The Kimberley is an ancient land shaped by the powerful forces of nature. We share her secrets with you as we retrace the steps of past explorers along this magnificent coastline. The vastness of the Kimberley region is best seen by small ship, and our fleet is designed with comfort and access in mind. We have over 23 years’ experience in the region, and the knowledge and passion of our crew is unsurpassed. Our expedition focus ensures that you will get the very best out of your Kimberley cruise experience.
The Coral Expeditions Kimberley cruise season stretches from April to September. Over 10 nights, our Kimberley coastal cruise explores the highlights of this ancient region such as waterfalls and ancient art sites, with expert interpretation of landscape, nature, wildlife and history. Our three ships depart from Broome and Darwin, providing you with many options for your once-in-a-lifetime experience. We look forward to welcoming you on board!
Every year, around 40,000 humpback whales make their way to the Kimberley’s warm tropical waters to mate and birth, in places such as Camden Sound. This pod of humpback whales, the largest in the world, is growing in part due to the Kimberley’s safe haven and ideal breeding grounds. On your Kimberley voyage, you may spot these majestic creatures breaching and slapping the surface in playful displays around the ship while our Expedition team keep you informed with fascinating facts about them.

Our classic 10 day voyage is an immersion into an ancient and inaccessible land. Covering more than 400,000 square kilometres, yet home to just 30,000 people, the Kimberley Region is named for its most imposing landmark – an ancient mountain range visible from the rugged sea coast. It is a place acknowledged as one of the world’s most beautiful wilderness areas.

“I have been showing our guests the Kimberley for 18 years and it still gets me excited. There is something new to see, hear and learn every day. There is never a dull moment in this place.”
