Kimberley Quest II Luxury Kimberley Cruises

Discover the award-winning Kimberley Quest II, an intimate 18-guest expedition vessel offering luxury cruises along Western Australia’s Kimberley coast — the definition of luxury Kimberley cruising.

KIMBERLEY II LUXURY CRUISES

Discover one of Australia’s most remote coastal regions aboard the Kimberley Quest II, a purpose-built expedition vessel created for intimate, small-group exploration.

At 25 metres long and carrying no more than 18 guests, the vessel combines access, adventure and personal service. Therefore, guests can explore narrow river systems, hidden bays and remote coastal locations that larger ships may not be able to reach.

Meanwhile, life on board remains relaxed and comfortable. Air-conditioned cabins, alfresco viewing areas, freshly prepared meals and a welcoming crew provide a comfortable base between daily excursions.

With itineraries ranging from 4 to 21 days, every Kimberley Quest voyage offers an adventure tailored to your travel style. Guided by experienced local experts who know the region intimately, you'll gain a deeper appreciation of the Kimberley's ancient landscapes, rich history, and remarkable wildlife. Their passion and knowledge bring every destination to life, creating unforgettable memories and making each journey one of the most immersive Kimberley coastal cruises available.

Whether you want to see ancient rock art, dramatic waterfalls, tidal landscapes or isolated wilderness, a Kimberley Quest II cruise offers a close and memorable way to experience the Kimberley coast.

THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW

Why Cruise on the Kimberley Quest II?

Ask the Kimberley Cruise experts what they think is best for you

The Kimberley is vast, remote and shaped by powerful tides. As a result, the vessel you choose can have a major effect on your experience.

The Kimberley Quest II was custom-built for this coastline. Its smaller size allows the crew to respond to local conditions and take guests closer to secluded locations. In addition, three excursion tenders support daily exploration away from the main vessel.

Because only 18 guests travel at a time, the atmosphere feels personal rather than crowded. You can get to know the crew, speak with local guides and enjoy the scenery without sharing every moment with hundreds of other passengers.

Key Kimberley Quest II Features

  • Maximum of 18 guests
  • Seven crew members
  • Nine air-conditioned cabins
  • Private ensuite bathrooms
  • Indoor and outdoor alfresco areas
  • Three excursion tenders

Special dietary needs, including gluten-free and coeliac requirements, can generally be accommodated when arranged in advance.

Each day brings a new landscape and a different way to explore it. However, activities depend on the chosen itinerary, tides, weather and local access conditions.

Possible experiences include:

  • Travelling through remote river systems by tender
  • Viewing ancient Aboriginal rock art
  • Walking through gorges and rugged landscapes
  • Visiting waterfalls and secluded swimming locations
  • Fishing in tidal creeks and coastal waters
  • Watching birds and native wildlife
  • Exploring caves, beaches and isolated islands

KIMBERLEY QUEST II CRUISE DESTINATIONS

Where Does the Kimberley Quest II Cruise?

Kimberley Quest II itineraries explore sections of Western Australia’s remote Kimberley coastline. Depending on the selected voyage, cruises may travel between Broome, Wyndham, Mitchell Plateau, Swift Bay and other coastal transfer points.

Potential destination highlights include:

Montgomery Reef

Montgomery Reef appears to rise from the ocean as the tide falls and water rushes from the reef system. It is one of the Kimberley’s most remarkable tidal landscapes.

👉 Read our guide to Montgomery Reef

Horizontal Falls

Powerful tidal movement forces water through narrow gaps in the surrounding ranges, creating the effect known as the Horizontal Falls.

👉 Explore our Horizontal Falls travel guide

King George Falls

In the northern Kimberley, the twin King George Falls drop from high sandstone cliffs into the river below. Water flow changes throughout the season, so conditions differ between departures.

👉 Check our King George Falls Guide

Mitchell Falls and Mitchell Plateau

Selected itineraries may include aircraft transfers and a scenic helicopter flight over Mitchell Falls. However, flight arrangements and inclusions depend on the specific cruise.

👉 Read our Mitchell Falls Guide

Prince Frederick Harbour and the Hunter River

These remote waterways are known for dramatic scenery, mangrove systems, birdlife and wildlife-viewing opportunities.

👉 Prince Frederick Harbour Guide

👉 Hunter River Guide

Swift Bay

Swift Bay is culturally significant and is known for rock art galleries, including Wandjina and Gwion Gwion traditions. Access to cultural sites is managed carefully and may require Traditional Owner visitor permits.


Kimberley Quest II Cruise Itineraries

The operator offers several voyage lengths, ranging from shorter introductions to extended coastal expeditions. Current options may include cruises of approximately 4 to 21 days.

Short Kimberley Cruises

A shorter voyage can suit travellers who have limited time or want an introduction to small-ship expedition cruising.

Eight-Day Kimberley Cruises

Eight-day itineraries generally focus on either the northern or southern section of the Kimberley coast. Some routes combine cruising with light-aircraft or helicopter transfers.

Extended Kimberley Expeditions

Longer voyages provide more time to travel between remote destinations. In addition, guests may experience a wider range of river systems, cultural sites, waterfalls, fishing locations and coastal scenery.

Schedules, routes and destinations can change because of weather, tides or operational conditions. Therefore, review the complete itinerary before booking.
