Exploring The Kimberley with Coral Expeditions
When we conducted the first exploratory cruise in the Kimberley thirty years ago, tourism there was unknown. Our pioneering crew had to rely on fishing lore to navigate uncharted local waters. But we fell in love with that vast expanse, carved by the powerful forces of nature – wind, rain and tidal flows. Since then, we have built our operations around the Kimberley. Our expedition crew are local experts who have been studying and exploring the region for decades. Today, we are proud to operate three Australian expedition ships in the Kimberley from April to September each year. Every voyage is different, with new discoveries and experiences.

"This morning we boarded the Xplorers to visit the C53 plane wreck. We had a wonderful time exploring and walking the loop of the mudflat, discovering large tracks from the wild cows and Ibis. After visiting the plane wreck, we continued to Jar Island. Everyone enjoyed learning about the rock art galleries and exploring deep into the mangrove forest, spotting a Bowerbird and shrikethrush, a sea eagle, an olive sea snake, and some common sandpipers."
