Things to do in Kimberley Coast

Remote, rugged and radiantly untouched, the Kimberley Coast stretches across the northern corner of Western Australia with more than 8,000 miles of wilderness coastline. Ancient landforms rise in deep red escarpments over turquoise water, seabirds nest across more than 2,600 offshore islands and vibrant reefs support manta rays, sea turtles and one of the planet’s largest humpback whale populations. Many consider Kimberley Coast cruises the most spectacular way to experience this region — a front-row seat to waterfalls, frontier history and marine life that thrives in one of Earth’s least disturbed ocean ecosystems.
