Begin your journey in Adelaide with an overnight stay before joining the famous Ghan for a three night/four day journey north to Darwin. Watch the landscape change from verdant greens to arid plans, where the colours of the outback saturate the landscape. Stop in a famed South Australian wine region, Flinders Ranges, Marla, Alice Springs and Katherine to learn about the history, culture, natural beauty and significance of each remote outpost as you travel on this legendary train.  Off Train Experiences are included each day, then relax back on board as you trek northbound.

On arrival in Darwin, you'll spend 3 nights here and we've included two fabulous day tours to showcase the incredible Top End - the Litchfield National Park & Waterfalls and Kakadu National Park Explorer.  Enjoy the magnificent views of tumbling waterfalls, beautiful swimming holes, endemic wildlife and lush rainforests.

Then, join PONANT for a luxurious, all-inclusive expedition from Darwin to Broome. 

Discover King George River, Twin Falls, Hunter River, Collier Bay, Montgomery Reef and the Buccaneer Archipelago whilst cruising in luxurious comfort.

One of the last unspoiled regions in the world, The Kimberley awaits your discovery. This spectacular region stretches from Darwin, along the north-western coast line to Broome and is approximately two-thirds the size of France. Remote and wild, some areas are only accessible by boat, allowing the region to remain uncommercialised and untouched.

Remnants of early civilisations dating back thousands of years can still be seen in the form of rock art in remote caves and the history of these early, isolated inhabitants is fascinating. The landscape is seriously spectacular with red, sunburnt cliffs plunging into abrupt ravines and rivers snaking through the scorched land to tumble over cliffs in dramatic waterfalls. Here you will find several of Mother Nature's works of art with the Horizontal Falls and Montgomery Reef, which seems to rise magically out of the ocean on an outgoing tide, exposing the reef in all her glory and any unfortunate marine life that didn't manage to make it off the rocks in time. With it's unexpected reefs and unpredictable tides, it's easy to see why so many early ships came to grief here. Shipwrecks and stories of early explorers abound!

Saltwater crocodiles, endemic birdlife and native flora and fauna can all be sighted on your travels and with the naturally stunning landscape for a backdrop, you won't be able to help reaching for your camera! For some truly amazing photo opportunities, scenic flights over the waterfalls and canyons are a great option as seeing the sheer size and majesty of The Kimberleys from the air will give you a whole new perspective.

This is the Australia that greeted the early intrepids. Unforgiving and robust, yet breath-takingly beautiful, The Kimberley will hold you spellbound. This is the Australia of yesterday... unspoilt, rugged, red and resplendent and incredibly resilient. You simply have to see it to fully appreciate it.
