Expedition Partners

Fantastic experience: Coral Expeditions’ Through the Heart of Japan cruise was a real eye-opener for us. Firstly, Expeditions Partners were right on top of their game in organising this for us. Having completed the Kimberley cruise a few years ago, we were confident that the combined services of Expedition Partners and Coral Expeditions would result in a great experience - and it didn’t disappoint. For us, the cruise highlights included the Haenyeo Women Divers of Jeju, the Ohtsuka Museum of Art and the wonderful hospitality of the Coral Geographer crew. However, there were many more highlights - another of which was the several onboard lectures covering the rich history of Japan: we both learnt about the country’s geography, culture, political climate and so much more. In retrospect, we would certainly have considered signing up for the cruise sectors either side of the Tokyo to Fukuoka leg that we completed. We followed up the cruise with an additional 10 days in Japan before returning home. Expedition Partners’ knowledge of Japan was also really useful to us in planning this time - including offering us two nights in Tokyo as part of booking the cruise with them. All in all, a truly memorable experience.

Fantastic experience: awesome place‼️‼️

Positive experience: Overall, we enjoyed our trip through the heart of Japan. Given the restrictions placed on Coral Expeditions by the Japanese authorities, they did reasonably well. Staff were friendly and obliging as usual. The trip included a variety of attractions and events. Highlights of the trip were the locals welcoming and farewelling us at each port (loved the dancing and the drums). Other activities enjoyed were Mt. Bisart Dancing Group and the Observatory and Ropeway, Hiroshimo Peace Museum, and Karatsu Castle Thank to Reed for his amazing, informed presentations, and to Tomo, Yuki and Hide for their insights into life in Japan.

Fantastic experience: We enjoyed visiting the indigenous communities at Melville Island and Thursday Island the best. The water activities at Lizard Island were also good.

Fantastic experience: We recently returned from a 10 night cruise on Kimberly Quest and can honestly say the entire experience was sensational. Having done a number of ocean cruises on larger boats overseas, this small 18 person experience was completely different. The boat, the scenery, the daily shore excursions, the helicopter, the fishing, the food and especially the friendly , knowledgable and professional crew were all beyond our expectations. If you are thinking of going on this extraordinary adventure then just do it-and grab the flybridge cabin as it's well worth the extra few dollars.

Fantastic experience: Expedition Partners (previously Flower Travel) were pro active in alerting us to this cruise and we found that they were very efficient throughout the entire process. Friendly and responsive. Highly recommend using their services.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I had a fabulous trip on Scenic Eclipse 11 seamlessly organised by the team at Expedition Partners. Nothing was too much trouble and the responses to our queries were exceptional quick. They suggested the best insurance policy for our trip, organised free pre and post trip hotels and offered to book airfares as well. The Expedition Partners App where all our documentation and itinerary is stored is very accessible and changes to schedules are updated by the team as soon as they are received. We loved being able to visit out-of-the-way places where other people rarely go like the Wessell Islands where we took a Zodiac ride through the "Hole-in-the -Wall, Pelican Island where birds abound and Willis Island 450 Km from the coast where the BOM have a weather station.The Tiwi people and the Torres Strait Islanders were very welcoming as were the Yolgnu people at Yirrkala. Our 'extreme' hike to the peak of Lizard island was an achievement! We look forward to another great adventure seamlessly organised by the friendly travel experts at Expedition Partners.

Fantastic experience: Expedition Partners (previously Flower Travel) have been our go to agents for the last 13 years and have planned our travels to perfection. I really cannot imagine travelling without them. Most recently they organised our Eastern Europe Discovery journey on Golden Eagle's Danube Express. This is a cruise by rail and I highly recommend travelling with Golden Eagle. Their prices are high - but there are so many special little details included and you feel at all times that they really want every passenger to have their best holiday ever.

Fantastic experience: A trip of a lifetime! We loved the remote nature of our expeditions, we also loved the luxury of the restaurant quality meals!

Fantastic experience: The Golden Eagle Eastern Discovery trip was introduced to us by our excellent travel agent Flower Travel. The trip ws fantastic and matched our previous Golden Eagle trip on the Trans- Siberian railway (also organised by Flower Travel). We are delighted by the wonderful support provided.

