We recommend that you arrive in Broome the day before departure as transfers will commence the following morning from 9am.

Then it’s all aboard the Eco Abrolhos as you meet the crew and go through the onboard vessel safety induction prior to our departure from Broome. An overnight voyage will find you awakening to a geological landscape unique only to the Kimberley.

Dinner included.

Day 2: Yampi Sound - Talbot Bay

Welcome to the Kimberley – feel the whirlpool movements of tidal water beneath your feet as we set out on the tenders to discover one of the many smaller creek systems of the Buccaneer Archipelago, also known as the Bay of 1000 islands.

Let the geological sequence of time unfold before your very eyes as you prepare to visit the renowned Horizontal Falls in Talbot Bay. Finish the day with the first of our many magnificent Kimberley sunsets and take in the picturesque landscape as you reflect on the day’s activities coming to an end.

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.

Day 3: Collier Bay - Doubtful Bay

Today you will experience the natural phenomenon of the Montgomery Reef – terraced waterfalls of ocean water flowing off an exposed coral reef system. A tender ride ensures a closer look at this incredible seascape as we check out the abundant marine life that call this place home.

A Cruise into Doubtful Bay as we learn of our First Australians and their long-term connection to Raft Point.

Lunchtime onboard the Eco Abrolhos, time to steam to our next destination- Red Cone Creek. Off for a quick splash exploring the Mangrove ecosystem by tender, finding our way to either Sapphire Creek or Ruby falls.

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.

Day 4: Camden Harbour - St George Basin

We are now heading north to the ill-fated township of the Camden Harbour Settlement, an incredible story of resilience as we walk in time through the history and ruins that include a short beach landing to Sheep Island and the Camden Harbour Settlement.

A late afternoon cruise through to the Rothsay Waters where we will venture into Marigui Promontory via the tenders to see remnant rainforest in Palm Valley. An art gallery can be viewed from the comfort of our tenders.

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.

Day 5: St George Basin - Prince Regent River

An early morning fishing session in the “Land of the Giants” for those that are interested. Soon after we will be back on-board the Eco Abrolhos cruising through the St George Basin and into the Mighty Prince Regent River National Park. Tender rides will place you beneath the amazing King’s Cascades.

This location provides an adventurous trek and opportunity for a swim on top of the falls or the option to continue further upstream to see the spectacular Cathedral Falls.

Returning to the Eco Abrolhos for a well-deserved top deck sundowner with nibbles and entertainment.

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.

Day 6: Prince Regent River - Port Nelson

Good morning again, it is time to head out on the tenders to discover Camp Creek. Another opportunity to see some of the larger marine reptiles that inhabit this place, and of course the birdlife of the mangrove lined river system.

Breakfast back on-board the Eco Abrolhos whilst we steam to Port Nelson and visit the most northern reaches of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

Here we will learn of the amazing voyages of Phillip Parker King as we tour Careening Bay and the famous “Mermaid Tree”
Its back on-board the Eco Abrolhos with a steam to our next destination Naturalist Island.

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.

Day 7: Naturalist Island - Hunter River - Prudhoe Island

Wake up to a serene landscape that will take your breath away. During the morning, our Helicopter tours (Optional extra) will depart from Naturalist Island and encompass the spectacular Mitchell Falls and surrounds.

Back on-board the Eco Abrolhos for a bite to eat as we begin our voyage further north through the Scott Strait to arrive at a secluded anchorage near Prudhoe Island.

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.

Day 8: Prudhoe Island

An opportunity to try your hand at pelagic fishing, a session looking for some larger predators being mackerel, tuna and queen fish.

After fishing we venture around the islands in search of turtle, dugong and crocodiles on the island outcrop. The local Wunambal Gaambera people would ask a great sea Wandjina Guyarra for a seasons blessing before foraging for food this far off the coastline. The geological make up of these islands is fascinating and breath taking as well.

It’s time to pull the anchor as we head due east towards Swift Bay.

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.

Day 9: Swift Bay - Port Warrender

We head out early to experience a Wandjina Rock Art Site, a place of great significance to the Wunambal Gaambera people of the North Kimberley.

We now steam to Port Warrender and the picturesque Osborne Islands.

On arrival to the Osborne Islands, we take a tender tour of this area where we visit a Pearl Farm (subject to availability), a historical shipwreck and an ancient rock art site. So much to explore and learn here, time to rest up whilst we cruise through to Vansittart Bay.

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.

Day 10: Vansittart Bay

Its early morning as we head out on the tenders to a not so well-known World War 2 historical site. After a short and easy stroll, we encounter what now remains of this historical event of time. You can be sure that our Eco-guides will point out the natural vegetation, including patches of native grassland and wildflowers along the way.

After a scrumptious breakfast, it is time to visit the mysterious Jar Island where we will view an ancient art gallery lost in time. This is yet another place that clearly depicts the early occupation of Indigenous Australia adding another form of rock art known locally as Gwion Gwion or (Bradshaw) to your visit to the Kimberley.

After returning to the Eco Abrolhos for lunch, we are now heading to the southernmost point of the Vansittart Bay.

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.

Day 11: Vansittart Bay - Broome Napier Bay

The tenders are all ready to go again, it’s a beach landing at Rocky Cove. Here, we will take you on a hike along a winding rocky path to experience scattered rock art sites that without explanation can show clearly a connection to Indigenous Australia.

Eco Abrolhos crew will weigh anchor to make our way through to Broome Napier Bay and the amazing Drysdale River. The tenders will head off to the farther reaches of this river to explore a unique landscape where the freshwater meets the saltwater.

Heading off once again through to Koolama Bay, put your feet up and enjoy the ride.

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.

Day 12: Koolama Bay - King George River

Welcome to Koolama Bay, a site named after the vessel SS Koolama. Take in an early account of the WW2 bombing that took place here.

It’s now time to head out on our tenders to explore the overwhelming King George River, a river that boasts the highest waterfalls in Western Australia. This is not to be missed as these falls are not only a spectacular sight, but this is also an opportunity for a fresh waterfall shower from one of our comfortable tenders.

Its time to soak in another amazing day in the Kimberley with a quiet beverage and relaxed conversation.

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.

Day 13: Berkeley River - Cambridge Gulf

As we cross the mouth of the Berkeley River and head to its extremity to our anchorage, it is time for a scenic tender ride. Here, you will capture the Malcom Douglas Falls whilst keeping a close lookout for the elusive short eared rock wallaby and the majestic birds of prey that frequent this place.

On our way back to the Eco Abrolhos you can be sure to visit the Casuarina Falls. A natural amphitheatre carved out in time.

On returning to the Eco Abrolhos, we now head out of the Berkeley River toward the Cambridge Gulf and the Lynne River.

Price Assurance

At Eclipse Travel, our expert destination knowledge and decades of travel planning experience come at no extra cost to you. While many think booking through a tour operator is more expensive than planning a trip independently, that’s not the case. We’re paid by our travel partners—such as hotels, activity operators, and cruise providers—via commissions, not by our clients.

Our team negotiates the best rates for you and ensures you receive unbiased advice, with no preference for any particular supplier. In fact, where we secure higher commissions, we often pass the savings on to you, giving us a competitive price edge.

Additionally, we lock in exchange rates at the time of your deposit, ensuring no surprise costs when it’s time for final payment. You can rest easy knowing we’ll handle the details with our suppliers. The only exceptions are national park fee increases or fuel surcharges imposed after your booking, though these are rare.

Take advantage of our team’s expertise and let us help you plan the perfect holiday—hassle-free!
