Best time to visit The Kimberley according to our founder & cruise specialist Jeff Leckey

April - June

We love this time of year as it is the beginning of the dry season but the waterfalls are still usually at their best. The humidity is relatively low so it is also the perfect temperature as you spend a lot of time outdoors in the open zodiacs

July - August

This is the peak season, you can expect warm days and higher humidity. It is also the start of the whale migration so you may be lucky enough to spot them on your cruise

September - October

Days are still warm and as you are coming to the end of the season there are fewer visitors and still excellent conditions for exploration and marine encounters