Fantastic experience: We loved our Kimberley cruise on the coral adventurer. The service we received from the travel agent was wonderful I have already recommended them to a number of people.

Fantastic experience: Hello katina...my holiday was amazing...thank you so much for organising it for me ...my stay in Broome was organised by you very nice and the Broome and Around bus was as well.. The cruise was so good the staff couldn't do enough for you. I loved all of it amazing and felt very privileged to see the Kimberley coast.. Thanks again jill.

Fantastic experience: Flower Travel booked this trip for us, everything perfect. They chose great hotels in Darwin and Adelaide and we enjoyed both cities. The trip on the Ghan was fun, would recommend platinum cabin but gold is OK although a little cramped (as expected). Need to book in advance to get platinum. Great food and camaraderie on train and off train excursions all very interesting. We particularly enjoyed the Nitmiluk Gorges in Katherine and the day exploring Coober Pedy & the Breakaways Reserve. Also special were dinner under the stars at Telegraph Station near Alice Springs and the early evening drinks in the desert around the fire pit at Manguri siding on return from day trip to Coober Pedy. Also lunch in underground restaurant at Coober Pedy. Would recommend the 3 night trip which includes Coober Pedy as this was a highlight

Fantastic experience: Besides all the highlights of our Kimbrley cruise, would have no hesitation in recommending Coral cruise line for this trip. Our before and after cruise accommodation as arranged by Flower travel was spot on. In both Broome and Darwin the apartments were perfect and both within walking distance of the town and amenities.

Fantastic experience: The people at expedition partners / flower travel we excellent , our booking , flights , accomodation were first class and made our Broome to Darwin cruise on Ponant the best holiday we have experienced so a big thanks to the team

Fantastic experience: A memorable trip, Coral Geographer what a modern and comfortable travelling base. Complemented by a carering crew who shared their knowledge and experience of this remote region of Australia.

Fantastic experience: Our travels took us from Ularu to Kakado, Arnem Land, down to the Bungle Bungles and Ord River then on to Broome before hoping on board the majestic Coral Explorer for a once in a lifetime trip, from Broome to Darwin exploring the majestic Kimberly coast. The team at Flower Travel helped us to organise this bucket list trip and as such we can only thank the team for all of the work they did to help us achieve everything that we wanted to do and see. Just brilliant..

Fantastic experience: The Staff at Flower travel were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Their advice was greatly appreciated, they were very prompt in their responses. We would definitely use their services again. Our Kimberley cruise with Ponant was amazing.

Fantastic experience: The cruise in a small ship the Heritage Adventurer across the top of the Kimberley from Broome to Darwin and a return to Adelaide on the Ghan was a wonderful excursion, ably booked through Karen Flower Travel. The organisation could not be faulted. Fast replies, the ability to tweak certain aspects of the journey was never a hassle and sorted within hours. The trip although expensive is a lifetime experience and unforgettable. The young energetic exploration team on the ship was very knowledgeable and capable with great people handling skills. They took us to some amazing sights, the most memorable for me were Montgomery Reef and the Horizontal Falls. Pictures or words cannot describe these. The crew on the ship were faultless and forever happy servicing the cabin and the delicious beautifully presented food. Thank you to all involved.

Fantastic experience: Expedition Partners put together a fantastic package for us - which was a combination of overland and an absolutely amazing Kimberley Cruise with Coral Expeditions.

Fantastic experience: Scenic Eclipse II cruise down the Kimberly Coast, WA. Well thought out itinery, extremely well-appointed high tech ship, smiling, positive crew, exceptional food, well executed zodiac trips some exploratory with so many of the expedition crew expert in their fields. The unique geography and remoteness of the Kimberley coast made for stunning scenery with the massive tides adding to the adventures of seeing the Montgomery Reef and Horizontal Falls. Trips ashore to the ancient aboriginal sites were sensitively handled, each were different and interesting. We were able to see many crocodiles, birds, turtles, sharks, whales and other marine life some very close. On board there were several activities like nature talks, concerts - never a dull moment. And every sunrise and sunset was red. All in all an exceptional bucket list cruise. All this was recommended and booked by Flower Travel now Expedition Partners. Great service, knowledgeable, seamless and nothing seemed too much trouble.

