‘A trip down the coast’ will take on an entirely new meaning after discovering the endless beaches that skirt Cape Le Grand, the wonders of the Bremer Bay Canyon and the flavours of the Margaret River, both on your plate and in your glass. So, why don’t you pack a bag and we’ll meet you in Esperance?
Flights from Perth to Esperance are included.
Please note: This is a sample itinerary only. Prevailing conditions, local arrangements, and what we discover on the day may cause variation. Helicopter flights can be purchased additional to the indicated tariff as a package or individually.
Please refer to the Departure Dates to determine if this itinerary is available on the True North or True North II.
Your adventure begins in Perth before a short flight to the town of Esperance where we’ll transfer you to the True North and the luxuries of our renowned galley.
Not long after your first delicious True North breakfast, we’ll arrive at Middle Island to visit pristine Lake Hillier. Here you’ll witness the breathtaking pink hues of the lake and royal blues of the Southern Ocean. Then, in the afternoon we’ll adventure to Cape Le Grand, landing ashore on the first of many stunning beaches for a refreshing swim or snorkel.
A short overnight cruise will take us to our anchorage at the secluded Duke of Orleans Bay. The area is home to numerous colonies of New Zealand fur seals and schools of bottlenose dolphins where you can dive, snorkel, swim, stand up paddle board or kayak.
The Bremer Bay deep sea canyon lies just off the small town of Bremer Bay. The discovery of this spot is relatively new, so you’ll be one of the first in the world to witness the magic of it. Here in these nutrient rich waters we’ll find sharks, dolphins, sperm whales, giant squid and even killer whales that we’ll watch from the bow of the True North. Then we’ll anchor in the turquoise waters of Bremer Bay, to relax, swim, snorkel or fish.
This morning we set our sights on Albany where we’ll discover the town’s fascinating Aboriginal and European history. Then visit the town’s historic Whaling Station or could join us on a fishing session to catch herring, King George whiting, flathead, cobbler and pink snapper.
Wake up on Day 6 in picturesque Hamelin Bay where you can join us for a fishing expedition or snorkel with the friendly stingrays in this spot’s pristine waters. Afterwards, take a tour of the famous Margaret River wine region and taste it on your plate with an exquisite lunch made from fresh local seafood and farm produce.
Start your morning with a breathtaking walking tracks of Cape Naturaliste. Afterwards the tenders will depart for a scenic trip along the coastline, to spot the local colony of New Zealand fur seals. Then, as our fishers catch tonight’s dinner, we’ll visit the settlement of Dunsborough followed by an afternoon anchorage in Eagle Bay. Here, enjoy the stunning white sand and azure water with a beach cocktail and sunset.
Join us on an unbelievable experience swimming with wild dolphins in the the sheltered waters of Rockingham’s bays and islands. Then, head off to the protected nature reserve, Rottnest Island. Here you can snorkel, fish, bike around the island or take a selfie with a famous quokka. If you’re a diver, descend into the warm waters of the Leeuwin current and explore the beautiful reef filled with hard corals and fish, unique swim throughs, channels and caves.
Even the most incredible adventures must come to an end, and while this expedition finishes with an early morning disembarkment in Fremantle, your life changing experience onboard True North is bound to stay with you forever.
