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 Broome and home from Kununurra, 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 home around the morning you step ashore, and a night in Broome before you board.
