GREAT BARRIER REEF
The World Heritage Site known, as the Great Barrier Reef is comprised of 1,000 islands from coral cays to rainforest isles.

There are many ways to discover the Great Barrier Reef from one day cruises, 3-4 day cruises aboard a mini cruise ship, a fully crewed chartered yacht or diving the many reef sites from a live aboard dive boat.
CRUISING THE KIMBERLEY
The Kimberley in far north Western Australia is one of the worlds last frontiers. It is the same size as England and boasts a diversity of sights unlikely to be found anywhere else in the world. It is an ancient land extending from the pearling port of Broome on the north west coast of Western Australia to Kununurra and Wyndham by the Northern Territory border. Rugged ranges, broad tidal flats, rainforest patches, gorges and waterfalls make the area unforgettable. The spectacular coastline holds an appeal all of its own. It is largely unspoiled by man and includes sections of thousands of islands and dramatic shapes formed by 30 ft tides and mangrove communities that skirt creeks.
In addition to the landforms there are the local people. From the abundance of the rich culture of the Aboriginal people to the colorful people of the land who tend their cattle stations (ranches) with determination and pride. The Kimberley is special. It is not rare to feel the sense of discovery, that you are the first to tread a path through one of the countless gorges, creek beds or chasms. It is possible to explore this mysterious region aboard a luxurious, purpose built, cruise ship that carries its own helicopter aboard and can accommodate up to 36 passengers. With expedition leaders and guest speakers, the remote Kimberley opens up to those privileged people onboard. Your life might never be the same after cruising along this dramatic coastline.
