Joining the Oceanic Discoverer, Coral Princess and the Kimberley Quest II, APT offers a range of stylish ships that suit the tastes of any discerning traveller. Pristine Islands, Majestic Rivers & King Cascades Discover the Buccaneer Archipelago, known as the 'Thousand Islands', as well as the amazing 11-metre tides that create the Horizontal Waterfalls. Cruise the Prince Regent River to the awe-inspiring King Cascades with its tiered waterfalls; view an impressive range of wildlife including turtles on the Lacepede Islands and see Montgomery Reef rise out of the sea as the tide goes out and then disappear a few hours later as the tide comes back in. Also discover rarely seen and culturally fascinating Aboriginal rock art in remote and untouched destinations. Discover the Mitchell Plateau Lying at the northwest tip of the Kimberley, the Mitchell Plateau features beautiful and varied landscapes of lush rainforest and open woodland, as well as important Gwion (Bradshaw) art. One of the region's most magnificent sights is the four-tiered Mitchell Falls, and its secluded location means that it is only accessible by foot or by helicopter. The journey is well worth the effort as you're met by stunning surrounds and towering cascades.
