Highlights
Embark on an extraordinary journey along Australia’s stunning west coast, voyage from Fremantle to Darwin. Begin in Fremantle, setting sail into the vast Indian Ocean before exploring the spectacular coastline of Western Australia. Wild beaches, turquoise waters, isolated islets and coral reefs sketch out unique panoramas. Western Australia; a long-standing secret of national parks, a marine park, UNESCO World Heritage Sites and strings of islands that shelter rare fauna. Continue north to Broome, the gateway to the Kimberley, where the landscape becomes increasingly dramatic. From Broome, venture deep into one of Australia’s most extraordinary wilderness regions, characterised by towering ochre cliffs, rugged gorges, mangroves, tidal rivers and cascading waterfalls. Explore by Zodiac, uncovering secluded corners inaccessible to larger vessels, while expert Expedition teams bring the geology, wildlife and Indigenous stories of this ancient land to life. The journey culminates in Darwin, after an unforgettable exploration of Australia’s wild north-west.
