View profile“Just completed an incredible 8-day Kimberley Quest cruise—one of my bucket list dreams—and it exceeded every expectation. Every day was a new adventure, from early morning excursions to late afternoon explorations, with each evening finishing with an amazing dinner. The crew were exceptional. They were always there to help, offer advice, demonstrate techniques, and share their local knowledge, which made every experience even more special. The intimacy of travelling with a small group on the Kimberley Quest made the whole journey feel personal and unforgettable. Overall, I can’t recommend this cruise highly enough. If the Kimberley is on your bucket list, don’t hesitate—you won’t be disappointed.”
Hi Tony, Thank you so much for your five-star review and recommendation. We're so pleased to hear that our 8 Day Southern Quest exceeded your expectations, especially as a Kimberley cruise had been on your bucket list. Thank you for your kind words about our crew. They take great pride in providing exceptional service and sharing their knowledge of this remarkable region with our guests. We're also glad to hear you enjoyed the adventures, and the meals prepared by our onboard chef. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope to welcome you back again one day. With best wishes, the Kimberley Quest team
“We have just completed our 8 day cruise of the Southern Kimberly. This is our 3rd trip to the Kimberly region. It is without doubt our favourite part of Australia to visit with so much to see and do. Seeing it from the water is something really special. We are very happy to have chosen Kimberly Quest. The vessel itself is comfortable and well equipped and for us the perfect size with just 16 guests. Having an onboard helicopter was amazing. To spend the morning in a tender experiencing the magnificent Horizontal falls then flying over it a few hours later is something we will remember forever. On a trip like this the crew are so important and they were the best. Nothing was too much trouble. From the Lukes amazing food, our Captain Josh, deckies Charlie and Jackson, Tims vast experience and knowledge, hostesses Summer and Kyra and heli pilot Luke, we felt looked after and most importantly safe. The admin staff made the booking process easy. We loved our experience with Kimberly Quest and recommend them in every way.”
Hi Glenn, Thank you for taking the time to write this review. It was also lovely to catch up on the phone to discuss your experience! We're so pleased that you chose to travel with Kimberley Quest for your third visit to this spectacular region, and we're happy to hear that you found our custom-built vessel comfortable and well-equipped. Many of our guests find the onboard helicopter to be a highlight and another unique way to view the Kimberley – seeing Kimberley icons like Horizonal Falls from above is certainly something that stays with you forever! Thank you for your kind words about our wonderful staff and crew, who work hard to exceed our guests' expectations. We love what we do and we're glad it shows. We hope to welcome you onboard again in the future. With best wishes, the Kimberley Quest team

Hi Andy, Thank you so much for your five-star review; we're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your cruise with us, from the food and activities to our wonderful crew! Best wishes, the Kimberley Quest team
“Having completed a “14 day Ultimate Quest” last week, I can honestly say that any other holiday will be hard to beat what you experience when aboard KQ2. We had the pleasure of holidaying with some family members, of which, one had completed this trip before. Spending quality time with family & experiencing the amazing Kimberly was an absolute joy. From the moment we booked our trip & boarded KQ2, we were made to feel at home. The staff are incredible, with all questions answered in a timely manner prior to the trip & the crew were fantastic. The relaxed atmosphere & attention to detail was incredible. The crew onboard go above & beyond to make everyday an epic adventure, with daily excursions including fishing, waterfalls, swimming, local history & helicopter rides. Their knowledge & passion for the Kimberly region is a credit to Kimberly Quest. The food was incredible & even dietary requirements were no problem for the amazing & talented chef. Comfortable & spotless cabins with your washing done for you is a dream. Cannot recommend KQ highly enough & suggest this is a trip everyone should experience at least once in a lifetime. Thank you Kimberly Quest for an incredible adventure. We would love to come back with the whole family so they can experience what we have.”
Hi Casandra, Thank you so much for your lovely words and five-star review! We're very happy to hear that you had a wonderful time; it sounds like it was extra special since you were holidaying with family.

It sounds like you made the most of the excursions on offer and had a real adventure! We often find that guests enjoy their time with us in the Kimberley so much that they book another cruise and bring family and friends along to share the experience! We would love to welcome you back on board - feel free to reach out to us if we can help with your booking in any way 😊 Best wishes, the KQ team
“Our recent 14 day cruise has been an incredible experience. The Kimberley Quest II is a truly beautiful boat, run by an experienced crew whose enthusiasm for the Kimberley quickly rubs off on everyone. “Beyond adventure” is a perfect promise as that’s exactly what’s it’s like; everyday there’s more uplifting and exciting activities on offer or areas to experience. The Kimberley coast with its remoteness and sheer beauty is a place you feel rather than just see. I felt humbled by countless quiet moments of “WOW, just WOW”. Being up close to such stunning nature, marine life, and ancient culture and history is wondrous and thrilling. There’s no place like it on earth. To share it all with a small group of like-minded guests was a lot of fun. We laughed a lot. And the food? Amazing too! The whole experience was so enjoyable. I highly recommend this incredibly professional team and operation. If you are reading this trying to decide which cruise boat to do, I understand that can be hard. Let me make it easier for you; just go with Kimberley Quest! You’ll never regret it.”
Hi Sue, Thank you very much for your kind words and five-star review. We still feel wowed and humbled by the Kimberley, even after running cruises there for over 30 years! It's such a special place, and we love sharing it with our guests. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed all elements of the trip: our vessel, the beauty and culture of the region, the range of activities, our crew's passion and enthusiasm, and the meals made by our talented chef. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back on board in the future for more of those quiet 'wow' moments. Best wishes, the KQ team
Pick a protected bay, estuary or river reach where you can rig, launch and arrive on calm water within a short, sheltered transit; choose a site with a good ramp or jetty, clear recovery options and a nearby sailing club, marina or commercial operator for local knowledge and help.

Watch for shallow entrance bars, shifting sandbanks and channels, tidal streams that accelerate through narrow channels or around headlands, drying mudflats and sills that expose at low water, and localised eddies or overfalls — and always confirm conditions for the specific estuary before you enter.

Legal safety equipment for recreational boats in South Australia depends on the type, size and where you operate; you must check the current SA government requirements for your vessel. Independently of legal minimums, carry a sensible set of recommended items (lifejackets, means of communication, signaling, fire protection, anchor and basic tools) and make them usable and maintained.
