Kimberley Packing Guide

The Kimberley Region boasts a tropical climate that averages between 28-33C during the day but can be cool in the early morning or evening.  

Please use soft luggage/duffel bags, and pack lightly (there is a strict 10kg maximum per person for 9-day cruises). 

The stewardess offers a complimentary daily laundry service. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, sunscreen, insect repellent, hairdryers, and all linens (including beach towels) are provided. 

Daily excursions are adventure based, so we recommend comfortable activewear and appropriate footwear. Casual summer/resort attire is suggested for the evenings.