Fantastic experience: Flower Travel organised great accommodation in Kununurra and Broome for our Eco Abrolhos cruise. They also booked a morning bus tour with Broome Around which was excellent, with our driver/guide giving us history and current information for each place of interest.

Fantastic experience: The whole trip experience was fabulous. The sights and excursions were spectacular. The accommodation on the ship was of high standard and the staff were magnificent (efficient and a joy). The guest lecturers were knowledgeable and passionate as were the rest of the excursion staff.The excursions were fantastic and varied and the organisation was faultless. It is difficult to choose a favourite experience as there so many memorable ones. Certainly, Montgomery falls, the Horizontal Falls and the Placeledes Islands were a highlight but so were the aboriginal art sites and the wildlife experiences.

Fantastic experience: This cruise was spectacular. Every day was better than the last and the first day was brilliant. There was always something to do (if you wanted) the deck hands/ tour guides were very informative and the food was to die for. Captain Bronson and the crew made the trip effortless and safety was absolute. I thoroughly enjoyed this trip.

Fantastic experience: I had the BEST time, from start to finish. Everything went as Flower Travel had planned. All my questions were answered and advice on what to take etc was very helpful. I was supposed to fly over the Mitchell Falls by helicopter, being picked up on an isolated beach. Unfortunately there was a problem with the chopper after the first run and runs 2 and 3 missed out. I rang Flower Travel from the Eco Abrolhouse somewhere between Broome and Wyndham to see if they could get me on a flight out of Kununurra when I arrived there. Within half an hour they got back to me. I was very impressed and very grateful. I am not a big user of travel agents, but can definately see the benefits of using a good one. Thank you so very much Karen and your team. Sharon Wade

Fantastic experience: Always excellent service and great special extras like 2 nights accommodation thrown in.

Fantastic experience: This has been a bucket list item for a while, and was well worth the wait. The Ghan trip from Adelaide to Darwin was first class. The accomodation and meals were exceptional, as was the comraderie on board. Words cannot explain the jaw dropping scenery of the Kimberley Coast. Coupled with the beautiful Reef Prince and its professional, friendly crew, we will never forget this experience. I have lost track of the number of people ti whom i have recommended this tour.

Fantastic experience: Karen and Justine of Flower Travel were very knowledgeable and well placed to be able to help us choose the right Kimberley Cruise for us. Their first hand experience of different cruises meant they were able to answer our questions and allay any misgivings we had. Their excellent communication throughout the booking process really helped. They took our need for GF diet seriously and so did the fantastic people at CORAL CRUISES. We absolutely loved the expedition cruise on the Coral Geographer and seeing that part of Australia. The rock art galleries were a highlight for us.

Fantastic experience: a great Kimberley Cruise on Coral Geographer Very comfortable ship friendly crew good food and beverage and plenty of excursions Highlight was Mitchell Falls helicopter rie Great service from Flower Travel

Fantastic experience: A wonderful trip best explained in the article in yesterday's Age entiteled Wonder Trip..I amabbe to recommend it to anyone who is reasonably agile and does not suffer from travel sickness.

Fantastic experience: Great friendly service with good knowledge about the area.

Positive experience: World class service that started with the timely suggestion of a Kimberley cruise with Coral Expeditions. Friendly staff always available when needed.

Fantastic experience: We had an amazing holiday the 10 day cruise on Ponant La Jacques Cartier was 5 Star plus with amazing service and expeditions to some wonderful sights in the Kimberly. Then Darwin to Adelaide on the Ghan another 5 star trip with great service and beautiful food not to mention the off train experiences which were so well organised. Thank you for your excellent organisation everything was perfect.

Fantastic experience: A once in a lifetime experience. This was truly a bucket list experience. Flower travel guided us to select the trip that best suited our preferences. The onboard discovery team shared their wealth of knowledge, making this a particularly memorable trip.

