10-Night Australia's Iconic Kimberley from Mundy Adventures

More of a large town than a city, Darwin is less about what's contained within the city limits and more about the huge expanse of wild landscape that's outside it. Closer to Jakarta than Sydney, the city really does feel remote in its tropical perch. There are a number of waterfront restaurants and pretty parks, making it a pleasant place to relax after a long flight. For those with the energy we highly recommend a visit to Litchfield and Kakadu National Parks.

At Sea

Vansittart Bay lies close to the northern tip of Western Australia, and is home to some interesting examples of aboriginal rock art. You can also take a trip across a lagoon to visit the intact wreckage of a C-53 aircraft that crash landed here during the Second World War.

The Ashmore Reef is a Marine National Nature Reserve, home to diverse marine life, including coral reefs, sea turtles, and seabirds.

The islands are uninhabited but are occasionally visited by scientists, the Australian Border Force, and Indonesian fishermen with traditional fishing rights.

Named by Lieutenant Philip Parker King, who stopped here in 1820 to repair his ship, the HMS Mermaid.The crew carved "HMC MERMAID 1820" into a boab tree, and it remains visible today.

Swift Bay is known for its remote and rugged coastline, Indigenous rock art, and pristine waters. It's a popular spot for cruise expeditions and fishing due to its untouched beauty and rich marine life.

The Hunter River region is home to a spectacular system of mangroves surrounded by red sandstone cliffs, providing a habitat for mudskippers, fiddler crabs, saltwater crocodiles and numerous species of bird. Head further inland and you’ll reach the stunning Mitchell Falls, where the waters cascade from one shimmering emerald pool to the next.

The bay is teeming with marine life, including dugongs, dolphins, and saltwater crocodiles.

Horizontal Falls, one of the world's most famous tidal phenomena, where powerful tides create a waterfall effect between narrow coastal gorges.

The Lacepede Islands, situated just off Australia’s Kimberley coast, are a fantastic destination for birding enthusiasts, supporting over 1% of the world’s population of brown boobies and roseate terns. Other bird species here include masked boobies, Australian pelicans and lesser frigatebirds, and it’s also a key breeding site for green turtles.

For travellers by ship, Broome is the gateway to the extraordinary Kimberley region, but that’s not all. It is also the pearling capital of Australia and boasts fantastic white sand beaches and memorable sunsets.

About the Le Jacques Cartier

Ponant Le Jacques Cartier - Exterior, © Studio PONANT, credit. Ophélie BLEUNVEN

In keeping with the philosophy of PONANT and the PONANT EXPLORERS, Le Jacques-Cartier combines the desire for adventure with five-star travel. A modern ship with slender, tapered lines, it is environmentally friendly and equipped with innovative technology.Tastefully decorated, Le Jacques-Cartier reflects the universe so dear to PONANT, with its light tones and open-to-the-sea design providing soft light and luminosity at every instant of the day. Its ethnic chic ambiance pays homage to the destinations we visit. Located below the waterline, the Blue Eye, the first ever multisensorial lounge, offers a unique experience: the opportunity to enjoy undersea views and the sounds of the marine world whilst sharing a glass together. 

An essential component of French culture, gastronomy naturally has a place of honour onboard this PONANT EXPLORER.
