Itinerary
Night One
Your âwelcome aboardâ the magnificent TRUE NORTH is in the pearling port of Broome. Embarkation is at 1700 â time for a cocktail with your fellow adventurers before departing at approximately 1830. Dinner is served shortly after leaving port for the overnight cruise to Yampi Sound.
Day One
Awake to the majestic Kimberley and savour an irresistible TRUE NORTH breakfast as we glide past Cockatoo and Koolan Islands â our attentive crew will be happy to introduce the colourful histories of both! Then itâs time to âpersonallyâ introduce you to a Kimberley icon â The Horizontal Falls.
Experience the awesome power of the regionâs huge tidal range in an exhilarating tender ride and then climb aboard your air conditioned helicopter for a view of the falls that very few experience!
Take a refreshing swim and then walk on the squeaky white sands of Silica Beach. Or join one of the adventure boats on a sightseeing expedition to Whirlpool Pass, an aptly named further demonstration of the Kimberleyâs powerful tides.
Before you know it, your first day onboard will be coming to an end â but thereâs still time to select a fine wine and to enjoy a leisurely evening meal as we cruise to Doubtful Bay.
Day Two
This morning is devoted to exploring the Sale River. Join naturalists and adventurers alike as we âride the tideâ on a classic river expedition! For those who canât wait one minute longer, the mouth of the Sale offers the first opportunity to âland a barraâ! Or, take-off for a heli-fishing adventure to a rarely fished spot where the fresh meets the salt!
Enjoy lunch as we weigh anchor and cruise for another Kimberley icon â Montgomery Reef! Montgomery is a unique eco-system that must be seen to be believed â and see it you will â as 140 square miles of coral reef rises out of the ocean right before your very eyes! Water cascades from the reef as the tide falls exposing a privileged glimpse of another world! Turtles, dugong, crocodiles and every imaginable sea creature abound and the helicopter puts all in perspective!
Day Three
The scenery will astound and there are some not-to-be-missed fishing spots as the TRUE NORTH graces the majestic Prince Regent River. This morningâs target species include delectable mangrove jack and fingermark bream. At King Cascade we will manoeuvre the TRUE NORTH right under the falls. Then itâs time for more âadventure in the tenderâ â a chance to stretch the laces on your hiking boots and an opportunity to swim in yet another picture perfect billabong, or perhaps youâd like to venture further upriver to visit the spectacular âAmphitheatreâ waterfall. The helicopter will be popular again when the first group of intrepid explorers returns from Jurassic Park!
Day Four
If you think the Regent was good â wait till you see the Hunter! With stunning red cliffs set behind rainforest and mangroves – the Hunter River is yet another awesome setting for fishing, mud crabbing, bird watching and just simply exploring!
Enjoy an exhilarating hike to the hidden Jackson Falls and thereâs even more splendour from the helicopter! Hopefully weâll have time for a sunset drink on Naturaliste Island before an overnight cruise to Vansittart Bay.
Day Five
Today there will be an opportunity to see the âBradshawsâ â ancient rock art that pre-dates other examples of Aboriginal culture. In fact, they are possibly the oldest âpaintingsâ known to man. Vansittart Bay also has a reputation for producing monster mackerel! The heli-picnic at Eagle Falls is always a âbig hitâ â enjoy a sumptuous picnic lunch amidst breathtaking scenery. The tenders will also be busy exploring the local beaches and creeks. Overnight we cruise to Koolama Bay.
Day Six
Yet another mighty Kimberley river â The King George! As soon as the tide is high enough, weâll cross the sand bars at the mouth to reveal even more breathtaking river vista. Then our journey upstream will take us to the very âjewel in the crownâ â The King George Falls. Here we anchor at the base of the Twin Falls and you will find endless places to explore. Climb, or take the helicopter, to the top of the falls for a cruise highlight. Just the thought of leaving this magnificence will inspire mutiny! Learn about the bombing of a state-ship during WWII, then take a stroll at Tranquil Bay before we continue onto the frontier port of Wyndham.
Day Seven
Your courtesy coach will arrive at approximately 0800 hours for transfer to Kununurra and your crew will already be looking forward to the next opportunity to welcome you aboard the mighty TRUE NORTH!
