Precious pearls and natural treasures; exploring Broome and cruising the remote Kimberley Coast
Ease into your Kimberley adventure with a three-night stay at the Billi resort, a boutique and unique hideaway near Broome’s Cable Beach. During your stay here, we have included a private behind-the-scenes tour of the scenic Willie Creek Pearl Farm.
Setting off from the pearling port of Broome, your seven-night small-group expedition cruise travels the Kimberley coast in style through to Wyndham. Cruising in comfort, your vessel is purpose-designed for discerning adventurers and custom-built to provide privileged access to otherwise almost inaccessible corners of the planet.
Your itinerary showcases all the must-see sights and highlights of this spectacularly scenic stretch of coast. Enjoy an exhilarating tender trip through the Horizontal Falls and ride the tides to explore Sale River. Cruise the Montgomery Reef, keeping an eye out to spot turtles, dugong and crocs as the corals rise majestically from the sea. Travel up the Prince Regent River to marvel at King Cascade falls, whilst the neighbouring Hunter River’s banks are lined with red cliffs, sprawling mangroves and lush rainforests. See some of the oldest human artworks, ‘the Bradshaws’ that ’hang’ on the dramatic rock walls of these most remote reaches. There are also numerous opportunities along the way to explore the region further with stunning guided hikes and scenic heli-flights (at additional cost).

Enjoy World Heritage Wilderness, guided walks, spectacular wildlife and wonderful Tassie wines as you cruise some of the most pristine corners of the planet aboard a luxury motor catamaran custom-built for expedition-style cruising.
Whilst each itinerary is different, shaped by the winds, the weather and individuals’ interests, Odalisque III provides access to Tasmania’s otherwise largely inaccessible South West Wilderness.
The adventure begins with a scenic wilderness flight from Hobart that sets the scene for the days ahead. Surrounded by the South West National Park, most signs of civilisation have been left far behind – but not so aboard Odalisque III where all the creature comforts are catered for: private en-suite cabins with panorama windows, comfortable lounge areas, gourmet dining experiences and highly personalised levels of service.
Wake up to a new view each morning. The days ahead are spent gazing up at the spectacular Breaksea Island sea caves or out from stunning mountain-top lookouts, wandering along the untracked sands of Stephens Bay Beach or hiking through ancient rainforests, cruising the Huon-pine lined bends of the Davey River or picnicking in pristine wilderness. Spot dolphins playing in the bow waves and chance a glimpse of the endangered orange-bellied parrot.
Your expert guides generously share their vast knowledge about the local wildlife, flora, history and more on daily walks and shore excursions, whilst back on-board the chef prepares delicious meals showcasing local delicacies enjoyed around a shared table.

Inclusions
4 or 6 nights’ accommodation aboard Odalisque III, all meals and accompanying beverages, daily shore excursions, return scenic flights from/to Hobart and national park entrance fees.
