wildlife and lush greenery.
- Peak Season: May to July - The most popular time to see the Kimberley. Enjoy optimum weather with cooler temperatures and no rain. The wildlife is abundant, and the landscape vibrant.
- Whale Season: July to October - Humpback whales migrate to Kimberley waters and may be spotted during these months. The weather is hot and dry, with beautiful sunsets.

Highlights:
- Experience the thrill of riding the Horizontal Falls in inflatable Zodiac tender vessels
- Get up close to Montgomery Reef and discover the tidal reef’s diverse marine life
- Witness King George River and 80m tall twin King George waterfalls
- Cruise the Prince Regent River to the `hanging garden` King Cascade waterfall
- Encounter Indigenous rock art galleries and learn about ancient Wandjina and Gwion Gwion art
- Spot native wildlife and birdlife in their natural habitat
- View the Kimberley landscape by air on a scenic helicopter flight to Mitchell Falls (additional cost)
