We explore remote locations that are hard to reach or not often touched by tourists, with shore excursions providing environmental and cultural appreciation. Our small group sizes ensure your experience is personal, with minimal impact on the communities and environments we visit.

Enjoy excursions or activities each day, guided by expert Expedition Leaders and lecturers who provide commentary on culture, history, and the region’s unique geology, plants and wildlife to help you connect with these special places.

Our ships are built for environmentally responsible small-ship cruising, with refined navigation and nimble Xplorer tenders to bring you close to remote coastlines.

Australian Hospitality at SeaOn board our Australian-flagged expedition ships, discover a personalised, relaxed style of cruising. With a maximum of 99 guests, there is no need for queues or assigned seating. Instead, an intimate, convivial atmosphere shared with like-minded travellers makes you feel at home.

Our Australian and New Zealand crew share their passion for our destinations and the explorer’s life. Join our engine room tours, watch our chefs at work in the open galley, and chat with our Captain or officers on the bridge – they will be delighted to have your company.

Our chefs, inspired by destination flavours, prepare cuisine from fresh regional produce. Our wine cellars hold a curated selection of Australian wines and unique beers.

Our guests love to mingle over drinks as the sun sets, enjoy daily educational presentations by our lecturers, participate in stargazing sessions after dark, or simply find a quiet corner on deck and enjoy the solitude.

The Expedition Experience

Our SailSAFE Plan It is our priority to keep our guests and crew safe while travelling with us, and our SailSAFE Plan ensures we operate responsibly in the new environment that COVID-19 has created.

Remote, nature-based expeditions with Australian crew, and small groups less than 99 guests provides a lower-risk environment. The addition of our approved SailSAFE COVID response plan, as well as our thorough pre-cruise testing model, create additional confidence when sailing with us.

We have partnered with Respond Global, a specialist medical advisory agency, to assist us in developing these protocols that are among the most thorough in the world.

With a focus on prevention, to target a 100% COVID free environment when we set sail, we have a three-tiered medical screening system in place before boarding. This prevention protocol is supported by onboard mitigation actions and a thorough and compassionate response plan.

DAY 1: DEPART DARWIN OR BROOME

Board in Darwin at 8:00am for a 9:00am departure. Board in Broome at 4:00pm for a 5:00pm departure.

DAYS 2-10: KEY DESTINATIONS OF YOUR EXPEDITION

KING GEORGE RIVER & FALLS

Fed by the King George River draining across the Gardner Plateau, 80m tall Oomari - King George Falls are the highest twin falls in Western Australia. Cruise through steep-sided gorges carved many millions of years ago to reach the base of the falls. In waterfall season, cruise under the mist of the falls by Zodiac, while in later months view the honeycomb erosion patterns of sandstone cliffs up close. The Falls is named Oomari by the Balangarra people.

VANSITTART BAY

Vansittart Bay is home to many cultural and historically significant sites like the remarkable Ngula - Jar Island Gwion Gwion (Bradshaw) rock art galleries estimated to be up to 20,000 years old. Ngula is the Wunambal Gaambera name for Jar Island. Nearby on the Anjo Peninsula, we explore the well-preserved wreckage of a US Air Force C-53 Skytrooper aircraft.

MITCHELL FALLS, WINYALKAN, & SWIFT BAY

Carved through layers of sandstone, Punamii-Uunpuu - Mitchell Falls descends over four tiers, creating pools of emerald green on each level. An optional helicopter flight will provide a breathtaking view. At the top of the falls, sandstone terraces form a lookout from which to savour the serenity of this ancient landscape. Swift Bay reveals fine Wandjina and Gwion Gwion rock art galleries.

PRINCE FREDERICK HARBOUR

Prince Frederick Harbour is one of the Kimberley’s most spectacular locations. The harbour is dotted with islands lined with mangroves and monsoon rainforests, set against a backdrop of ochre-hued escarpments.

White-bellied sea eagles and other birds of prey are often seen here, and at low tide, expansive mudflats reveal large populations of mud-skippers and mangrove crabs. Cruise up Porosus Creek to spot wildlife and later explore rock art sites at Lumbarrni Island.

PRINCE REGENT RIVER & CAREENING BAY

Running on a fault line, this straight river is a haven for native species. Here we visit the beautiful King Cascade, a terraced waterfall. Falling from a considerable height and around 50m across, water tumbles down a staggered terrace of Kimberley sandstone, surrounded by grasses, mosses and ferns.

