Timeless Kimberley: Kununurra to Broome

Ten nights from Kununurra to Broome aboard Paspaley Pearl, thirty guests, boarding at Wyndham.

10 nights, Kununurra to Broome

Thirty guests, ten nights, from the Ord to Broome

An Ord River cruise in Kununurra, then Wyndham and the coast west: the King George River, three days in the Bonaparte, Prince Frederick Harbour, Paspaley’s pearl farm at Kuri Bay, Collier Bay around Montgomery Reef and the Buccaneer Archipelago.

With thirty guests and two expedition boats, there is time to fish the creeks, walk an empty beach and stand in front of a rock art site without hurrying. And Kuri Bay is the family’s own farm.

Signature moments

Five days on the coast, east to west

From the Ord River to Broome, these are the days it is built around.

The King George gorge

Twin falls 80 metres high on the first full day, close enough to feel the spray.

Day by day

Kununurra to Broome, day by day

Day by day, east to west. The tides set the order, and the expedition leader decides each evening on deck.

An optional Ord River cruise, then the transfer to Wyndham to board.

Aboard Paspaley Pearl

Thirty guests in fifteen cabins, 21 crew, two aluminium expedition boats and two Zodiacs. She holds position without anchoring, and belongs to Paspaley, which is why Kuri Bay is on the route.

Evenings at anchor

We want to make your journey as easy as possible

Ten nights aboard Paspaley Pearl in the stateroom or suite of your choice, the expedition programme by boat, Zodiac and on foot, fishing with gear and guidance, and the kayaks, paddleboards and snorkelling gear on board. We set out exactly what the fare covers in your proposal.

Flights to Kununurra and home from Broome, hotel nights either side, transport to and from the ship unless the itinerary includes it, premium and à la carte drinks, laundry, travel insurance, which Pearl requires, and personal expenses.

Kununurra has far fewer flights than Broome or Darwin, so we plan the flight in with a night in town before you board.
