Must Dos to Include for Kimberley Cruises 2019 Packages

The Kimberley spans over 421,000 square kilometres and only has a population of approximately 40,000 people. This means that there are less people in the Kimberley per kilometre than almost every other place on the planet. The Kimberley region is also incredibly diverse. From the clear, blue waters and majestic waterfalls to camel rides in Broome and 4WDs to Kununurra to the Gibb River Road, there are so many sights to see that it can be difficult to fit them all into one break. So, here are some things you must include when planning your 2019 Kimberley cruise.

Broome

Broome provides the opportunity for watching a stunning sunset into the Indian Ocean, look at 130 million year old rock preserved dinosaur footprints or just enjoy a picnic on Town Beach. Broome was also once the centre of the global pearling industry, so it is an ideal spot to buy pearls or simply visit the pearl museum.

Kununurra

The orange and black gigantic striped rock structures of the Bungle Bungles are in the Purnululu National Park. These landmarks are geographically stunning and rise to 578 metres above sea level, sheltering fan palms, diverse wildlife, crystal clear pools and gorges. You can explore this area by air, 4WD or on foot, so make sure a stop off is scheduled into your Western Australia cruises 2019 itinerary.

Derby Wharf

There is nothing more spectacular than watching the sunset over King Sound from the Derby Wharf. There is also other sights at Derby including the Boab Prison Tree that has a girth of over 14 metres and is 1,500 years old. You can also travel from Derby to the Buccaneer Archipelago. These islands are home to Horizontal Waterfalls and South Sea Pearl farms, making them well worth a visit.

The Great Gorges

Finally, no trip to the Kimberley would be complete without seeing some of the great gorges. There is spectacular Aboriginal rock art, the majestic Mitchell Falls, and amazing gorges. The Gibb River Road area is also home to unique native vegetation and diverse fauna. The most famous of the great gorges are along the Gibb River Road, but after the wet season has ended, the waterfalls do disappear into small pools, so you’ll need to plan the timing of your trip carefully, so you can see the area at its most impressive.

The Kimberley is a spectacular and remote frontier of magnificent coastline, rugged areas, isolated mountains, majestic waterfalls and palm fringed gorges. The area is rich in Aboriginal culture and history, so there is something for everyone.
