Your “welcome aboard” the magnificent True North is in the pearling port of Broome. Embarkation is at 1700 – time for a
cocktail with your fellow adventurers before departing at approximately 1830. Dinner is served shortly after leaving port
and then it’s an overnight cruise to Yampi Sound.

Awake to the majestic Kimberley and savour an irresistible True North breakfast as we glide past Cockatoo & Koolan Islands
- our attentive crew will be happy to introduce the colourful histories of both! Then it’s time to ‘personally’ introduce you to
a Kimberley icon – The Horizontal Falls. Experience the awesome power of the region’s huge tidal range in an exhilarating
tender ride and then climb aboard your air-conditioned helicopter for a view of the falls that very few experience! Then
– you will have hardly had a chance to catch your breath when, for those who can’t wait one minute longer, Leadline
Creek will be the first opportunity to ‘land a barra’! Before you know it, your first day onboard will be coming to an end
– but there’s still time to select a fine wine and to enjoy a leisurely evening meal as we cruise to Doubtful Bay. |

Three Ways presents an early morning opportunity to continue ‘the hunt for the elusive barramundi’! There will also be
plenty of time for exploring No Name Creek and, for a refreshing swim at beautiful Ruby Falls! After lunch the well-preserved
Wandjina paintings of Raft Point will intrigue before we cruise to the mouth of the Sale River and our overnight anchorage. |
| Day
3 |
This morning is devoted to exploring the Sale River. Fish the mouth for barra and then join naturalists and adventurers
alike as we ‘ride the tide’ on a classic river expedition! Enjoy a swim in your very own billabong before returning to the
ultimate comfort of the True North. Then, you’ll probably be enjoying lunch as we weigh anchor and cruise for another
Kimberley icon - Montgomery Reef! Montgomery is a unique eco-system that must be seen to be believed – and see it
you will – as 140 square miles of coral reef rises out of the ocean right before your very eyes! Water cascades from the reef
as the tide falls exposing a privileged glimpse of another world! Turtles, dugong, manta rays and every imaginable sea
creature abound and the helicopter puts all in perspective! |
| Day
4 |
The scenery will astound and there are some ‘not to be missed’ fishing spots as the True North graces the majestic Prince
Regent River! At Kings Cascades we manoeuvre the True North right under the falls before yet another breathtaking
helicopter flight to a picnic that you’ll never forget – True North’s mouth-watering cuisine alongside a crystal clear
billabong – in one of the most remote places on earth! The helicopter will also be popular when the first group of intrepid
explorers returns from Jurassic Park! Then we’ll rejoin the True North for the infamous Captain’s Party and overnight
anchorage off Camp Creek. |
| Day
5 |
The ‘early risers’ will be treated to a heli flight with a difference – a ‘champagne sunrise’ on the top of a mountain! Then its
time for more ‘adventure in the tender’ – a chance to stretch the laces on your hiking boots and to swim in yet another
picture perfect billabong! The more adventurous will heli-fish ‘billabongs that have never been fished’ and all will find their
own special part of the mighty Regent! |
| Day
6 |
Time to visit one of the Kimberley’s most historic sites – Phillip Parker King’s boab tree. Then fish for golden snapper as we
make our way into the Prince Frederick Harbour – one of the Kimberley’s most scenic waterways. Today’s scenic flights will
include the Roe, Moran and Hunter Rivers. Hopefully we’ll have time for a sunset drink on Naturaliste Island and then it’s a
short steam into the magnificent Hunter River. |
| Day
7 |
All too soon it’s time to leave the ultimate luxury of the True North. However the adventure is not over yet - you’ll start the
day early with another exhilarating helicopter experience! The Hunter River is about as far away as you can get in Australia
and your transfer ashore will be over a stunning river system that is lined with dense mangrove forests, surrounded by
rainforest encrusted mountains and home to man-eating crocodiles. Then a light aircraft transfer to Kununurra and, our
crew will already be looking forward to the next opportunity to welcome you aboard the TRUE NORTH! |
