For those with more than a port day: sleep aboard between the Wallabi, Easter and Pelsaert groups, pulling cray pots and walking uninhabited cays few visitors ever reach.
What to expect
Mornings might mean a guided walk on a pearling-era settlement ruin, afternoons a snorkel over a coral garden, evenings hauling a cray pot for that night's dinner grilled on deck under an unpolluted sky. The vessel moves between all three island groups over five days, a scale of access day-trippers never get. Cabins are simple but comfortable, built for a working expedition, not a cruise ship.
Good to know
This requires flexibility around your cruise itinerary — best suited to guests extending their stay in Geraldton before or after the ship. Book calendar slots months ahead; departures are limited and seasonal (roughly March-October).
