Tourists have been enjoying the Kimberley Region of Australia's northwest for years, and the nearly one thousand rocky islands just off its coast. Their bays, secluded beaches, rainforests and mangroves are best explored by boat, and offer plenty of opportunities to see the sights and more.
This is why a cruise in this area is an excellent choice, with options available for interests from beach combing, birdwatching and photography to hiking and fishing. Take a longer trip to enjoy swimming in waters filled with beautiful wildlife and some island exploration, too.
You'll get the chance to see birds, sharks, whales, and saltwater crocodiles from a distance, as well as the incredible erosion of Strickland Bay, the pure white beach at Hidden island and the iron mine at Kooland Island.
You'll also have the chance to see Aboriginal art, waterfalls and pearl farms and to collect oysters or fish near the coral reef. Some cruises offer the day's catch as a meal choice to anglers.
Check out the Horizontal Falls at Talbot Bay, too - this real horizontal waterfall is caused by the way water flows through the narrow passage in the cliffs. With water building up in front of the gap faster than it goes through there's a difference of four to six meters in water level, creating a waterfall between bays.
These falls have been described as one of the greatest natural wonders of the world. However, it's important to see them on a cruise or under other safe circumstances, since extreme water conditions in this area have been responsible for many years of fatalities among pearl divers and sailors.
The good news is that if you're in the right situation, you'll be safe, with boats even passing through the waterfall. People looking for less of a thrill can see this site in a dry seaplane or helicopter.
If you want to get the most time on the islands, look for a cruise that does most of its distance traveling at night. Check out what you'll get on the tour, too - items like fishing and snorkeling gear or all your snacks and meals are sometimes provided, and sometimes cost extra.
If you're planning on an Australian adventure cruise, you'll need to take the right clothes, like lightweight fabrics that keep you cool, good walking shoes you don't mind getting wet and a wide brimmed hat. Don't forget to keep insect repellent and sunscreen, and keep your camera close to hand.
Most tours happen during the dry season, between April and November, but some also occur during Australia's wet season, since there are lots of places to shelter in rough weather. Pick your cruise according to what you want to see and how exciting you want the weather to be.
Kimberley adventure cruises are a great choice for anyone who's looking for fun. Pick a cruise that lasts long enough to let you see it all, and get all cruise details before you leave, so you'll have a great time. - 16463
