The Kimberley's is a destination that surpasses expectations, offering a phenomenal experience that ticks all the boxes.

Its exceptional scenery, pleasant weather, calm seas, diverse wildlife, and abundant birdlife make it an unforgettable destination.

This morning's excursion began with a 7:50 am Zodiac ride to the beach, where we boarded a helicopter for a flight to Mitchell's Falls. The 20-25 minute helicopter ride provided a thrilling perspective on the region's stunning cliffs and waterways, much like being in a real-life Jurassic Park.
We spotted crocodiles swimming downstream, and the view from above was truly breathtaking. With approximately 120 minutes to explore the falls, we walked, climbed rocks, and swam in the waterhole.

Following our return helicopter ride, we spent the afternoon on Zodiacs with our guide, embarking on a crocodile-spotting cruise.

Fun fact, there's a rock formation known as Yamaha Rock, named for the motorboats that have suffered engine damage on the shallow, rocky river.

Although this excursion came with a hefty price tag, it was the only optional extra on our expedition cruise and undoubtedly worth the expense.

Isabelle here, aboard the fabulous Seabourn Pursuit, discovering the Kimberley coast with APT !

Day 3 already and we have done so much! From some fabulous wild encounters in King George river, to the absolute beauty and bird life of Ashmore reef, it’s been an adventure of a lifetime.

Loving the Zodiac rides, the contrast of colours of the Kimberley coast and the knowledge we gain everyday from our amazing expedition crew!

I’m loving this ‘ new’ type of exploration cruising and can’t wait to see what we are doing tomorrow…

Hello, I'm Isabelle. I'm thrilled to be sailing on the elegant Seabourn Pursuit with APT.

The Pursuit is an expedition ship catering to 264 guests, presently cruising along the picturesque Kimberley coast of Australia.

Life on an expedition ship is quite dynamic, with Zodiac excursions and expert insights from the expedition team. Our experiences include Zodiac cruises, wet and dry landings, outstanding wildlife viewing, and a truly unforgettable experience. Here's a sneak peek at the ship below.

Impressions of Oceania Riviera.

We have long considered the 7 night, one way cruise between Anchorage and Vancouver (or Seattle) to be the best experience, removing the big return backtrack and allowing more port time and Alaskan sightseeing.

This itinerary is available with many of our amazing cruise operators, however this experience with Oceania Riviera adds a more intimate dimension, with less passengers, incredibly attentive crew and personalised recognition.

Special dietaries are well considered, there is a “News from Home” letter at night along with current affairs related to the ship, announcements are kept to a minimum… it’s peaceful and not “Peaceville”.

The cabin has a spacious bathroom, with a step in shower that you both can use, however the ceiling is low, if you’re over 6ft you’ll be ducking!

Your stateroom bed is amazing, great pillows with a cloud like doona.

The couch is easily wide enough for 2 but not long enough for a husband in trouble, the desk and chair is adequate to shelve stuff but catching up with work is better upstairs in Baristas Bar.

It’s Alaska too so the balcony is a fool’s paradise, or for really naughty husbands.

Our fellow passengers are a pretty trim lot, yes they’re mostly retirees but they’re active and not ancient, I think that’s reflective of Oceania and their focus towards mid sized vessels, with port intensive itineraries, a high crew to guest ratio, excellent (although not abundant) onboard activities and food for Foodies!

Overall, if you value your time, heath, wellbeing, education, growth and personal space then Oceania is ticking all these boxes. The daily price is higher than a 2000+ passenger ship but perhaps not so much more for the added value.

Get in touch with us if your interest is piqued.

Perfect for pre cruise or city stay, The Fairmont Waterfront Vancouver.
We have been spoiled by an incredible breakfast at Arc, followed by several room and facility inspections of this great hotel right in the perfect location for Vancouver.
The Fairmont Waterfront is one of 3 sister hotels in downtown, the middle sister (we were told) for not being as old world at Hotel Vancouver nor as modern/edgy like Pacific Rim.
Fairmont is part of the Accor Family, and perfect if you’re looking for a stay with class and surprise amenities!
Loving the room upgrade too, to a Harbour King Room!
Why not keep jetlag at bay with a jaunt up to Capilano Park to explore the natural beauty of the ravine and forest?
It’s only 20mins on the free shuttle from Waterfront !
We’re hunting down a good coffee … but alas, wrong continent for that 😂
