Embark on an unforgettable expedition to the heart of the Kimberley, one of Australia’s wildest and most pristine regions. Over the course of 11 days, explore a variety of breathtakingly beautiful sites, including the Lacepede Islands, home to numerous birds and sea turtles; Montgomery Reef, with its lagoons and immense coral reefs; the crocodile-infested mangroves of the Hunter River; and the stunning Vansittart and Swift bays. The absolute highlight of the trip will be the majestic King George Falls. Featuring waterfalls, steep gorges, savannah, crystal-clear waters and desolate mountain ranges, this adventure will transport you to one of the last unspoilt regions on Earth.
