We've got the Kimberley blues this morning as we only have one month left in this stunning region before we set sail across new shores!

So, you've booked a Kimberley trip but aren't sure what to wear?
Thankfully a holiday is a great excuse to go shopping...

For excursions, pack lightweight, layerable clothing—shorts, skirts, or roll-up pants for wet landings, and a long-sleeved shirt for sun and mosquito protection. Comfortable walking shoes and wet landing footwear like reef walkers are essential. Don’t forget a sunhat, sunglasses, and hydration gear like a Camelbak. A small waterproof day pack will keep your essentials safe during excursions.

Onboard, you can expect a relaxed, smart-casual environment—no suit or tie necessary.

For those of you who have travelled to the Kimberley recently is there anything you wish you had packed more or less of? Let us know in the comments below ⬇️

Guests on Coral Adventurer were captivated as Guest Lecturer Goyma and Expedition Team Member Luke brought Aboriginal stories to life through four mesmerizing dances at beach drinks:

Mokuy - Spiritual dancing through the bush
The Crocodile Dance - From Goyma's father's clan group, the Gumatj
A dance about the Makassans - Celebrating the early visitors from Indonesia to Australia before European exploration
The Octopus Dance - Honoring Goyma's grandmother's totem

These performances offered a unique and unforgettable glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the region.

KIMBERLEY TIP: When sailing through Porosus Creek, keep your binoculars and camera at the ready!

Would you rather be 45 minutes late to dinner...
A.) Because you were stuck in traffic 🚖

OR

B.) Because you got to witness the most spectacular whale show 🐋
We choose B!

While Coral Discoverer was at anchor, guests in the Kimberley were treated to whales playing at the bow for 45 minutes interrupting pre dinner drinks and dinner service.

We have partnered with the Australian Geographic Society to present a series of roadshows across Australia in 2024 and 2025. The roadshows will visit major cities, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth, starting in February 2024 and continuing through the year.

The next one is on the Gold Coast, at the Homestead at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary on Thursday 01 August. Guest speakers- Dr Geoff Wilson & Tom Robinson.

We sponsor these roadshows to align with Australian Geographic Society's commitment to environmental stewardship and conservation. The partnership aims to promote awareness about critical environmental issues and foster a deeper connection between Australians and their natural environment. This initiative reflects our broader mission to enhance sustainable travel experiences.
