Welcome Aboard
Be welcomed aboard the True North in Broome with a cocktail in hand before we overnight steam to Yampi Sound.

Awake to the majestic Kimberley, and spend the day visiting the region’s collection of over 800 islands. Known for its rich biodiversity, mangroves and white sandy beaches providing a sanctuary to an array of wildlife. We’ll also offer stunning scenic flights over the region including flying over the famous Horizontal Falls. Along with fishing, sightseeing tours with the ship’s naturalists and a visit to the squeaky white sands of Silica Beach before we set sail for Doubtful Bay.
Montgomery Reef
Today you’ll have the chance to rise at dawn to fish at “Three Ways”, followed by a bush walk to Ruby Falls and swim in it’s refreshing large natural rock pool. Lunch will be served as we weigh anchor and cruise to another Kimberley icon – Montgomery Reef. Here you’ll witness a spectacular 140 square miles of coral reef that rises right out of the ocean, home to turtles, dugong, crocodiles and a whole world of spectacular sea creatures.
The Prince Regent
In the heart of the Kimberley lies the mighty Prince Regent with breathtaking scenery and unmissable fishing spots. Then, at King Cascade we’ll manoeuvre the True North right under the falls. After, you’ll have the chance to head up a bush walk to swim in yet another picture perfect billabong or to visit the spectacular Amphitheatre waterfall.
Picnic Time
Wake up at dawn for an early morning fishing expedition, see stunning rock art, or join the ship’s naturalist in one of the adventure boats. All before another breathtaking helicopter flight to a picnic alongside a crystal clear billabong in one of the most remote places on earth.
The Hunter
With stunning rainforest encrusted mountains and mangroves, fish at the Hunter River for mud crabs, bird watch, or just simply explore. Enjoy an exhilarating hike to the hidden Jackson Falls and see even more splendour from the helicopter. Then in the afternoon we’ll set sail into Prince Frederick Harbour for sunset drinks on the picturesque Crystal Beach.

Vansittart Bay
Today, we’ll see the Gwion Gwion, also known as “Bradshaw” - ancient rock art that could possibly be the oldest ‘paintings’ known to man. Then, fish for mackerel in Vansittart Bay, helicopter to Eagle Falls and enjoy picnic lunch amidst breathtaking scenery, or tender to local beaches and creeks before our overnight cruise to the King George.
The King George River
As soon as the tide is high enough at the King George, we’ll cross the sand bar at the mouth to reveal even more breathtaking river vista. Our journey upstream will take us to the spectacular King George Falls. Here you can take a shower under the falls on the bow of the ship and then fly above the twin falls in the ship’s helicopter to see a magnificent bird’s eye view of this Kimberley icon.
