We just had the fantastic experience of a 13 night Wyndham to Broome Kimberley cruise with Eco Abrolhos. From the moment we were picked up in Kununurra it was obvious it was a professional operation. As we were transferred from Wyndham wharf you just knew they were on the ball. Our cabin, 16, was much more spacious than we imagined. The vessel and the trip were well explained and the staff were very attentive. The cruise is just difficult to describe as it is just too beautiful, the Kimberley is a wonderful part of the world that you just need to see. The excursions were well organised and edgy enough to be a talking point every night over the great food. Special mention of the hostesses Eloise and April who made sure everyone was well looked after. They were delightful young women! The excursion crew were on the ball and the commentary was spot on, Twoey, Mitch, Laura and Kale were great fun. Skipper Liam and first mate Jay were totally professional ( though Lisa did a pretty good version of Liam
). I personally enjoyed the opportunity to have a fish and there was no shortage of bites and fish was on the menu regularly, great knife work Jay!
We had great company with the mix of passengers from all parts of Australia. This is small boat cruising at its best, you get to places the big boats don’t. Put Eco Abrolhos on your to do list, we are talking about a trip next year with them to the Abrolhos islands!

I have just got back from our cruise on board the Eco Abrolhos, travelling Windham to Broome.
An amazing 2 weeks of breathtaking scenes & funfilled activities off shore everyday.
The wonderful crew always offering a wealth of knowledge & support, exploring, fishing, crabbing & swimming in rockholes, making this trip memorable in every way.
The food and the service on board were some of the best we've ever experienced.
I wish to thank Jay and your amazing team for being part of my 'trip of a lifetime,' far exceeding any of my expectations. This is what dreams are made of. Thank You

Amazing and unforgettable trip from Wyndham to Broome with the EcoAbrolhos. This trip was all I had hoped for and more. I can't thank the staff of the EcoAbrolhos enough for the incredible time that they gave us. I couldn't fault a thing about this trip. If you are looking for a relaxed vibe, then this is it. The scenery was just so incredibly beautiful and so different in each place we visited. I loved that it was a small group, we had 29 passengers on the boat. All the staff were local to WA except for one which made it quintessentially Australian. They were an extremely hardworking and cohesive group with lots of local knowledge - and heaps of fun. The tenders could fit us all in if we were going out for an excursion, which was great that we didn't have to wait around. The food was exceptionally good. Em is an amazing chef. There were plenty on the boat that wanted to fish, so we had quite a few fishing and crabbing trips included and if you didn't want to fish you could join a scenic. We were taken on walks and swims in remote places where we hardly saw any other people. There was lots of rock art sites to visit, gorgeous waterfalls, amazing rivers with incredible geological formations, including a bit of Australian history that I didn't know about. Actually it wasn't until when we were nearing Broome that we begun to see a few of the other boats. I think leaving from Wyndham rather than Darwin gave us the extra time to explore more of the inlets and bays. We even saw a baby whale breaching early one morning when we were cruising which topped off the cruise for me. One of the best trips I've ever had in a group setting. Thanks EcoAbrolos.

Guests gained weight due to sumpious culinary options at every meal. Anchoages were sheltered due to good access by the relatively shallow draft catamaran. Crew teamwork exellent, it was a pleasure to observe them at work. I would consider this cruise more of an adventure or expedition cruise, rather than a luxury leisure cruise.
The cruise had a full complement of 32 passengers. There are 8 tenders, so all excursions were done in one go, no waiting your turn to go out. Fishing excepted, 4 to a tender.
The only possible negative is that there is some noise, but adjusting to it does not take long. Mainly consists of engine noise when under way, generator noise at other times, and the sound of the anchor chain when weighing or dropping anchor. All guests adjusted to the noise, and there were no complaints.
All guests were happy. At the end of the cruise all guests and crew had a group selfie taken.
May this vessel prosper and continue to offer great experiences to guests for a long time to come.

While the boat isn’t new it is well maintained and very functional. Accommodation was comfortable and spotlessly clean. Catering allowed for all food preferences without compromise. Every meal was restaurant quality.
Beautifully designed tenders operated flawlessly so there was no queuing or waiting to get ashore. The crew helped those who required assistance with patience and good humour.
The whole tour takes in the highlights of the Kimberly and what a place to visit! Stunning scenery, beautiful gorges and waterfalls, cooperative wildlife that permitted extraordinary photographs, and all delivered with an informative and relevant historical background that added a sense of place.
Highly recommended. Thank you Eco Abrolhos for putting together such a trip if a lifetime.

Just did the Kimberley Cruise. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
If you like great food, getting on the water in tenders several times a day to see art, historic sites, waterfall after waterfall, shower under them, see birds, crocs & fish, catch fish, then this cruise is for you. With Eco you can enjoy the environment, they don't rush around
The staff are friendly and helpful.

We were blown away by the sheer beauty of the Kimberley coast .
The size of the boat ( a 34 m catamaran )was ideal to motor along the coast and into the different rivers, to get really close up and deep into the different rivers.
The tenders were the best we have come across, easy to get in and out of including on beach landings thanks to fold out stairs at the front.. they were also very stable.
We went on daily excursions in the tenders to explore waterfalls, swimming holes , mangroves , go fishing , visit sites of historical significance and look for aboriginal rock art..
The crew were professional, safety conscious, friendly, adaptable and easy going.
The food was outstanding and varied.
The cabin ( cabin 16 ) was extremely comfortable.
Quite simply a trip we will never forget.

The Kimberly cruise was spectacular and worth every cent. I could go into reams of detail but that may spoil it. If you have the fare, like a little adventure, have ok mobility and will get wet up to your knees this is so much fun and so beautiful.

The Kimberley with Eco Abrolhos - just do it! It was the trip of a lifetime and if I could sum it up in one word it would be WOW. I really could not fault it in any way and we all had the most wonderful time with a truly fantastic crew as well as a great lot of like-minded fellow passengers. It is the perfect size boat and just the right number of fellow travellers. I know if you are checking out this review you are also probably thinking that it isn’t the cheapest trip to do but once you have done it you will totally change your thinking and will realise that it is actually incredible value for money.
