We offer the ultimate mothership options that cover the vast majority of the Kimberley Coast from Broome to Wyndam over 10 and 14 days or you can do a 7-day shortened version covering Broome to Mitchell Plateau or Mitchell Plateau to Wyndam.

Kimberley Quest and True North are the best operators in the region and deliver a level of intimacy that can’t be experienced on the larger liners that offer a Kimberley Cruise.

The staff are extremely attentive and will make sure you get everything from the trip you were looking for.

Visiting the Kimberley is a must do trip. The scenery provides some of the most spectacular backdrops on the planet.

There are thundering waterfalls, pristine waterholes in which you can swim and snorkel, amazing phenomena created by the enormous tides like Horizontal Falls and Montgomery Reef and stunning landscapes that amaze everyone who visits.

There is a range of unique activities which include:

Visiting sacred indigenous art sites with Bradshaw and Wandjina paintings that are thousands of years old,
Wildlife spotting including huge saltwater crocodiles, whales, dolphins, sharks, manta rays and more
Birdwatching that includes sea eagles and other birds of prey, majestic jabiru and brolga through to tiny rainbow bee-eaters.
Fishing for the fabled barramundi and an array of other species
Trapping mud crabs and collecting huge oysters for the evening meal
Canapes on deserted beaches whilst enjoying a cold beverage of your choice
The on-board helicopter ensures there is no where you can’t explore.

Our options provide the best accommodation, motherships that can access areas others only dream about, chef’s hat quality food, the best activities and extremely knowledgeable guides for everything the Kimberley has to offer.

The motherships predominantly change locations at night and an array of tenders or the onboard helicopter explore the less easy to access highlights.

Trips run from late February through to November each year with the fishing only trips being confined to October during the build up to the wet season when big female barramundi are preparing to breed and congregate in numbers.

If you’re doing the Broome to Mitchell Plateau leg or visa versa we’ll have the charter flights lined up in and out of Broome or if you start or finish at Wyndam it’ll be Kununura which links with Darwin.

Maximum number of guests is 16 Kimberley Quest or 31 on True North.
