Broome to Darwin traces one of Australia’s most remote coastlines, ten nights through tidal wonders, sandstone gorges and ancient cultural sites found nowhere else. The Horizontal Falls and Montgomery Reef reveal the scale of the Kimberley’s tides, while landing sites at Swift Bay and Vansittart Bay hold rock art galleries thousands of years old. The King George River carries the ship past towering red cliffs to a set of twin waterfalls, and Careening Bay preserves a piece of early maritime history in its carved Boab tree.

YOUR ITINERARY
Broome sets the departure point, a historic pearling town where multicultural heritage meets tropical coastal charm. Cable Beach and the town’s local character fill the hours before the ship sets sail into the Kimberley wilderness.
...The Lacepede Islands stand among Australia’s most important breeding grounds for seabirds and marine turtles, a protected and pristine environment reached by zodiac between Middle and West Island.
...Powerful tidal currents surge through narrow coastal gorges at the Horizontal Falls, often described as one of Australia’s most remarkable natural phenomena.
Note: guests view this phenomenon but do not cruise through the Horizontal Falls.
Montgomery Reef reveals itself as the tide recedes, exposing vast coral terraces and rushing channels. Nearby Freshwater Cove offers a window into Indigenous heritage in this remote setting.
...Careening Bay holds the historic Mermaid Boab Tree, carved by early explorers in 1820. Untouched wilderness surrounds this peaceful stretch of maritime history.
...Sail through the beautiful Hunter River, lined with lush mangroves and rugged escarpments. This region is rich in wildlife, including saltwater crocodiles and diverse birdlife. Optional helicopter flightseeing excursions may reveal the tiered Mitchell Falls, a spectacular series of cascading waterfalls set deep within the Kimberley wilderness.
...Swift Bay offers another remarkable opportunity to view ancient Aboriginal rock art galleries set among striking sandstone escarpments. The area’s natural beauty is matched by its deep cultural significance.
...Located far offshore in the Timor Sea, Ashmore Reef is a remote Australian external territory known for its exceptional marine biodiversity. This pristine marine sanctuary features crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral ecosystems, and important habitats for seabirds and marine life, offering a rare glimpse into one of the region’s most isolated and protected environments. As your Emerald luxury yacht cruises around the reef, have your camera ready to capture its extraordinary landscapes.
Our visit to Ashmore Reef is required to meet Australian Government regulations. Exploration of the reef is subject to weather and sea conditions due to its exposed offshore location.
Discover Vansittart Bay, a remote and culturally rich region home to ancient Gwion Gwion (Bradshaw) Aboriginal rock art. Explore rugged sandstone landscapes and uncover stories etched into rock that date back thousands of years.
...Towering red cliffs rise above the King George River, leading to the King George Falls, one of the Kimberley’s most impressive twin waterfalls.
...Darwin closes the expedition, a tropical capital known for its laid-back pace, cultural diversity and proximity to some of Australia’s best known national parks.
