The Kimberley region in North Western Australia is a panorama of rugged mountains, spectacular gorges and majestic waterfalls.

The region attracts visitors from all over the world – but not everybody is fortunate enough to truly experience this ancient land.

Purpose-built to go where other ships cannot, the stylish adventure cruise ship True North provides a level of access that is the envy of others.

Whilst others sail past – they can safely navigate the region’s many shallow river systems and provide their guests with intimate access to the region’s iconic nature features.

Their activity-based itineraries include tactile experiences such as hiking, fishing, mud crabbing, picnics, natural history interpretation, seeing the ancient rock art of the Australian Aborigines and exhilarating helicopter rides.

True North – setting the adventure-cruise benchmark for more than 30 years.

Relish in vibrant contrast – the deep blue waters of the Indian Ocean lap the red sands of the ‘north’ as the West Coast Explorer winds its way north from Fremantle to Dampier.

The Abrolhos are steeped in history: Ningaloo boasts world-acclaimed marine life and the Monte Bellos offer fishing paradise – the ‘West Coaster’ is a sojourn that tames Australia’s still-wild western shores.

A must for snorkellers and divers, a must for fishers, a must for the adventurer at heart!

The Rowley Shoals feature exaggerated corals, mind-blowing fish life and stunning underwater clarity but perhaps more important than anything else – even today they are visited by only a fortunate few.

Guided by a marine biologist and a team of underwater naturalists, divers and snorkellers alike will revel in a diverse wonderland of coral habitats including maze-like lagoons, surging tidal canyons and breathtaking walls. Keen anglers will match wits with big blue-water pelagics such as black marlin, sailfish, wahoo and yellow-fin tuna.

Wander the enticing shores of Bedwell Island, see the rookeries of the red-tailed tropicbird and indulge in a True North favourite – sunset drinks on the beach – 300 kilometres from the shore.

The Rowley Shoals are Western Australia’s premiere coral playground.

Join True North in Esperance and discover the endless beaches that skirt Cape Le Grand.

Encounter the wonders of the Bremer Bay Canyon, indulge in delicacies from the sea – perhaps washed down with a bottle or two from the revered cellars of Margaret River and before disembarking in Fremantle, revel in the party atmosphere of Western Australia’s favourite island playground – Rottnest Island.
