Why A Kimberley Adventure Cruise Is The Choice For You

By Haro Singuini

Australia is a fascinating place and a great one to choose for your next cruise. Full of unique and amazing plants and animals, it's a compelling spot for travelers of every kind.

Have you ever thought about a cruise that would let you enjoy the most luxurious surroundings while encountering unusual wildlife, SCUBA diving, fishing, hiking and even seeing sharks in their natural habitat?

If you want to go on a great adventure vacation without losing your little luxuries, an Australian cruise is an excellent choice.

The facilities you'll encounter on board the ship are easily as comfortable and attractive as what you'll find at the very best hotels. Enjoy beautiful decor, large cabins, and more, as well as the ship's lounge, forward viewing deck, bar, and world class dining facilities.

Choose a cruise that offers multiple expedition boats, allowing you to do what you want, when you want to do it. Some boats, like the Kimberly True North, even sail with their own helicopter!

Australian cruise ships built for wilderness exploration are a little different than the average ship. Purpose built to be able to explore even the upper parts of shallow river systems, they'll take you further than an ordinary cruise, allowing you to experience true Australian wilderness merely by stepping out of your cabin.

Some Australian cruises offer cage diving with the fierce predators of the sea - great white sharks! If you want to live a little, join the experienced operators for what might be your only opportunity to see these sharks up close in their natural environment, from the safety of the shark cage.

Consider having fresh sashimi caught that morning, local wine, or even a tutorial from the chef on how to prepare local crab!

The next day, visit Coffin Bay, an area filled with tranquil waters and brilliant beaches. The national park means there's a lot of amazing wild beauty to be seen.

After a long walk in the park, join the crew for a beach picnic, then take a cruise to Greeny Island, where you'll see enormous schools of fish and have the chance to sample local oysters. Take the chance to explore, swim, and even SCUBA dive.

For non-anglers, snorkeling, diving, nature walks and more are available. There are miles of national forests and nature preserves to explore, fascinating native animals to see, and lots of breathtaking scenery. Or, take a break to enjoy a picnic with the crew on the beach side.

After a long, fantastic cruise, you'll head to the final port, where a morning disembarkation takes you to light aircraft transfer back to your port of origin. You'll be amazed at everything available as part of an Australian cruise.
