When it comes to Kimberley cruising, there is more and more choice however the True North and the new True North II really do stand out from the crowd. These Aussie-built, purpose-designed ships take ‘barefoot luxury’ to a whole new level in the Kimberley.
Yes, they’re on the higher end price-wise, but what you get in return is something truly special: deeper adventures, exclusive access, and a warm, personal experience that turns a trip into the holiday of a lifetime.
Both True North and True North II are Australian flagged and built right here at home. They’re Advanced Eco Certified too, which means they meet top local standards for safety, sustainability, and service. The company’s family-owned, employs mostly Australians, and puts your money right back into the country — with people who genuinely love and care for the places they explore.
You’re not just seeing the Kimberley—you are in it, on it, above it and living it.
Having a full-time helicopter onboard transforms your Kimberley cruise from extraordinary to truly unforgettable. While scenic flights over Mitchell Falls, King George Falls, Montgomery Reef, and the Horizontal Falls provide breathtaking aerial views of these natural wonders, the helicopter offers so much more.
Imagine indulging in a heli-picnic atop a remote escarpment, where gourmet cuisine meets panoramic vistas. Or embarking on a heli-fishing adventure, casting your line in secluded waterways teeming with fish, accessible only by air. For the more adventurous, overnight heli-camping experiences allow you to immerse yourself in the wilderness, sleeping under a canopy of stars far from the beaten path.
These exclusive experiences, made possible by the onboard helicopter, elevate your journey beyond the ordinary. They offer intimate encounters with the Kimberley’s rugged beauty, creating memories that will last a lifetime. With the freedom to explore remote locations inaccessible by traditional means, your cruise becomes a personalized adventure, tailored to your sense of exploration and wonder.
Incorporating these helicopter excursions into your itinerary not only enhances the luxury of your voyage but also deepens your connection to the land. It’s not just about seeing the Kimberley—it’s about experiencing it in ways few ever do
