Our itineraries are activity-based and each day is packed with opportunities for adventure and exploration, all tailored to you! No two days are the same, but a day on one of our Kimberley adventure cruises might look like this…
Morning: Start your day with a gourmet breakfast prepared by our expert chefs. As you enjoy your meal, our crew will brief you on the day’s activities–maybe a helicopter flight over the majestic Mitchell Falls, a fishing trip to catch the elusive barramundi, or a guided hike to see ancient Aboriginal rock art. Choose your own adventure!
Midday: Enjoy a delicious lunch made with local ingredients!

How many guests join a Kimberley cruise?
True North cruises are small ship luxury cruises, which means an intimate and personalised adventure! We host a maximum number of 36 guests on True North and 20 on the True North II so that you get exclusive access to remote Kimberley areas, tailored experiences from our expert crew, and a close-knit atmosphere for sharing the journey with fellow adventurers.
What should I pack for a Kimberley cruise?
Bring your sense of adventure and prepare for an unforgettable journey! Amphibious walking shoes are highly recommended for exploring rugged terrains, but if you don’t have these, don’t stress–you can purchase them onboard! Don’t forget lightweight, breathable clothing, a hat, sunscreen, insect repellant, a good camera for capturing stunning landscapes, and binoculars if you’re keen for some wildlife spotting! Pack swimwear for refreshing dips, and a light jacket for any cooler evenings.
What do you wear on a Kimberley Cruise?
Loose-fitting adventure wear is ideal during the day through the Kimberley region, with something long-sleeved to protect you from the sun. The atmosphere onboard is always relaxed, so something nice and casual for the evenings is fine.
When is the best time to take a Kimberley Cruise?
The best time to embark on a Kimberley cruise is between March and October. During these months, you’ll experience the dry season, which offers great weather, calm seas, and clear skies. Early in the season, you can witness waterfalls at their most spectacular following the wet season’s rains, while later months provide ideal conditions for exploring the region’s rugged landscapes and abundant wildlife. Whether you’re looking to hike, fish, or simply soak in the breathtaking scenery, this period ensures the best possible conditions for your adventure!
What are the must-dos on a True North Kimberley cruise?
There are countless unforgettable experiences to be had–here are just a few!
Fly over Montgomery Reef: Witness the stunning tidal phenomenon from the ship’s helicopter.
Enjoy a heli-picnic: Indulge in a gourmet picnic at a secluded spot, accessible only by helicopter.
Explore ancient rock art: Discover ancient Aboriginal rock art sites and gain insight into the rich cultural heritage of the traditional owners.
Shower on the bow at King Cascade: Take a refreshing ‘shower on the bow’ under the cascading waters.
Marvel at King George Falls: Be awe-inspired by the majestic King George Falls and King George River.
Go mud-crabbing with the chefs: Join the chefs on a mud-crabbing expedition and enjoy the freshest catch, cooked to perfection!
Catch a Barramundi: Try your hand at fishing for the prized barramundi.
How long do Kimberley cruises typically last?
Our cruise itineraries typically range from 7 to 14 days, depending on the itinerary and the specific areas you’ll explore.

Your Kimberley cruise can be as physically demanding as you want it to be! We have a range of excursions that involve moderate physical activity, like hiking and climbing over rocky terrain. But there are also plenty of opportunities for more relaxed activities, like swims in secluded waterholes, beach picnics, fishing and more.
