The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Walk among the world's oldest figurative paintings — the ethereal Gwion Gwion (Bradshaw) figures on Jar Island, estimated to be over 17,000 years old. This is Australia's Sistine Chapel, hidden in raw Kimberley wilderness.
Glide silently by Zodiac deep into the labyrinthine mangrove creeks that fringe Vansittart Bay — prime habitat for saltwater crocodiles, sea eagles, and teeming birdlife. This is the Kimberley at its most primal and untouched.
Stand beside the ghostly wreckage of a WWII-era DC-3 aircraft on the sands of Vansittart Bay — one of Australia's most atmospheric open-air war relics. The Kimberley coast was a vital and embattled theatre of the Pacific War.
As the Kimberley sun turns the tidal flats to copper, a private Zodiac safari targets saltwater crocodiles, feeding sea eagles, and wading shorebirds along Vansittart Bay's wild shoreline. Dusk is when the Kimberley truly comes alive.
Join a professional Kimberley landscape photographer for a guided shoot across Vansittart Bay's most dramatic compositions — ancient rock art galleries, red-ochre cliffs, tidal flats, and WWII relics in a single extraordinary frame.
Tackle the moderate-to-challenging ridge hike above Vansittart Bay for sweeping 360° panoramas across the Admiralty Gulf, Jar Island, and the raw Kimberley coastline stretching to the horizon. This is one of the most dramatic viewpoints on the Australian continent.
