True North: Kimberley Snapshot

Today, we will explore the breathtaking archipelago of over 800 islands, known for its rich biodiversity, lush mangroves, and pristine white sandy beaches - home to a diverse array of wildlife. Experience stunning scenic flights over the region, including an exhilarating flyover of the iconic Horizontal Falls. Our journey also includes fishing and sightseeing tours led by the ship’s knowledgeable naturalists.

With the sun rising, we’ll ride the tide down Sale River, where our experienced guides will help you target the ravenous barramundi,or embark on a Heli Fishing adventure to a secret, remote location. Later, we’ll lunch at Montgomery Reef where you’ll witness a spectacular 140 square miles of coral reef rising right out of the ocean, home to turtles, dugongs, crocodiles, and a whole world of remarkable sea creatures.

At Prince Regent River, you’ll have your pick of unmissable fishing spots, targeting mangrove jack and fingermark bream. Then, at King Cascade, they’ll manoeuvre the vessel right under the falls for an iconic True North experience. Later, you’ll head out for a bush walk that leads to incredible views and an equally incredible swim in a picture-perfect billabong, or visit the spectacular Amphitheatre Waterfall.

With stunning red cliffs set against rainforest and mangroves, the Hunter River offers the perfect setting for mud-crabbing, bird-watching, and exploring. Embark on an exhilarating hike to the hidden Jackson Falls, or see more breathtaking views from the helicopter. End the day with a sunset drink on Naturaliste Island before settling in for an overnight cruise to Vansittart Bay.

As soon as the tide is high enough at the King George, we’ll cross the sandbar at the mouth to reveal even more breathtaking river vistas. Our journey upstream will take us to the spectacular King George Falls. The captain will position True North’s bow directly underneath the falls, giving our guests the shower of a lifetime. Then, hop in the ship’s helicopter to enjoy a magnificent bird’s-eye view of this Kimberley icon.
