The idea of the week

Come and explore the untouched beauty of Kimberley in this exciting 8-day journey. The Kimberley is in northern Western Australia, known for its captivating natural wilderness, rare flora and fauna, and diverse ecology. Arrive in Broome where you will be boarded on your luxury yacht. From here, we set sail to Cygnet Bay. Over the next days, explore the breathtaking Silica Bay, discover the remarkable Talbot Bay and witness the awe-inspiring Horizontal Falls on the third day. Move to Kingfisher Islands, experience pristine anchorages, and see wild pods of dolphins and whales. Next is Redcone Creek, where you can relax and take nature walks. Then marvel at the extraordinary Montgomery Reefs before returning to Cygnet Bay, where you will be disembarking. Join us and create lasting memories in the heart of the Kimberley.

A note on the helicopter: not every yacht has a helipad available for private hire. Where hers does not, we book the flights as an addition to the charter, or take the helicopter activities out of the itinerary.