Fantastic experience: We had a fantastic time on our Coral Adventure Kimberley cruise. Faultless service, incredible excursions and a memories we will treasure forever

Fantastic experience: Jenny at Flower Travel arranged the most spectacular holiday for us, cruising through the Kimberley on the Scenic Eclipse II and days at Cable Beach Club resort. From the arranged transits, to be best room off the adults only pool at Cable Beach resort, every aspect of our holiday was thought of and organised for us. King George Falls and Montgomery Reef were extraordinary, unforgettable places that we will never forget.

Fantastic experience: Wow, where do I start, Yes, the Kimberley is spectacular, The Horizontal Falls, Montgomery Reef and yes, King Cascade was my WOW. BUT..... the staff, from Syed in engineering and his crew, to the bridge, and every person on the Adventurer in between. Each crew member when met anywhere on the boat made me feel I was the only one there. The Adventurer, wow, our Promenade was really okay, the dining on Deck 4 outside was sooo lovely, the Bridge deck lounge was wonderful. The talks, the freedom to visit the bridge, the amount of space. Then the explorers and zodiacs, they were great fun. I will be banging on about Coral Expeditions for a long time. I know people balk when they see the price, again, BUT, it is Australian, an all Australian crew, so many talented Aussies and knowledgeable. I felt it worth every dollar. Thank you Danielle, at Flower Travel who was also so very, very awesome.

Fantastic experience: Flower Travel were across the whole Kimberley cruise experience, down to ensuring we had the right travel insurance and providing a comprehensive travel itinerary to keep us on track. The cruise is a great experience, with top class service and off-ship experiences.

Fantastic experience: Our Silversea Kimberley Cruise was amazing! The excursions were great, the staff extremely helpful, paticularly getting on & off the Zodiacs , the entire experience was brilliant!

Fantastic experience: The trip exceeded our expectations. We could not fault the scheduled trip, all pick up and drop offs were on time. The accommodations were everything we expected.

Fantastic experience: Flower Travel staff were great in providing advice on the different Kimberley cruises available, liaising with Eco Abrolhos to get a great deal for someone travelling alone, and providing other perks such as accommodation and bus tour. A great experience!

Positive experience: We went on holidays to the NW of Western Australia, firstly to Kunnunura, then on a Kimberley Cruise from Wyndham to Broome on the vessel True North. The holiday plans were largely completed by Expedition Partners ( through Flower Travel). The tours they booked us on at Kunnunura ( Ord R and Bungle Bungles) were fantastic . Really good tour guides and very interesting locations. If you go to the Kimberley you must go to the Bungle Bungles - a very spiritual place. The cruise on True North was outstanding. Great destinations, wonderful experiences , great fishing, walking and swimming locations, a magical vessel ( with helicopter) and phenomenal crew. A very memorable experience. If you can afford it , True North is the way to see the Kimberley. Only negative was with the planning and pre payment for the holiday through Flower Travel. There were errors with our itinerary , and costings , which I discovered , and had to get corrected (twice). But other than that it was a truly memorable vacation.

Fantastic experience: Luxurious and peaceful. Our first ever cruise so we were pleased there was no sea sickness at all. Very calm cruising. All the staff were amazing - so competent, knowledgeable and friendly. Our indigenous guest lecturer was particularly noteworthy - (need more indigenous staff). We learnt a lot, as our waistlines expanded from the wonderful food!!!!

Fantastic experience: Our cruise on the Coral Adventurer was a truly amazing experience. The Kimberley is a very special place and it was a privilege to be there. All aspects of the trip were perfect, staff, food, accommodation.

Fantastic experience: We have just completed the Outback to Ocean tour, where we took The Ghan to Darwin, spent 3 days in Kakadu touring with Outback Spirit Tours and finished off with 10 nights on Ponant's expedition yacht Le Laperouse, travelling from Darwin to Broome. This trip exceeded our expectations. The staff on The Ghan, were exceptional and the food & drink fabulous. Our Platinum cabin was very comfortable and spotless. The 3 day Outback Spirit tour was a highlight. Our coach was very comfortable and our Guide informative and engaging Ponant's cruise aboard Le Laperouse was the highlight of our trip. The ship was luxurious and the staff were also exceptional. Having 12 Naturalist on board and zodiac trips with them to the remote areas of the Kimberly whist we sailed Darwin to Broome, was a privilege. We learned and saw so much. We have Flower Travel in Eltham, Victoria, to thank for organising this 'bucket list' trip. Karen and her team were amazing. They were in constant communication. We had great assistance to choose our trip 12 months ago and this communication and service continued for the entire 12 months leading up to our departure and now on our return. They truly are the Kimberly Experts. We would not hesitate to recommend Flower Travel.

