The long weekend · 3 nights · Broome to Cygnet Bay
A quick escape: Horizontal Falls and Montgomery Reef from Broome in four days.
Embarkation & Coastal Cruise
Begin in Broome, where the red cliffs meet turquoise waters. After boarding your yacht, cruise north into the Buccaneer Archipelago, a labyrinth of over 1,000 islands shaped by dramatic tides and ancient geology. Enjoy sunset drinks on deck as your Kimberley adventure begins.
A Natural Wonder
Wake to the striking beauty of Talbot Bay, home to the iconic Horizontal Falls. Experience the thrill of navigating powerful tidal flows by tender or helicopter, followed by a swim or relaxed afternoon exploring nearby bays and waterfalls.
Tidal Phenomenon
Cruise to Montgomery Reef, one of the Kimberley's most unique natural spectacles. As the tide recedes, the reef appears to rise from the ocean, revealing cascading waterfalls and abundant marine life including turtles and reef sharks.
Disembarkation
Enjoy a final morning cruise and breakfast on board before returning to Broome for disembarkation.
The idea of the week
Experience the essential highlights of the Kimberley in this intensive 4-day adventure. Perfect for those with limited time, this itinerary captures the awe-inspiring Horizontal Falls, pristine anchorages, and the natural wonders of this remote region. From Broome, we sail to Cygnet Bay, discovering the most iconic destinations and unforgettable experiences that define this untamed wilderness.
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.
What the week costs
The yacht's published weekly rate, plus an Advance Provisioning Allowance, customarily 30 percent, for fuel, food, drink and berths, plus local VAT where it applies. Every listing shows its rate.
