Spend two days exploring the beautiful Houtman Abrolhos, a chain of 122 islands that is home to the southernmost true coral reef in the Indian Ocean. Wake early and join a heli-flight to view stunning reef formations and island communities from the sky. Snorkel in shallow inshore lagoons to see breathtaking colourful coral, a myriad of fish species, and curious sea lions. Alternatively, take a scenic cruise in one of our adventure boats and step ashore to discover a bird-watching paradise.

In addition to being the home of Western Australia’s delectable rock lobster, the Abrolhos is also renowned for its fishing. You’ll have the chance to fish for Westralian dhufish, groper, snapper, and coral trout, which our chefs will cook on board the True North.

We will also visit Post Office Island, where the Liddon family will set up a long-table lunch for us featuring fresh crayfish and other local produce. Afterwards, we’ll learn about the local crayfishing and pearling industries before having the opportunity to browse the island’s jewellery shop.

Wake up for another day in the Houtman Abrolhos, where you’ll snorkel and dive in the crystal-clear waters of the Batavia wreck site and learn about its fascinating history. Then we’ll go ashore at Beacon Island to see a remarkably well-preserved cannon lying in shallow water. Finally, we will visit Long Island, where mutineers were hanged.

Join the adventure boats for a day of fishing, snorkeling, and diving. We’ll take you to spots known for coral trout and dhufish if you enjoy fishing. Otherwise, Fish Point and the Turtle Bay shallows are perfect for a snorkel, and divers can explore “Planet Channel” and other areas that feature excellent overhangs and caves. Then step ashore at West Wallaby Island for a glimpse of the reclusive tamar wallaby and join our guides for a scenic walk among the ruins of Wiebbe Hayes’ rudimentary forts.

Start the day with an exhilarating hike to Steep Point, the westernmost edge of the Australian continent and part of the Shark Bay World Heritage area. It is regarded as one of the finest land-based game fishing locations in the world and is surrounded by some of the most breathtaking scenery in Western Australia. Take a helicopter flight over the Zuytdorps to enjoy stunning views of this spectacular coast, or visit Dirk Hartog, a location not accessible by foot. Fishers can wet their lines at South Passage, and divers may have the chance to see the giant gropers that frequent “Monkey Rock”.

This morning, the True North will cruise to Cape Inscription on the northern tip of Dirk Hartog Island. Here, you’ll be able to head off on the tenders for fishing, snorkelling, or diving on the western side of the Cape, or explore Hartog from the air in the helicopter. Afterwards, we’ll head to the sheltered waters off Turtle Bay for another dive or an island swim.

Famous for its brilliant white beaches and stunning coral reefs just metres from the shoreline, it’s not hard to see why Ningaloo Reef is one of Western Australia’s most popular tourist destinations. Here, simply put on a mask and swim in swimming-pool-like conditions to encounter whale sharks and possibly dolphins, dugongs, manta rays, humpback whales, along with hundreds of species of fish, coral, and molluscs. The adjacent beaches are also home to loggerhead, green, and hawksbill turtles. In 2006, researchers discovered gardens of sponges thought to be species completely new to science. Today will be spent exploring the many bays and shallow inner reef areas of this acclaimed coral paradise. We’ll also fit in some light game fishing for mackerel and visit the settlement at Coral Bay, joined by local marine biologist Frazer McGregor.

Wake this morning for three magnificent days in the Montebello Islands. An archipelago of 174 small islands lying 130 kilometres off the Pilbara coast of north-western Australia, the islands have a rich and interesting history. The two main islands, Hermite and Trimouille, were discovered by the French explorer Nicolas Baudin in 1801 before gaining an infamous history with nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s. Today, however, the Montebello Islands are a paradise, and we’ll spend the day enjoying endless opportunities for fishing, snorkelling, and diving.

Start the day with an early morning fish or join the ship’s naturalist and head ashore to beachcomb and bird-watch. Identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area (IBA), the islands support over 1% of the world populations of fairy terns, roseate terns, and sooty oystercatchers. You could also spot greater crested terns, ospreys, white-bellied sea-eagles, pied oystercatchers, Caspian terns, bridled terns, and beach stone-curlews. You’ll also have the opportunity to take to the skies in the helicopter, or snorkel and dive for giant crayfish. After lunch, stalk the mangroves for Montes mud crab and whiting. Finally, spend the afternoon on the beach or head out for another dive in paradise.

Spend another day in paradise fishing, snorkelling, diving, beachcombing, and heading out on a scenic tender ride. Then, depending on the helicopter’s schedule, take a flight over the Dampier Archipelago for your final breathtaking view from the sky.

With a vast and remarkable coast now explored, it’s time for your early morning disembarkation and transfer to Karratha.
