Kimberley Coast

Nothing compares to the Kimberley coast. Here, powerful rivers carve their way through deep gorges. Castaway islands teem with birdlife and pindan cliffs collide with stretches of white beaches. Saltwater crocodiles emerge from mangroves. Boab trees stand scattered across open plains. This is a place for the adventurous. For the curious. For the nature lovers.

Bigge Island

Bigge Island is home to an incredible array of wildlife as well as intriguing Indigenous rock art which was created by the Wunambal perople. In caves throughout the island, see examples of first contact art and Wandjina figures.

Horizontal Falls

Experience the dramatic Horizontal Falls aboard a Zodiac and see this natural phenomenon up close. Witness the intense 12-metre tidal currents rushing through two narrow gorges.

King George Falls

The King George River plunges an incredible 80 meters over a sandstone cliff into tidal waters, to create the magnificent King George Falls. Cruise to the base of this Kimberley treasure and be awed by the highest waterfall in Western Australia.

Montgomery Reef

As the tide of Montgomery Reef recedes, Australia's largest inshore reef offers a stunning diversity of marine life. Whales, dolphins, turtles, rays and reef sharks are all known for inhabiting these pristine waters.

Prince Frederick Harbour

See the incredible local wildlife of Prince Frederick Harbour, one of the world’s richest mangrove ecosystems. Keep your eyes peeled for an amazing variety of animals, from saltwater crocodiles and mudskippers to a plethora of diverse bird species including kingfishers, egrets, herons and white-bellied sea eagles.
