5 REASONS AUSTRALIA’S KIMBERLEY REGION IS A CAN’T-MISS TRAVEL DESTINATION

by Kaeli Conforti

A luxury cruise to the Kimberley in Western Australia takes you to a primordial land that remains pristine and relatively untouched. Stretching roughly 163,000 square miles (423,000 square kilometers), from the Indian Ocean in the west all the way to the edge of the Northern Territory in the east, with southern boundaries marked by the Tanami and Great Sandy Deserts, it’s a place where travelers can indeed get back to nature. You’ll be the sole car on the dusty road for hours at a time and one of only a handful of people hiking the path to the varied attractions in the Kimberley: a refreshing waterhole, scenic gorge or majestic waterfall. It’s a place where you can really get away from it all and take time to appreciate the natural wonders of the Australian wilderness. Whether you’re exploring this vast region overland, along the Gibb River Road, or taking the less-traveled yet more adventurous route along the coastline by sea, the best way to see the Kimberley’s myriad wonders is by immersing yourself in this stunning and remote part of Australia. It’s sure to be an experience you’ll never forget.