See the National Heritage Listed ‘Mermaid Tree’ at Careening Bay. It still bears the name carved by the carpenter of Phillip Parker King’s ship HMC Mermaid when the ship was repaired here in 1820.

MONTGOMERY REEF

Montgomery Reef is a biologically diverse area covering over 300 sq km. Twice daily, as the sea recedes in mammoth tides, Montgomery Reef rises from the ocean in a cascade of rushing water, revealing a flat-topped reef. Opportunistic birds take advantage of the marine life left exposed in rock pools, while turtles and larger marine life may also be spotted. Get up close to witness the spectacle, as our Expedition Team share their knowledge on the reef and wildlife that surrounds you.

DOUBTFUL BAY

Ngumbirri - Raft Point guards the entrance to sheltered Doubtful Bay, which harbours significant sites such as the ancient Wandjina rock art galleries. Doubtful Bay is the traditional country of the Worrora people who follow the Wandjina, and these stories, knowledge and culture have been recorded in stone for millennia.

Visit Red Cone Creek, which flows gently downstream until it meets Ruby Falls (subject to tides). Climb up rock formations like building blocks, to reach the freshwater swimming hole. If time permits we may also do an Xplorer cruise up the mighty Sale River.

TALBOT BAY & HORIZONTAL FALLS

Due to the mammoth tides the Kimberley is renowned for, the Horizontal Falls are created as the ocean thunders through a narrow gorge in the McLarty Ranges. As the tide changes, water is forcibly pushed through the bottleneck, creating a rushing horizontal waterfall of swiftly flowing seawater. Experience a heart-pumping ride through the rapids aboard our Zodiacs.

BUCCANEER ARCHIPELAGO

The stunning Buccaneer Archipelago is made of over more than 1000 tiny islands with small secluded bays and picturesque sandy beaches. Cruise through Whirlpool Passage and the past the scenic Iron Islands, see the turquoise waters and white sands of Silica Beach and enjoy sunset drinks at Nares Point.

THE LACEPEDES

Subject to weather and tides, we visit the Lacepede Islands. The low islands are a nature reserve and Important Bird Area, supporting up to 18,000 breeding pairs of Brown Boobies and Roseate Terns, as well as a significant breeding area for the Green Sea Turtle. We explore the island’s lagoon by Zodiac and Xplorer, to spot many species of birds and marine wildlife.

DAYS 2-12: KEY DESTINATIONS OF YOUR EXPEDITIONThis expedition visits remote outer reefs & islands. Access to these locations will be subject to weather conditions.

KING GEORGE RIVER

Cruise down the scenic King George River, through steep-sided gorges carved by a flooded river system that carved a swathe through the Kimberley landscape 400 million years ago. We will take the opportunity to get up close and view the honeycomb erosion patterns of the 80m tall sandstone cliffs.

SWIFT BAY

This ‘T’ shaped bay is composed of heavily fractured sandstone providing an abundance of rock shelters. On the walls of these shelters are examples of both Wandjina and Gwion Gwion style rock art. Spend time observing these ancient rock art sites with expert interpretation by our Expedition Team.

ASHMORE REEF

Spend two days exploring Ashmore Reef, a very special stop on our voyage. The rich marine environment is revealed with snorkelling and diving expeditions to discover vibrant populations of sea snakes, turtles, and complex coral reefs. Cruise the lagoons by tender to spot the colonies of seabirds.

SCOTT REEF

Located 300kms off the coast of the Kimberley, Scott Reef has been treacherous to shipping. We will visit the wreck of the Yarra, an iron barque was driven onto the reef in 1884 and go on a snorkelling or diving expedition to discover the breathtaking outer walls of the reef.

ADELE ISLAND

150km off Cape Leveque, Adele Island is a Class A reserve and Important Bird Area due to innumerable birds that breed and winter here. The turquoise waters surrounding the island are also home to fish, sharks, turtles, and stingrays.

MONTGOMERY REEF

Montgomery Reef covers over 300 sq km. As the sea recedes in mammoth tides, the reef rises from the ocean in a cascade of rushing water. Opportunistic birds take advantage of the marine life left exposed in rock pools, and turtles and larger marine life may also be spotted. Witness the spectacle up close, as our Expedition Team share their knowledge on the reef and wildlife.

