Brown Boobies, Roseate Terns, Masked Boobies, Eastern Reef Egrets and more make this island archipelago an Important Bird Area.

3. Collier Bay & Montgomery Reef – The Tidal Miracle (July 18–19, 2027)
Here, earth’s power is on full display. Collier Bay sees tidal swings as massive as 14 m—unleashing cascading waterfalls over Montgomery Reef’s coral plateau.

4. Careening Bay – History in the Rocks (Day 5)
Cruising in lightweight Zodiacs, you’ll glide into Careening Bay—an intimate bay steeped in history. Here, ancient Aboriginal culture meets the legacy of 17th‑century European explorers. Expect secluded beaches framed by dramatic rock formations and a profound sense of calm.
5. Hunter River Mangroves – Crocodile Country (Day 6)
Enter frog-eyed mangrove labyrinths and keep watch for saltwater crocodiles basking at water’s edge. This lush, ecologically rich river offers a hypnotic experience of wildlife and wilderness.
6. Swift Bay & Vansittart Bay – Secret Coves and Dramatic Cliffs (Days 7–8)
Navigate into Swift Bay and Vansittart Bay, both bursting with secret inlets, hidden caves, rugged rocky overhangs—and untouched beaches. These coastal gems unfold slowly as you glide along, perfect for capturing that cinematic Kimberley vibe
7. King George River & Twin Falls – The Showstopper (Day 9)
The crescendo of this voyage—King George River’s Twin Falls! At low tide, colossal volumes of water plunge over sheer cliffs, forming twin cascades thousands of feet tall. Surrounded by steep gorges, savannah plains, and remote mountain chains, this is the iconic Kimberley postcard come to life.
8. At Sea & Arrival in Darwin (Days 10–11)
After soaking in raw landscapes, use your last full day aboard to relax—enjoy spa treatments, fitness, lectures, or simply watch the vast ocean. Then, you’ll glide into Darwin, reflecting on an epic expedition into one of Earth’s last wild frontiers.