Fantastic experience: Awesome brilliant challenging dramatic epic fantastic great humbling informative jaw dropping lovely magnificent stunning staggering wonderful There are not enough superlatives to describe our 12 day Kimberley Expeditions cruise from Darwin to Broome. We got up close and personal with The Kimberley on The Reef Prince thanks to to the fantastic crew. We learnt so much, saw so much and see The Kimberley in a completely new way. The food on the Reef Prince was world class, delicious, fresh and plentiful. Flower Travel provided a great service and we’re very knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: Flower Travel guided is to the right cruise for needs. Coral expeditions was a great company as a provider of our Kimberley cruise. The scenery was fantastic with Kimberley showers, Montgomery Reef and the Lecepede islands being the highlights

Fantastic experience: All the bookings including 13 nights on The Eco Abrolhos, (trip of a lifetime!), Broome, Darwin, Kakadu, Katherine and Kununurra were excellent. The excursions - Broome and Beyond, Litchfield, Katherine Gorge, Yellow Waters, Kakadu, The Bungle Bungles, and Ord River Experience were all exceptional. Thank you, Flower Travel, for putting together such a memorable trip.

Fantastic experience: Just returned from a 13 night Kimberley cruise on Ocean Dream that we booked through Flower Travel / Expedition Partners. Staff were very knowledgeable and very helpful in making our decision on who to cruise with and before and after stays . We had an amazing time and would highly recommend utilising to help with booking your trip.

Fantastic experience: We have just had the best trip travelling the Kimberly coast. It is very difficult to tease out a “favourite” part of the trip. The scenery was amazing and the aboriginal rock art incredible. Such a range of amazing experiences. The Scenic Eclipse was the most luxurious yacht and the staff incredible. An amazing holiday!

Fantastic experience: Our Kimberley trip was fantastic. Worth every penny to see the magnificent King George Canyon and the many beautiful outback landscapes. Flower Travel were very helpful putting together our holiday and I would recommend their services to anyone looking at a Kimberley cruise.

Fantastic experience: Organising our trip with Flower Travel was seamless. The phone consult was invaluable as we could ensure the holiday was a good fit for us. Seeing the Kimberleys with Scenic Eclipse II was an amazing experience

Fantastic experience: Jenny from Flower Travel was great, providing advice and then organising our recent Kimberley trip with Coral Expeditions. Communication was excellent and everything went smoothly.

Fantastic experience: The Kimberley cruise on Odyssey was absolutely superb. Such a wonderful way to see the Kimberley. I also highly praise Flower Travel--the organisation was faultless and a pleasure to deal with.

Fantastic experience: From the first interaction which advised on which Coral expedition would be the best for us Jenny Flower and her crew were always friendly, knowledgeable, professional and best of all available. Gladly recommend them and would definitely use them again.

Fantastic experience: Trip was well planned at all stages - loved it all

Fantastic experience: My husband and I were very interested in traveling the Kimberly coast, having years before driven from Darwin to Broome via the Great Northern Highway. Jenny Flower and her team at Expedition Partners were first rate, from assisting us in our selection of the best cruise provider for us, to being available virtually when we needed additional info, to dealing with the monetary quirks of servicing a non-Australian client. Our only criticism would be some queries sent via email did not receive a timely response, but this was not a serious problem. Thanks, Jenny, and Team, for your professional assistance!

Fantastic experience: Flower travel were any excellent company to deal with as went the extra yard to satisfy our travel requirements. We went on the Broome to Darwin cruise on the Coral Adventurer because of it small number of passengers, use of two fast tenders and not exclusively zodiacs and everybody eating at the same time. The cruise guides and invited lecturers were excellent. The cabin, food, service and ship was excellent. The captained tour of the bridge and chief engineers tour of the engine room were a bonus. Only minor criticism was it would have nice every 3 days to have some loner walks as most of the passengers were health conscious and would have like to lose a few calories. I used the gym but our schedule was packed so difficult to make time for this.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic service from Danielle who found us a great last minute deal on a Kimberly Cruise while we travelling through Broome with our van. She booked us on flights to Darwin (with o/night accommodation) to pickup the cruise back to Broome. All seamlessly done within a couple of hours. Cruise on Coral Geographer was absolutely brilliant.