DOUBTFUL BAY

Raft Point guards the entrance to sheltered Doubtful Bay, which harbours significant sites such as the ancient Wandjina rock art galleries. Visit Red Cone Creek and beautiful Ruby Falls and climb up the rock formations to reach the freshwater swimming hole. We may also visit Steep Island.

HORIZONTAL FALLS

Due to the mammoth tides for which the Kimberley is renowned, the Horizontal Falls are created as the ocean thunders through a narrow gorge in the McLarty Ranges. Experience a heart-pumping ride through the rapids aboard our Zodiacs.

THE LACEPEDE ISLANDS

Subject to weather and tides, we visit the Lacepede Islands. The low islands are a nature reserve and Important Bird Area, supporting up to 18,000 breeding pairs of Brown Boobies and Roseate Terns, as well as a significant breeding area for the Green Sea Turtle. We explore the island’s lagoon by Zodiac and Xplorer, to spot many species of birds and marine wildlife.

ROWLEY SHOALS

At the edge of the continental shelf, 170 nautical miles offshore, lie the Rowley Shoals, a chain of three coral atolls including Clerke, Mermaid and Imperieuse Reefs. The shoals offer some of the best snorkelling and diving opportunities in the world. Their shallow lagoons are inhabited by myriad coral species and marine life, including giant potato cod, Maori wrasse, at least 233 species of coral and 688 species of fish. Water clarity here is unparalleled, making for superb underwater photography opportunities. Conditions permitting, we will spend 1-2 days here for snorkelling and diving opportunities. Guided by our marine biologist, snorkel away the day in the coral gardens of the Aquarium at Clerke Reef, try a drift snorkel in the channel, or beach comb on Bedwell Island.

Jamie Anderson

Expedition Leader

Jamie has been with Coral Expeditions since 2003. With a long career as a naturalist, guide, and teacher in environmental science, Jamie has travelled and worked all over the world. He has extensive experience in diving and photography, and has a tireless energy and love for our destinations. The Kimberley is his favourite place, and he is delighted to share his extensive experience in the region.

TRIP LOG”We were surrounded by breathtaking scenery: tall undulating red sandstone,

monsoon rain forest, sclerophyll forest, pine trees on the land, and mangrove trees

in the water. The flat-calm, jade green water and reflections on the water surface

added to the mix of sensory delights. As we made our way up the channel, we kept

our eyes open for birds, spotting a Brahminy Kite, Wood Swallows, and a Great Heron.

The scenery kept getting more extraordinary. We turned down a narrow channel to

find an impressive waterfall, its black algal-covered rock in strong contrast to the

red sandstone either side. It was not just an intellectual impression; the surrounds

had an emotional impact and there were tears shed by those onboard. It is not often

we get to see scenery like this, early in the morning, with the total stillness of an

uninhabited place.”

Cuisine & WineOn board you will discover a personal and relaxed atmosphere befitting our Australian heritage. We do not have formal nights, organised entertainment or designated seating. Instead, you will enjoy a convivial atmosphere shared with like-minded explorers, with our experienced and friendly crew always at hand.

Enjoy freshly prepared meals from the open galley featuring llocal ingredients from the regions we visit. Relax in the spacious and open atmosphere of our indoor and outdoor bars and dining areas. Enjoy craft beers, artisanal spirits and local wines sourced from regional Australia at the end of a long day ashore.

Our Expedition ShipsAt the heart of the Coral Expeditions experience are our purpose-built ships. Built for optimum expedition cruising in tropical and sub-tropical waters, they are spacious and airy while remaining truly intimate. With only 72 and 99 passengers, you will make real connections with people, places, and nature. Spacious outside-facing staterooms with balconies or windows allow you to take in the passing views. Shallow draught allows navigation into protected bays and landing on remote beaches, while active stabilisers create a smooth cruise experience.

Coral Geographer and Coral Adventurer feature advanced technologies and environmentally-responsible design, including anchor-free technology and efficient water and waste recycling systems.

Our unique Xplorer tenders, the safari jeeps of the sea, transport guests comfortably ashore or on excursions up rivers and estuaries. The Xplorer is raised and lowered by a hydraulic platform, allowing an easy, step-on embarkation from the ship’s main deck. Our ships also carry a fleet of high-speed Zodiacs.
