What do I need to pack for a Kimberley cruise

Due to the warm, tropical climate of this region, guests should pack lightweight clothing which can be layered. Wet-landings are common and pants which can be rolled up, shorts or a cotton skirt/dress are ideal. A lightweight long-sleeved shirt will help provide protection from the sun or any mosquitoes. Comfortable walking shoes and wet landing shoes such as reef walkers, Tevas or old sneakers are recommended. The below packing checklist will make packing for your expedition very simple.

PACK IN CARRY-ON:

Prescription medication

Extra pair of eyeglasses or contact lenses

ONBOARD:

Sandals or casual shoes for onboard use Comfortable casual or smart-casual clothing Light long-sleeved shirts to layer
Preferred personal hygiene products (additional to those amenities supplied onboard) and any prescription medications for the length of voyage

LIST OF SUGGESTED ITEMS:

Neck Buff to soak in cool water before hikes
Sunscreen, lip balm & insect repellent and sunburn relief products (eco-safe products recommended)
Journal & pen or pencil
Protective face mask as precautionary measure
Hiking sticks for navigating uneven surfaces
Hand sanitizer for use in remote populated areas (also available onboard)

What travellers say

“Their product knowledge is amazing”

I am very impressed with this company. All the staff I have dealt with have been extremely helpful and courteous, even when I have had to change my travel plans. They went out of their way to assist me with the changes. Their product knowledge is amazing and their help in arranging accommodation and tours has been fabulous. Their offer of two free nights accommodation and a free Broome sightseeing tour is an added bonus. I am very happy that I have booked with them and would thoroughly recommend them.

“The cruise suited us perfectly”

We were very pleased with the help we received from Jenny and Simon when we were deciding on which cruise to choose for our Kimberley holiday. The cruise we settled for, Coral Expeditions, suited us perfectly. We were also very pleased with the two free nights accommodation and hop on hop off bus pass in Darwin. Highly recommended.

The highlights for us were the fabulous food and the unique nature experiences. These were enhanced by on board naturalist with an endless love and knowledge of the region.