Fantastic experience: When asked how was our trip on Odyssey from Broome to Wyndham I respond that it was 100% better than I had ever expected. Mark the skipper, followed by Trini and Ben, Chloe and Jamie could not have been a better team . They all made the trip so special. Every day was filled with enthusiasm and adventure, including swimming in amazing places, exploring incredible rock formations with aboriginal paintings, fishing, catching mud crabs and not to mention two fabulous beach bonfires. Fun filled days were never ending.

Fantastic experience: We toured the Kimberleys in late April 24, on the Reef Prince through Kimberley Expeditions. It was one of the best tours we have done and benefited from having a very good and personable crew with an excellent tour director. Every day was filled with activities and the knowledge of the tour director allowed alternative activities or site visits to be organised when tides or weather ruled rout original plans. The different needs of passengers was attended to and the staff were unfailingly cheerful and helpful. The accommodation and lounge areas were first class and the meals prepared by the French chef were excellent. The Reef Prince was somewhat smaller than other cruise boats but that allowed us to access far more areas and the smaller number of 23 passengers meant better group dynamics and a high staff-passenger ratio. Coincidently a colleague went on a similar trip with a larger cruise boat and the experience was very poor compared we experienced on the Reef Prince. Can't praise the organisation highly enough, both on the boat and in the admin backup.

Fantastic experience: This cruise was a landscape spectacle at every location. Particularly impressive and unique is the tide rush from Montgomery Reef and the zodiac ride over the Horizontal Falls was very exciting. The crew were fantastic in every respect and the ship itself a wonder of modern technology. The cuisine was the icing on the cake!

Fantastic experience: Kimberley Expedition on Reef Prince was excellent. Montgomery Reef was our favorite site, and the fishing was fabulous. Our guide and crew were tops, as was the food with our French Chef GG. It was a very active trip with at least 2 excursions every day.

Fantastic experience: Our trip was absolutely amazing!! There were so many highlights, it is difficult to decide on which was our favourite. Everything we saw/did was just fantastic. The Horizontal Falls were great, fun and exciting, the rock formations were just absolutely breathtaking, the cascading waterfalls, the helicopter ride to the Mitchell Falls, all fabulous . The rock art/history was SO interesting and of course our archeologist June Ross was just gorgeous and informative and fun. Richard , our 'rock guy' was so lovely and showed us the most amazing rocks. Now, we can't leave out the Crew!! All the young hospitality crew were just so lovely and our Expedition Crew, well, what can I say. They really made the trip. Wayne, Amber, Sara and of course the gorgeous Harry, and I'm sure I've missed out quite a few but what fun they gave us! Captain Bill too. He kept us safe, and amused with his stories. All in all, the most fabulous holiday. Great cabins, delightful food and service, and the organisation of everything was just second to none. Feel I'm being way over the top, but we truly mean it. Spectacular!!

Fantastic experience: Flower Travel organised our Kimberley trip, including our wonderful 13 day cruise on the Eco Abrolhos catarmaran, which they recommended. The boat was perfect for us - very relaxed, lovely other guests, great crew and food. The accommodation they booked for us in Kununurra and Broome was excellent. The tours they arranged all ran smoothly. Flower Travel kept us informed and were really helpful and knowledgeable about the Kimberley region.

Fantastic experience: Karin was very helpful and knowledgeable in creating our travel itinerary.

Fantastic experience: From our initial booking through Flower Travel this experience has been outstanding. Taking The Ghan from Adelaide to Darwin was superb, our three days in Kakadu with Outback Spirit simply stunning and our Ponant Kimberley Cruise from Darwin to Broome exceptional. Highlights would include our sunrise at Marla in the desert (The Ghan), the Mt. Gillen helicopter flight over Alice Springs (The Ghan), followed by ancient rock art, the East Alligator River Cruise and a scenic flight over Kakadu (Outback Spirit). Our Ponant cruise highlights would be Ashmore Reef, King George Falls, Horizontal Waterfall, Helicopter flight to Mitchell Falls and all the amazing WA sunsets! This trip exceeded all expectations.

