Tourists have been enjoying the Kimberley Region of Australia's northwest for years, and the nearly one thousand rocky islands just off its coast. Their bays, secluded beaches, rainforests and mangroves are best explored by boat, and offer plenty of opportunities to see the sights and more.
This is why a cruise in this area is an excellent choice, with options available for interests from beach combing, birdwatching and photography to hiking and fishing. Take a longer trip to enjoy swimming in waters filled with beautiful wildlife and some island exploration, too.
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.
There's also Aboriginal art, working pearl farms, and the chance to fish near coral reefs or collect oysters. Some cruises will even allow anglers to choose the day's catch as a meal.
Talbot Bay's Horizontal Falls are a sight to be seen, with a real, horizontal waterfall caused by the flow of the tide through a narrow cliff passage. The water builds up in front of the narrow gap faster than it can go through creating a water level difference of four to six meters on either side, and making a waterfall between the bays.
Described as one of the world's greatest natural wonders, these falls should be seen under safe circumstances, such as a cruise. Rough and extreme water conditions in this part of the world have caused many fatalities over the years among sailors and pearl divers.
Fortunately, it's safe if you travel with someone who knows what they're doing, and boats even pass through the horizontal waterfall, if you're looking for a thrill. Want to see the spectacular sight without getting wet? Consider a helicopter or seaplane ride instead.
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 travel during the dry season, between April and November, but some run during the wet season, due to the many locations for shelter if the weather becomes rougher. Choose your cruise time according to what sights you want to see and the kind of weather you're willing to put up with.
If you'd love a real adventure, Kimberly adventure cruises on a quality ship are a good choice. Make sure you pick one that lasts long enough to allow you to see everything, and find out all the details about your cruise before you go. You'll have a great time and experience things you've never seen before.
