Discover Our Cruise Destinations

From humble beginnings on the Great Barrier Reef forty years ago, we have taken our unique style of Australian expedition cruising to the far-flung lands of the Kimberley, Tasmania and the Small Islands of the Indian Ocean and the Pacific. Wherever we go, we have one purpose – taking small groups of like-minded explorers to the most remote parts of the world with expert guidance and warm Australian hospitality.

As the pioneers, we have been refining our classic Kimberley expeditions for 30 years. No one knows this vast and magnificent region like we do.

Pristine national parks, soaring coastal cliffs, crescent beaches and world-renowned produce make a Tasmanian expedition cruise an experience for all the senses.

See historic lighthouses, weathered offshore islands and pristine coral reefs scattered across the rugged southern coast.

Sydney, NSW

4 December 2022

“Coral Adventurer docked in prime position next to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, with spectacular views of the Opera House. From here we disembarked and explored the city at our leisure, looking back across the quay to admire the ship. Some chose to enjoy a lunch at The Rocks, before the afternoon opportunity to go on the Tall Ships departing for Campbell Cove jetty. Everyone had a wonderful day.”

“We landed on the jetty at Beacon Island and set off to walk the island. There were thousands of nesting terns. We also enjoyed a snorkel in the lovely clear waters off the jetty. There were beautiful blue and purple staghorn corals, plate corals and plenty of reef fish and large groupers.”

Escape Reef & Mackay Cay

25 November 2022

“After lunch, we cruised over to Mackay Cay. Here we snorkelled at our leisure and Chrissy took some introductory divers for a taste of life underwater. We had an absolute ball this afternoon. The conditions were spectacular! There was little to no current, the sun came back out, the visibility was incredible and we were lucky enough to spot 2 turtles, 2 black tip reef sharks, a white tip reef shark, maori wrasses, a stingray, and giant clams.”
