Alan Duke, Antarctic Peninsula - Basecamp Ortelius
"We had the most amazing adventure travelling to Antarctica with MV Plancius. A great, small expedition ship, with a brilliant sailing crew and wonderful expedition staff. The trip was meant for active travellers who like adventure and it did not disappoint. The ship is a floating hotel as well and we found the accommodation to be really good, the food excellent and the service was outstanding. I can't recommend an expedition holiday and this ship highly enough."
Declan Baharini, Falkland Islands, South Georgia & Antarctic Peninsula
"The grandeur of Antarctica is beyond any words or pictures. In the undisturbed tranquility, isolated to the notion of timelessness, I was in awe of its magnificence and our insignificance, and my mind become like ice: clear, crystalline and uncluttered. From the over 40 countries I visited nothing compares to this!"

Dan, USA, SE Alaska - Petersburg to Juneau
"I just got back from the "Chukotka: where Russia's Day Begins" expedition that included two days at Wrangel Island. For half of the expedition I was pinching myself to make sure that this is actually real. On this special expedition we met the people, saw and listened to their stories and learned of their love for and strong connection with the land and the sea. Wildlife lovers just couldn't put their cameras down: polar bears, whales, snowy owls, puffins, seals, walruses...there was always some kind of magnificent creature around."
Maria Stambler, Chukotka: Where's Russia's Day Begins
"We have just returned after 7 days on the Kimberley Pearl. An absolutely amazing experience. We fished, swam, hiked, rock climbed, explored, sat under the stars and ate beautiful food. The crew were a well oiled machine and couldn't do enough for us. Nothing was too much trouble. It's hard to find the words to explain just how wonderful this experience was. Thank you all!"
Chris, Kimberley's Southern Pearls
"The True North Kimberley Cruise was everything we expected and more. The scenery, the crew, the helicopter flights were spectacular! Did Bill tell you that I caught an 80 cm barramundi? How Al, the pilot, landed that helicopter on the top of waterfalls was amazing! It was a a spectacular 10 days."
Bill & Judy, Canada
"We are just in Darwin airport on our way home, but wanted to send you a quick note to let you know that we all had a wonderful, wonderful cruise and that Kimberley Pearl was just perfect in every way!!

Gwyn, Kimberley Pearl Ultimate
"We had a fabulous time on our Diversity cruise and we cannot recommend them highly enough. Adventures each day, amazing food, and excellent crew who worked tirelessly and consistently exceeded our expectations with their professionalism and kindness. Thanks again for all your help. It was truly the perfect Kimberley Coast cruise. Our experiences and memories will last a lifetime."
Lynne & Garry, Kimberley Discovery - Diversity
"Well we had a fabulous trip on the Diversity and our expectations were exceeded!!! Our cabins were very comfortable, the meals were excellent, the crew went out of their way to look after us and give us many exciting experiences. We were blown away with the fishing every day - we all caught fish - and ate it within hours of catching. We saw some amazing sights such as the whales passing nearby and the extraordinary Montgomery Reef as the tide fell and the reef rose up. We have already recommended this trip to other people as one one of the best trips we have ever done. Thank you for your recommendation and assistance all the way."
Liz & Michael, Kimberley Discovery - Diversity
"Can’t thank you enough for hooking us up on the trip. It is very hard in the tourism/hospitality business to be very professional but show it in such a relaxed and casual manner. These guys nailed it.The staff were exceptional from the top down. As a cruise director, Nick demonstrated his skill in ensuring that no one was made to feel left out considering ages ranging up to 93. Very, very good at his trade and his knowledge of the area where he would change the itinerary to show us waterfalls etc that in a normal year would not be flowing. I think that this trip should be known as the eighth wonder of the world. Once again thanks for all your help."
Gavin, Reef Prince Kimberley
"I know we have been back for a while but I want to thank you for organizing this cruise for us. I can not tell you how much we loved our time on Coral Adventurer, the crew, the food, the things we saw, just amazing."
Alison & Robert, Coral Adventurer's Kimberley
"The Coral Adventurer cruise was just exceptional, just the right blend of comfort, luxury and adventure. The fact that the weather and sea swell (basically none) was just superb certainly helped as well. The young crew on board were always attentive and going out of their way to make everything perfect to match the amazing Kimberley scenery."
Steve, Coral Adventurer's Sacred Kimberley
"Wow, what a sensational adventure, way surpassed my expectations and they were high to start with. The staff were amazing, Paul the cruise director was a wealth of knowledge and passionately shared all his knowledge and expertise. All the other staff so friendly, helpful, understanding and knew what you wanted before you even asked. The itinerary and day excursions were interesting, exciting, fun, adventurous and planned to perfection, truly they were incredible. The food, OMG the food, well GiGi the French chef was extraordinary, every dinner was like eating in a top fine dining restaurant, the lunches so fresh and delicious. Truly every meal was scrumptious. The boat was always clean and well maintained, my cabin was great, and the boat has many areas to go and chill out without being around all the other passengers. The lounge area has great views from sitting down so it was perfect. I have to say thank you for helping us choose the bestest cruise in the Kimberley."
Lisa, Reef Prince's Kimberley
"Just a quick note to thank you for your professionalism in getting us on the cruise of a lifetime. There are no words to describe how happy David & I are. We had the best time . Reef Prince was just magical. From the captain, staff there was nothing we could fault. The food was to die for. We were so looked after from day 1. Paul tour guide was just fantastic. What an asset to that boat. Thank you again. Will be certainly be recommending this to everybody."
Shirley, Reef Prince Kimberley Broome to Darwin
