9 Day Kimberley Discovery Cruise

Guests are collected at approximately 4.30pm from their accommodation venue. Once on board, you will have the opportunity to meet the other guests and crew, be shown your accommodation and taken through our safety procedures. Whilst the skipper steams out of Broome, relax with a drink and nibbles overlooking a view of the famous cable beach, the gateway to the Kimberley.

*Please note the itinerary show is the Broome to Hunter River direction. For guests departing Hunter River cruising to Broome the itinerary is reversed. On Day one, guests are collected at sunrise and travel by air to Hunter River. Guests start their cruise around mid day and arrive in Broome mid-morning on Day 9.

Wake up to the delights of Yampi Sound. Start your day with breakfast, then depending on tide, board one of our custom built tenders to collect black lip oysters, or fish the headlands or creeks. Lunch will be served while the MV Diversity II moves through the Koolan channel. We will continue via Dugong Bay into Talbot Bay where you can experience the thrill of the amazing Horizontal Falls. After enjoying a sumptuous evening meal enjoy a restful night under the Kimberley night sky.

Awaken to the aroma of fresh coffee and breakfast being prepared. Once you are energized, sit back and enjoy the beautiful steam through Raft point into Doubtful bay. Doubtful bay is the gateway to many waterways each with their own unique landscape and swimming holes.  Spend the day pursuing your choice of activities fishing, mud crabbing or exploring the many fresh water swimming holes the Kimberley keeps secret.

Depart Red Cone Creek early in the day and enjoy a short steam to nearby Montgomery Reef.  Once anchored, guests will enjoy a scenic tour as the reef rises out of the ocean and water cascades into the channel. Guests will then have the choice to fish the run-offs or just take the opportunity to photograph a special part of the Kimberley.

Wake up to Deception bay on the low tide where guests will have the opportunity to fish and gather some Black Tip Kimberley Oysters. Once the tide has risen, the crew will escort guests for a refreshing swim at one of the many fresh water swimming holes. MV Diversity then departs Deception bay steaming north to the mighty Prince Regent River.

Wake up in the St George Basin and take the tenders up Spit Fire Creek for the opportunity to catch the prized Barramundi. Once the tide has risen we steam up to Kings Cascade where the skipper manoeuvres the boat under the powerful Kings Cascade waterfall. Guests will have the opportunity to swim and hike the surrounding areas. MV Diversity steams back to Camp Creek for the night.

Once guests have enjoyed breakfast, they will have the opportunity to fish the river for Fingermark Broome and Mangrove Jack. Guests can leisurely explore the Aboriginal Art work of the area. On the high tide the crew takes the tenders up to Camp Creek to enjoy a freshwater swim and the waterfall. MV Diversity will catch the outgoing tide and anchor at Careening Bay

Guests will go to shore to view the Mermaid Tree and learn about the rich history of the area. MV Diversity will then steam to the Hunter River to Perosis Creek, for the option to fish or explore the surrounding areas. Guests celebrate their final night with a beach bonfire on Naturalists Island before enjoying dinner back on board.

After breakfast guests depart via plane and enjoy a scenic flight back to Broome.
