Cruise Port Guide
The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Soar above Australia's tallest twin cascading waterfalls in a private helicopter, watching torrents plunge into the ancient gorge below. This aerial perspective of the Kimberley's most dramatic natural landmark is the single most unmissable moment of any Kimberley voyage.
Stand before 17,000-year-old Gwion Gwion (Bradshaw) rock paintings at Jar Island in Vansittart Bay, guided by an accredited Aboriginal cultural interpreter. These ethereal figures are among the oldest and most enigmatic artworks on Earth.
Fly by seaplane over the Buccaneer Archipelago's tidal labyrinth and then surge through the legendary Horizontal Falls aboard a high-speed tender — one of David Attenborough's 'Seven Natural Wonders of the World'.
Plunge into the crystalline lagoons of Rowley Shoals — one of the world's last untouched coral reef systems — with a marine biologist guide in a group of no more than eight. Turtles, sharks, and technicolour reef fish make this a diver's paradise utterly removed from overtouristed reefs.
Glide silently across the Adelaide River floodplains aboard a flat-bottomed airboat, then watch wild saltwater crocodiles — the largest reptiles on Earth — launch vertically from the water metres from your vessel. Raw, primordial Australiana at its most visceral.
Witness the extraordinary spectacle of Montgomery Reef — one of Australia's largest inshore reefs — appearing to 'rise' from the sea as the tide recedes, cascading waterfalls and all, on an expert-led Zodiac expedition with a marine ecologist.
