The Kimberley Region of northwest Australia and the nearly one thousand islands off its coast have been a top attraction for tourists for many years. Offering beautiful secluded bays and beaches, mangroves, rainforests and more, this areas is best explored by boat.
Cruises can be found to fit any interest, from photography and birdwatching to beach combing, fishing and hiking. Longer trips allow for island exploration and swimming in waters that are home to jewel-like fish, dolphins, turtles and more.
You'll get the chance to check out jewel like fish, sea turtles, sharks, birds, whales and even saltwater crocodiles, as well as the unique erosions of Strickland Bay. Check out the pure white silica beach at Hidden Island and the iron mine on Kooland Island.
Other features you might see on one of these tours include majestic waterfalls, Aboriginal art, working pearl farms and more. You'll get the chance to fish near coral reefs and collect oysters, with some cruises offering the option of the day's catch for your meal.
Check out the Horizontal Falls at Talbot Bay, too - this real horizontal waterfall is caused by the way water flows through the narrow passage in the cliffs. With water building up in front of the gap faster than it goes through there's a difference of four to six meters in water level, creating a waterfall between bays.
These falls have been described as one of the greatest natural wonders of the world. However, it's important to see them on a cruise or under other safe circumstances, since extreme water conditions in this area have been responsible for many years of fatalities among pearl divers and sailors.
The good news is that if you're with a company that knows its stuff, you'll be completely safe, with boats passing through the waterfall for a thrill. Of course, if you'd like to see the falls and stay dry, you can do it from above in a seaplane or helicopter.
Look for cruises that do most of their distance travel at night if you want to be sure to have the most time on the islands themselves. In addition, look at what's included in the tour - some include fishing and snorkeling gear as well as meals and snacks, while on others, these things cost extra.
Anyone going on an adventure cruise in Australia should take appropriate clothing, including light garments that will keep them cool, a wide brimmed hat, and good walking shoes that can get wet. Don't forget the sunscreen and insect repellent, either, and pack your camera.
Most tours happen during the dry season, between April and November, but some also occur during Australia's wet season, since there are lots of places to shelter in rough weather. Pick your cruise according to what you want to see and how exciting you want the weather to be.
Kimberley adventure cruises are a great choice for anyone who's looking for fun. Pick a cruise that lasts long enough to let you see it all, and get all cruise details before you leave, so you'll have a great time.
