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.
Race through the legendary Horizontal Falls of Talbot Bay — one of David Attenborough's 'seven natural wonders' — aboard a high-speed Zodiac inflatable. Tidal forces push millions of litres through razor-thin gorges creating a reversible waterfall unlike anywhere on Earth.
Glide deep into the secret inlets, mangrove creeks and towering ochre escarpments of the Buccaneer Archipelago aboard a private Zodiac with a Kimberley expedition guide. This is the untouched Kimberley coast at water level — raw, silent and utterly humbling.
Step ashore on Koolan Island — the Buccaneer Archipelago's largest island and site of a remarkable mid-20th-century iron ore operation — for a rare guided walk through industrial heritage, Indigenous history and pristine tropical wilderness.
Walk on Dambimangari Country with a Traditional Custodian ranger and hear the Wandjina creation stories that shaped this landscape. This intimate, on-Country experience is among the most profound cultural encounters available anywhere in the Kimberley.
Soar above one of the world's last true wildernesses on a private seaplane safari over Yampi Sound, the Buccaneer Archipelago and the labyrinthine tidal channels of the Kimberley coast. From 1,000 feet, the scale and colour of this landscape is simply incomprehensible.
Paddle a sea kayak through the mirror-still mangrove channels of Yampi Sound at dusk, when the Kimberley wildlife is at its most spectacular and — in season — the water ignites with bioluminescent plankton after dark. An utterly magical, silent counterpoint to the drama of the Horizontal Falls.