Fantastic experience: We were very happy with the trip that Jenny put together for us recently to the Kimberley. We had a draft idea of what we wanted to do but Jenny made several suggestions which definitely improved the overall experience. In particular we were really happy with visiting Emma Gorge which wasn't originally part of our plans. Thank you again.

Fantastic experience: This Kimberley Cruise was one of the most amazing holidays we have ever had. The Reef Prince and its staff were brilliant! We had a variety of daily activities and the meals were 5 star. I cant speak any more highly of this trip. It’s a must do.

Fantastic experience: Expedition Partners provided us with great detail and support which made our trip a brilliant experience. Thank you

Fantastic experience: A very knowledgable team who answered every question I had about the Kimberley region and who were veery passionate about spruiking/selling this product. Obviously well-travelled throughout this area and Jenny was able to share many practical tips and tricks to tget the best out of a holiday to this part of Australia. She was unrushed, highly enthusiastic and suggested multiple additional options we hadn't even considered. I highly recommend them as your tour arrangers if you're heading up that way!

Fantastic experience: Happy to recommend Kimberley Travel & Cruises ( formerly Flower Travel). Providing professional and friendly service, Simon and his team dealt effectively with helping to secure Qantas credits dating back to the dark days of multiple cancellations during Covid. Much appreciated.

Fantastic experience: I have used Simon’s services as a travel agent for over 20 years. He has never compromised on his work, making sound and sensible recommendations and more importantly prepared to listen to what we wanted and incorporate our wishes whenever it was possible. His work has never been less than excellent. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I booked my Kimberley Cruise, Emma Gorge and Ghan adventures after my obligation free consult with Jenny. How glad that I did - everything went to plan, including the two free nights accommodation and tour. No small amount considering the price of accommodation in the Top End. I'll definitely be contacting Jenny and Simon the next time I'm planning an adventure

Fantastic experience: In May we decided that a Kimberley cruise would be a great idea as we were keen to explore the north of our State. We found the Kimberley Travel & Cruise website provided lots of helpful information, particularly Jenny’s blogs along with the opportunity for a “discovery call”. We also read many of the very positive Google reviews about Coral Expeditions’ Kimberley cruises, so we chose one on their Coral Adventurer from Broome to Darwin in July. We then had no hesitation in contacting Jenny to arrange the booking. By that time our payment was due, and there were pre-cruise forms to be completed, and “Exclusive Bonuses” to be organised. Everything was carried out with exceptional ease, between Perth and Melbourne. The comprehensive itinerary we received prior to leaving home was greatly appreciated as they had tied together the cruise itinerary with our flights, Broome and Darwin accommodation and a half-day Broome tour (some of which we had organised), which they had extracted from the pre-cruise information we had provided earlier. We would highly recommend Jenny, Simon and their team at Flower Travel and will have no hesitation in contacting them again for any future travel arrangements. We would also highly recommend a Kimberley cruise with Coral Expeditions. The cruise gives people an amazing opportunity to see one of the most unique and beautiful parts of our country as the experiences and breathtaking scenery are only accessible from the coastal waters. Everything about the cruise was first class: the Australian crew, two daily excursions (including easy options for those with mobility issues), guest lecturers providing informative talks on various aspects of the area, dining experience, spacious and well appointed cabins, and the Xplorers (in addition to Zodiacs) which are unique to Coral Expeditions. Everything about the cruise far exceeded our expectations. The team at Flower Travel made all of this happen for us, and it was definitely a once in a lifetime experience.

