7 Days Kimberley Explorer
Itinerary summary
About
Discover one of Australia’s last true frontiers on a seven-day private yacht charter through the breathtaking Kimberley coast. Beginning in Broome, you'll set sail through a rugged and ancient landscape shaped by powerful tides, towering red cliffs, and a labyrinth of hidden waterways. This is not only a voyage through raw nature, but a curated journey of indulgence, discovery, and complete seclusion.
Swim in the glassy turquoise waters of Silica Beach. Witness the awe-inspiring power of the Horizontal Falls at Talbot Bay. Glide past the remote majesty of the Kingfisher Islands and wander the unspoiled beauty of Redcone Creek. At Montgomery Reef, the ocean appears to defy gravity as it flows in reverse. Conclude your expedition in scenic Cygnet Bay, a place of cultural richness and ancient tides. Every moment of this voyage offers something unforgettable, an immersion into a world that feels entirely your own.




Broome
Starting your Kimberley exploration
Your adventure begins in Broome, the gateway to the wild Kimberley coast. This vibrant town fuses rich Indigenous culture with a storied pearling legacy. Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed aboard your private yacht by a warm and attentive crew. A champagne toast and light tropical lunch await on the aft deck as the yacht prepares to cast off.
As you cruise away from the mainland, you’ll leave behind paved roads and city life for good. Broome’s vivid sunsets stretch across Cable Beach and ignite the sky in a blaze of orange and gold, your first hint of the Kimberley’s raw beauty. With gentle sea breezes and the rhythmic lapping of the water, the journey begins in style and comfort.

Cygnet Bay
The Gateway to The Kimberley's
The next morning, arrive in Cygnet Bay, set on the tip of the Dampier Peninsula. Surrounded by dramatic rust-red cliffs and sweeping tidal flows, Cygnet Bay is steeped in thousands of years of Aboriginal culture and natural wonder.
Explore one of the world’s oldest family-owned pearl farms, where you’ll learn about traditional pearl diving and cultivation methods passed down for generations. Sample rare South Sea pearls straight from the source or enjoy a helicopter flight over the Buccaneer Archipelago, where a mosaic of island outcrops and turquoise channels stretches beyond the horizon.
As the yacht drops anchor for the evening, enjoy fresh barramundi or pearl meat prepared by your onboard chef, paired with chilled Western Australian wine beneath a canopy of stars.

Silica Beach
(Pure White Beauty)
Cruise into a pristine pocket of paradise: Silica Beach. Hidden within Hidden Island, this untouched gem is famous for its powdery white sand and impossibly clear aquamarine water. With no development, no crowds, and no footprints in the sand, it’s like stepping into a forgotten dream.
Spend the morning swimming or snorkeling in warm, calm shallows where parrotfish and gentle rays glide between coral bommies. Or relax with a spa-inspired morning on deck—complete with chilled eucalyptus towels, herbal teas, and yoga under the sun.
Later, enjoy a gourmet beach picnic prepared by your crew. Surrounded by jungle-covered hills, dramatic headlands, and the gentle rhythm of waves, this stop delivers pure serenity in every direction.

Talbot Bay
The Heart of The Kimberleys
Venture inland to Talbot Bay, where nature flexes its most extraordinary force at the iconic Horizontal Falls. Created by massive Kimberley tides, among the highest in the world, these twin gaps in the McLarty Range funnel millions of liters of seawater through narrow gorges, creating a roaring sideways waterfall.
Board a high-speed tender or seaplane to ride the surge for an adrenaline-filled adventure. For those preferring a quieter moment, enjoy the spectacle from a safe vantage point as the yacht drifts nearby, surrounded by steep sandstone escarpments.
Talbot Bay is also home to tranquil mangrove forests and marine life including turtles, reef sharks, and dolphins. As dusk settles over the cliffs, the sky deepens to hues of violet and indigo, offering one of the most cinematic sunsets of the entire journey.

Kingfisher Islands
Untouched and Unforgettable
Cruise northward to the Kingfisher Islands, a chain of remote islets and rocky outcrops where nature reigns in near-total isolation. These islands are a haven for nesting seabirds, curious dolphins, and migratory whales breaching in the distance during the season.
Disembark for a guided nature walk along windswept ridges and sandy beaches, where wildflowers bloom in bursts of color and the only sounds are birdsong and the breeze. This is raw Kimberley wilderness at its most peaceful, untouched, uninhabited, and utterly immersive.
You may also enjoy fishing from the tender, kayaking along the rocky shoreline, or simply soaking in the vastness of this hidden refuge while your chef prepares a fresh seafood feast onboard.

Redcone Creek
Red Rocky Cliffs
Enter the winding entrance to Redcone Creek, where ochre cliffs and mangrove forests create a dramatic amphitheater of color and texture. Navigate upstream to Ruby Falls, a seasonal freshwater cascade that tumbles into a crystal-clear plunge pool.
Take a refreshing swim beneath the falls or explore the creek’s edge for birdwatching opportunities, look out for Brahminy kites, honeyeaters, and white-bellied sea eagles. This tranquil hideaway is perfect for an afternoon of soft exploration and quiet reflection.
In the evening, enjoy cocktails on the flybridge as the surrounding cliffs glow crimson in the golden hour. The stillness of this anchorage will be among your most cherished memories.

Montgomery Reef
Discover the Underwater World
Perhaps the most otherworldly stop on the journey, Montgomery Reef appears to rise from the ocean as the tide recedes, revealing over 300 square kilometers of exposed reef, cascading waterfalls, and narrow coral channels alive with movement.
Glide through this dynamic seascape aboard the tender, where you’ll likely spot green turtles, rays, reef sharks, and dozens of fish species in shallow waters. The visual transformation is nothing short of magical: seawater drains off the reef in torrents, creating waterfalls and whirlpools as far as the eye can see.
This is a moment only possible with the rhythm of the tides. Return to your vessel to enjoy panoramic views over this surreal marine landscape, glass of champagne in hand.

Cygnet Bay
The Final Scenic Cruise Back
On your final day, the yacht returns to Cygnet Bay for disembarkation. Before your departure, enjoy a relaxed breakfast on deck or a quick tender ashore for one last walk along the coast. You may wish to visit the Cygnet Bay Pearl showroom to take home a keepsake from the journey.
Your crew will arrange a seamless transfer to Broome or coordinate with flights departing from Cygnet Bay Airport. Though your voyage comes to a close, the memories of wild luxury, remote discovery, and one-of-a-kind Kimberley moments will remain long after the tide has pulled away.
