NIGHT 1
Your "welcome aboard" the magnificent True North is in the pearling port of Broome. Embarkation is at 1700 - 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 1
Awake to the majestic Kimberley and savour an irresistible True North breakfast as we glide past Cockatoo & Koolan Islands - our attentive crew will be happy to introduce the colourful histories of both! Then it's time to ‘personally' introduce you to a Kimberley icon - The Horizontal Falls. Experience the awesome power of the region's 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! Then - you will have hardly had a chance to catch your breath when, for those who can't wait one minute longer, Leadline Creek will be the first opportunity to ‘land a barra'! Before you know it, your first day onboard will be coming to an end - but there's still time to select a fine wine and to enjoy a leisurely evening meal as we cruise to Doubtful Bay.
DAY 2
This morning is devoted to exploring the Sale River. Fish the mouth for barra and then join naturalists and adventurers alike as we ‘ride the tide' on a classic river expedition! Enjoy a swim in your very own billabong before returning to the ultimate comfort of the True North. Then, you'll probably be enjoying lunch as we weigh anchor and cruise for another Kimberley icon - Montgomery Reef!
Montgomery is a unique eco-system that must be seen to be believed - and see it you will - 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, manta rays and every imaginable sea creature abound and the helicopter puts all in perspective!
DAY 3
The "early risers" will be treated to a heli-flight with a difference - a "champagne sunrise" on the top of a mountain! The scenery will astound and there are some ‘not to be missed' fishing spots as the True North graces the majestic Prince Regent River! At Kings Cascades we manoeuvre the True North right under the falls. Then it's time for more "adventure in the tender" - a chance to stretch the laces on your hiking boots and to swim in yet another picture perfect billabong! The helicopter will also be popular again when the first group of intrepid explorers returns from Jurassic Park!
DAY 4
If you think the Regent was good - wait till ya 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! It's only a short hike to Jackson Falls and there's even more splendour from the helicopter! Hopefully we'll have time for a sunset drink on Naturaliste Island and then it's an overnight cruise to the Vansittart Bay.
DAY 5
Today there will be another opportunity to see the "Bradshaws" - possibly the oldest art known to man. The heli-picnic at Eagle Falls is always a ‘big hit', the tenders will be busy exploring local beaches and creeks and, we also visit the site of a bomber that crashed during WWII. Overnight we cruise to Koolama Bay.
DAY 6
Yet another mighty Kimberley river - The King George! As soon as the tide is high enough, we'll cross the sand bars at the mouth to reveal even more breathtaking river vista! Then our journey upstream will take us to the very ‘jewel in the crown' - 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! Visit Koolama Bay and 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 7
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!

Join a local guide for a small group 4wd tour of El Questro wilderness park, connecting with your cruise.

Next stop ‘The Steakhouse' for lunch (own expense), overlooking the Pentecost River. Time permitting, enjoy a refreshing swim in a Pandanus fringed waterhole before we head to Emma Gorge Resort. Here we walk to the picturesque Emma Gorge, where a beautiful waterfall awaits. A great spot for a swim and afternoon tea. If you prefer to miss the walk, you can stay and enjoy the resort's shady pool and restaurant area. Bid farewell to El Questro and continue to Kununurra, crossing the Diversion Dam enroute. Airport or hotel drop off available. Optional extra: overnight at El Questro. At the day's end, your guide will drop you to your overnight accommodation at El Questro.
