Embark in Wyndham, the northernmost town in Western Australia and the gateway to the Kimberley. It's surrounded by amazing landforms, rivers, and wetlands. About 100 kilometers south is Kununurra, a town founded in 1961 to support the Ord River Irrigation Scheme. The name Kununurra comes from the Miriwoong word "Goonoonoorrang," meaning big water.

The North Kimberley coast is known for its impressive gorges and waterfalls that have shaped the sandstone over millions of years, creating stunning views where ancient sandstone colors blend with the blue Timor Sea. The changing red and orange hues in the sandstone offer ever-shifting scenery. The region holds remarkable survival stories and epic treks through rugged landscapes. Despite its harsh conditions, the Wunambal Gaambera and Balanggarra peoples have lived here for thousands of years, leaving behind some of the world's largest outdoor rock art galleries. Key spots include King George Falls, Vansittart Bay, and Jar Island. With Paspaley Pearl, you can explore unique places inaccessible to larger vessels, like Cape Voltaire, Freshwater Bay, Drysdale River, Glycosmis Bay and Falls, Cape Bernier, Seaplane Bay, Berkeley River, and Casuarina Falls.

The Bonaparte Archipelago is a maze of islands and islets stretching 150 kilometers offshore from Collier Bay to the Admiralty Gulf, known for its rich collection of Rock Art galleries. These remarkable artworks, created by First Nations peoples, offer insight into the oldest continuing culture on earth. The mainland features some of the most scenic parts of the Kimberley coast, with Prince Frederick Harbour and the Roe-Hunter River System lined with ancient rainforest pockets, pristine mangroves, and sandstone cliffs. Nearby, Prince Regent National Park is one of Australia’s key conservation sites, known for its stunning scenery and home to half of the known bird and animal species in the Kimberley. Located 370 km north of Broome and 460 km west of Kununurra, Kuri Bay sits at the heart of the Lalang-Garram/Camden Sound Marine Park. It was the site of Australia’s first cultured pearl farm and is named after the company’s first principal, Tokuichi Kuribayashi. Today, the clear, pristine waters are home to Paspaley, the world’s leading producer of cultured pearls. The superior quality of these gems is so widely recognized that they are simply known as ‘Paspaley Pearls.’ You can experience a behind-the-scenes guided walking tour of the Paspaley facilities and see the intricate processes involved in producing the world’s most beautiful pearls.

Located in one of the most remote parts of Australia, with no road access and the nearest town over 250 kilometers away, Collier Bay and Camden Sound are known for their rugged beauty and the second-largest tides in the world. These massive tides have shaped the ancient landscape, creating unique phenomena like the Horizontal Falls (Garaanngaddim). The area holds cultural significance for the Dambeemangarddee, a saltwater people who have lived along this coast for thousands of years, with their culture deeply tied to these tidal movements. The rich marine environment includes Montgomery Reef (Yowjab), the world’s largest inshore reef system, and attracts the largest population of migrating humpback whales each year.

The region is known for iconic spots like Horizontal Falls (Garaanngaddim), Montgomery Reef (Yowjab), Raft Point (Ngumbree), and Freshwater Cove (Wijingarra Bard Bard).

With Paspaley Pearl, you can also access places that larger boats can’t, including Sampson Inlet, Hall Point, Red Cone Creek, Sapphire Falls, Ruby Falls, Sale River, Walcott Inlet, Prior Point, and Langgi.

Extending from the Dampier Peninsula to the Southern edge of Collier Bay, the 800 islands of the Dampier archipelago and adjacent mainland offer a veritable playground of unique experiences, ideal for exploration by boutique expedition motor yacht. Named after the English buccaneer and privateer William Dampier, the archipelago is regarded as one of the most spectacular island groups in Australia. There are islands listed as Important Bird Areas by Birdlife International, while others are home to Western Australia’s largest population of breeding Green Sea turtles. The pristine coastline contains secluded white sandy beaches, mangrove estuaries, and spectacular tortured landscapes, providing a geological insight into the formation of this remarkable land.
