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.
You can find a cruise to go with any interest, from birdwatching, photography and beach combing to hiking and fishing. Take a longer trip if you'd like to swim in some of the area's beautiful waters, teaming with fish, turtles and other wildlife, or do some island exploration.
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.
You'll also have the chance to see Aboriginal art, waterfalls and pearl farms and to collect oysters or fish near the coral reef. Some cruises offer the day's catch as a meal choice to anglers.
Check out the Horizontal Falls at Talbot Bay - a real horizontal waterfall that's caused by the way the tide goes through a passage in the cliffs. The gap is so narrow that the water builds up faster on one side than it can pass through, making a difference of four to six meters in the water level, and causing a waterfall to flow between the 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 in the right situation, you'll be safe, with boats even passing through the waterfall. People looking for less of a thrill can see this site in a dry 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.
If you're planning on an Australian adventure cruise, you'll need to take the right clothes, like lightweight fabrics that keep you cool, good walking shoes you don't mind getting wet and a wide brimmed hat. Don't forget to keep insect repellent and sunscreen, and keep your camera close to hand.
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.
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. - 16003
