Download brochure (PDF 228kb)
To describe this remote area of Australia as breathtaking is still an understatement. There’s simply no better way to get there than using
the Indian Pacific stop in Perth or
The Ghan stop in Darwin as your starting point. From either of these places you’re only an easy flight away from the very best in Kimberley touring.
The tours we have put together not only take in all of the area’s best destinations including the Bungle Bungle Range and Broome, but many also feature unique accommodation like El Questro which is an attraction in itself. In fact, there are more touring options and combinations than you can shake a stick at. So if you’ve always wanted to explore this region but you’d love a great train holiday as well, now’s your chance. Why not use these tour options to whet your appetite and then let your holiday consultant help you put together a holiday like nothing else on Earth.

Kimberley Expeditions Cruise:
11 Days
Although custom designed for expedition cruising,
Orion is the epitome of elegance. Her luxurious
appointments mean she is more mega-yacht than cruise
ship. Life on board Orion is relaxed and casually elegant.
Orion’s 10 night Kimberley Expeditions undertake an in-depth exploration of this remote coastline, one way from Darwin to Broome. This voyage also operates from Broome to Darwin. Nothing can fully prepare you for the dramatic contrasts of Australia’s north-west, rich in Aboriginal culture and galleries of ancient artwork. Towards the west, in the historic pearling town of Broome, the colours of nature are vibrant and intense: rich red earth, azure blue seas and brilliant white sand beaches. North of Broome lies the ragged Kimberley coast, a place you can only comprehend from the sea. Rugged gorges, inlets, waterfalls plunging 100 metres all combine for an awe-inspiring experience you simply can’t have by travelling overland.
Includes: Stateroom accommodation, cruise transportation, all meals on board, 24 hour room service, entertainment and educational programmes, use of sporting equipment and facilities, port and handling charges, access to the ships library of CDs/DVDs, Government Fees and Taxes. |
