Kimberley Waterfalls

Overview

The sound of thunder will be even more thrilling after experiencing the end of the wet season in the Kimberley, with 10 nights of thundering waterfalls and summer storms. The ancient rock art, extraordinary wildlife, and monster barramundi will leave you breathless as you discover the wonders the Kimberley has to offer.

Step aboard the True North in Broome. As you settle into the luxurious surroundings, enjoy the exceptional onboard amenities, including gourmet dining and spacious lounges. The ship will leave port for the overnight cruise to the serene Yampi Sound, where your adventure begins.

Today, explore the breathtaking archipelago of over 800 islands, known for its reach biodiversity, lush mangroves, and pristine white sandy beaches – home to a diverse array of wildlife. Experience stunning scenic flights over the region, including an exhilarating flyover of the iconic Horizontal Falls. Your journey also includes fishing and sightseeing tours led by the ship’s knowledgeable naturalists.

Today, you’ll have the chance to rise at dawn to catch barramundi at “Three Ways”, followed by a bush walk to Ruby Falls, where you can swim in its refreshing natural rock pool. Then embark on a Heli Fishing adventure to a secret, remote location. Lunch will be served as the anchor is raised and you cruise to another Kimberley icon – Montgomery Reef. Here, you’ll witness a spectacular 140 square miles of coral reef rising right out of the ocean, home to turtles, dugongs, crocodiles, and a whole world of remarkable sea creatures.

At Prince Regent River, you’ll have your pick of unmissable fishing spots, targeting mangrove jack and fingermark bream. Then, at King Cascade, the vessel will be manoeuvred right under the falls for an iconic True North experience. Later, head out for a bush walk that leads to incredible views and an equally incredible swim in a picture-perfect billabong, or visit the spectacular Amphitheatre Waterfall.

The next morning, wake up with the sunrise and spend the morning fishing with your experienced guides, or discover ancient rock art with your naturalist. Then, take a helicopter flight to an unforgettable picnic for a mouthwatering lunch beside a crystal-clear billabong in one of the most remote places on earth.

With stunning red cliffs set against rainforest and mangroves, the Hunter River offers the perfect setting for mud-crabbing, bird-watching, and exploring. Embark on an exhilarating hike to the hidden Jackson Falls, or see more breathtaking views from the helicopter. Then in the afternoon, set sail into Prince Frederick Harbour for sunset drinks on the picturesque Crystal Beach.

Wake up to the stunning turquoise waters of Swift Bay and join us for a hunt for the famous giant black-lip oyster. Then, explore ancient Wandjina rock art, followed by sunset drinks on the picturesque Winyalkin Island.

Today, head upriver to the scenic Surveyors Creek, known for its big crocodiles. You’ll then have the option to join the hunt for barramundi or hop in the chopper for a ride over the ancient landscape towards the breathtaking Mitchell Falls. Then, join the expedition team for the exclusive pearl and diamond party.

Today, you’ll visit the Gwion Gwion, also known as Bradshaw rock art – ancient paintings that may be the oldest known to man. Afterwards, fish for mackerel in Vansittart Bay, take a helicopter to Eagle Falls for a picnic lunch amidst breathtaking scenery, or tender to local beaches and creeks.

As soon as the tide is high enough at the King George, you’ll cross the sandbar at the mouth to reveal even more breathtaking river vistas. Your journey upstream will take you to the spectacular King George Falls. The captain will position True North’s bow directly underneath the falls, giving guests the shower of a lifetime. Then, hop in the ship’s helicopter to enjoy a magnificent bird’s-eye view of this Kimberley icon.

Your courtesy coach will transfer you to Kununurra, and your crew will already be looking forward to the next opportunity to welcome you aboard True North. Until then, hopefully you will carry the beauty and serenity of the Kimberley with you.
