The long-awaited Kimberley exploration tour begins in August. Australia’s final frontier, the Kimberley is a land of vast remoteness and spectacular scenery. After reaching Broome, follow Aboriginal tracks and discover baobab-dotted plains, spectacular waterfalls, twilight mountains and breathtaking valleys, immersing yourself in a unique natural wonder.

In September, we head east, calling at Cooktown and Cairns for a dive or two on the Great Barrier Reef. Our second expedition takes us to nearly untouched Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, home to volcanic landscapes, giant lagoons, crocodile-infested mangroves and emerald forests. We then visit the vineyards, galleries and national parks of cosmopolitan Brisbane and Sydney, before spending a few hours relaxing and taking in the views from a local café.
