Kimberley Quest wins big at Tourism Awards

​​A big congratulations to our friends at Kimberley Quest on their achievements at the Perth Airport 2018 Western Australia Tourism Awards announced at a gala dinner in Perth on Saturday night. 

​​Kimberley Quest was nominated in four categories at the awards and they managed to take out the top gong in the Best Tour & Transport Operator category (Gold medal), whilst also receiving recognition in the Unique Accommodation (Silver medal) and Adventure Tourism (Bronze medal) categories.
 
The awards capped off a big year for Kimberley Quest, after another very busy Kimberley cruising season where they continued to innovate with the launch of an exciting four day ‘Taste of the Kimberley’ cruise, ideally suited for those looking for a long weekend getaway or to sample the Kimberley cruising experience.
 
2019 is also shaping us as a very busy year for the team at Kimberley Quest, as they mark their 25th year of introducing guests to the wonders of the Kimberley Coast and also celebrate the 15th year of Eco Accreditation for Bushwalking, Fishing, Flora and Fauna Viewing and History and Culture.

21 Day Beyond Adventure – Darwin to Broome – departs 05 March 2019 – VERY limited space available.
This is perhaps the most comprehensive Kimberley cruise ever devised and departing Darwin immediately after the wet season you will truly be in for a treat as the waterfalls will be at their magnificent best **LAST CABINS SELLING NOW**
 
14 Day Ultimate Quest – Broome to Wyndham and vice versa – departs March to May
The ever-popular Ultimate Quest showcases the very best of the Kimberley coast, and departing early in the season ensures that the waterfalls will still be at their best.
 
10 Day Adventure Quest – Broome to Broome – August & September 
Adventure Quest is an extensive exploration of the southern Kimberley, visiting many unknown sights, rarely visited islands, inlets and 'secret spots'. Operating as a 'round-trip' cruise from Broome, this is a great choice for those travellers who want to experience the Southern Kimberley without having to take a light aircraft flight in one direction.
 
8 Day Southern Quest – Broome to Broome – June to August 
The ever-popular Southern Quest takes you deep into the heart of the Southern Kimberley to icons including Horizontal Falls and Montgomery Reef. You’ll cruise one way between Broome and the Mitchell Plateau, take an included helicopter flight over Mitchell Falls before returning to Broome by light aircraft.
 
8 Day Northern Quest - Wyndham to Broome and vice versa – departs May
Renowned for its massive gorges and river systems and extensive waterfalls, the Northern Kimberley offers an action-packed adventure. Cruising whilst the waterfalls of the far north are at their best, there’s also ample time to go in search of a barra’ or two!
 
4 Day Taste of the Kimberley – Broome to Broome – Departs September & October
This 'Taste of the Kimberley' showcases a fully operational Australian South Sea Pearl farm at Cygnet Bay. Cruise through the thousand islands of the Buccaneer Archipelago and visit icons including the incredible Horizontal Waterfalls and Montgomery Reef, Australia's largest inshore reef.
