Kimberley Wilderness
Don’t just see the magnificent Kimberley Coast – Experience it!
The Kimberley region in North-Western Australia is a panorama of rugged mountains, spectacular gorges, and majestic waterfalls. The region attracts visitors from all over the world – but not everybody is fortunate enough to truly experience this ancient land. Purpose-built to go where bigger ships cannot, the stylish TRUE NORTH provides a level of access that is the envy of others with our small ship cruises!
Whilst others sail past – the TRUE NORTH can safely navigate the Kimberley’s many shallow bays and river systems providing our guests with intimate access to the region’s iconic natural features. And our activity-based itineraries include tactile experiences such as hiking, fishing, mud crabbing, picnics, natural history interpretation, seeing the ancient rock art of the Australian Aborigines and exhilarating helicopter rides.
True North – setting the Kimberley benchmark for more than 30 years!
