The Kimberley is one of the last coastlines in the world you can only really see from the water. Coral Expeditions has sailed it for decades, on small ships with an expedition team, so the days are spent in the Xplorer tender and the Zodiacs among the waterfalls, gorges, tidal reefs and rock art, and back on board for dinner and the next briefing. On this voyage, highlights include King George Falls, Vansittart Bay, Wollaston Bay & Mitchell Falls, Prince Frederick & Bigge Island and Prince Regent River, and more.
