Today the Kimberley remains one of the world’s truly unique wilderness areas - a wild and beautiful panorama of rugged mountain ranges, spectacular gorges and majestic waterfalls.
Our 34 metre vessel “True North” is in a class of its own featuring state of the art technology and the ultimate in comfort and style. Departing from Broome or Wyndham, True North can accommodate up to 28 passengers in a choice of cabin styles.
An open-air bar is the perfect venue for a sunset cocktail and a gourmet chef prepares fine meals served in a spacious and fully air-conditioned dining lounge.
Five tender vessels ensure that passengers can experience the Kimberley “up close” and in small groups. The True North sails complete with its very own helicopter! The helicopter provides unique opportunities to witness grandeur and can carry six passengers in air-conditioned comfort.
Cruises are conducted between March and September when you can expect warm days, mild nights and little chance of rain. Activities are almost exclusively confined to calm water and protected anchorages. A relatively low-moderate level of exertion is required and the True North’s legendary crew is always on hand to assist.
A voyage of discovery aboard the “True North” from Fremantle to the fabulous Ningaloo Reef.
We will visit the Houtman Abrolhos whose islands and surrounding waters are rich in natural history. Shark Bay – a ‘World Heritage’ marine environment where you will have opportunities to swim on the deserted beaches of Dirk Hartog Island. Other destinations include Quobba Point and Gnarloo.
We stop at Coral Bay where as soon as you step onto the brilliant white beach you will see fish and corals within metres of the shoreline.
Our spotter plane we will hopefully locate the Ningaloo Marine Parks’ most famous resident – the awesome whale shark! Swimming with these harmless giants is a once in a lifetime experience.
In between ‘mind-blowing’ whale shark encounters we’ll also squeeze in some light game fishing for the tenacious mackerel and visit the ruins of a whaling station.