Fantastic experience: We were very pleased with the help we received from Jenny and Simon when we were deciding on which cruise to choose for our Kimberley holiday. The cruise we settled for, Coral Expeditions, suited us perfectly. We were also very pleased with the 2 free nights accommodation and hop on hop off bus pass in Darwin. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Just back from our Kimberly Cruise on the Coral Adventurer. It was a wonderful experience. From our first contact with Jenny to disembarking in Broome everything went smoothly. A fantastic cruise line and great service from Flower Travel. Thoroughly recommend

Fantastic experience: We booked a cruise on the Coral Adventurer, from Broome to Darwin, with Flower Travel. They organised our 2 night stay in Broome, including a half day tour and everything was very easy. After our fabulous cruise up the magnificent Kimberley coast, we were taken to our Darwin accommodation, where we were based until our booking on the Ghan to Adelaide. Our experience with Flower Travel couldn’t be faulted.

Fantastic experience: This cruise/expedition exceeded our expectations. The daily/twice daily activities wonderful; all the crew professional and friendly and the guest lecturers and expedition crew were so knowledgeable about the area. Wholeheartedly recommend this trip for everyone, even if you have limited mobility. This company will accommodate your needs.

Fantastic experience: Booking a Kimberley cruise on the True North through Jenny Flower and Kimberley Travel & Cruise for March 2020 was a great decision on my part, although I didn't know it at the time. Once the pandemic shut down travel, Jenny and her staff stayed in touch regularly to help me negotiate the Australian restrictions and figure out when I could finally do the Kimberley Waterfalls cruise. After three and a half years, I boarded the True North in Broome in early April and was wowed by the ship, the staff, the cuisine, and even the other travelers on board. All the special events, like the picnic at Charibun Falls with the entire complement of passengers and crew, were well executed and memorable. Ducking into the Hunter River to avoid the cyclone changed our planned itinerary, but not our fun at all. And on our last day, the King George Falls were monumental because of the cyclone--even the crew had never seen them with so much water. Many thanks to Jenny and her staff for helping this Yank finally get to visit the Kimberley!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I are in our early 70s and Simon Flower of Kimberley Travel & Cruise recommended that we join the Reef Prince for a cruise from Geraldton to Broome. We are both active and we fitted in well with the other guests. We loved the sense of adventure being at times 120 kilometres off the coast of WA, snorkeling, fishing and exploring the Abrolhos and Montebello Islands. We were led by Tour Leader Paul, who was a professional photographer and Paul shared his amazing photos with us. The history of the sinking of the dutch ship the Batavia came alive when we walked in the footsteps of the survivors. The clarity of the water and the abundance of sea life was a highlight. I am not a fisherman but I landed two 7kg snapper on my first day throwing in a line in. The chef cooked up our catch and fed the 17 passengers and 10 crew. The Abrolhos Islands are the centre for the crayfish industry and we took on board enough crayfish for everyone to have their own crayfish mornay. The chef, Jayden was gifted. The variety and quality of food was fantastic! We loved this 13 day cruise covering 1050 nautical miles and recommend the cruise to people who enjoy adventure with comfort and delicious food.

Positive experience: These guys really know what they're talking about. I would highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Recently returned from South America where we visited Iguazu Falls, toured Buenos Aires, did a magnificent Antarctica Trip with G Adventures. Everything was organised magnificently by Kimberley Travel & Cruise (previously Flower Travel). Our transfers from the airport and hotels were great and our day tours were fabulous. Flights kept changing regularly but with such great planning everything ran smoothly. Would highly recommend Kimberley Travel and Cruise. Thanks guys for organising a magnificent trip.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I highly recommend booking trips through Flower travel (now Kimberly travel and cruise). We have had a few trips organised by the amazing team and will be back for more. The team is second to none, so helpful, professional and responsive, even over the Christmas period when our travel plans unexpectedly had to change. Simon was so helpful, quickly sorting a new destination for us and taking care of all of the arrangements. We have seen so many spectacular places and had amazing experiences and are so greatful to Simon and the team for helping to make them happen. Thanks!!!

Fantastic experience: We now use Kimberly Travel and Cruise for all our Australian and overseas cruise travel. Our first experience was on the Coral Discoverer from Broome to Darwin which was a bucket list trip. All arrangements went smoothly and we had a great trip on Simon’s recommendation. We recently booked on another bucket list trip to Antarctica but unfortunately we were unable to complete this trip on account of catching Covid just prior to the cruise departing. Simon and his team helped us to return home safely, which we are thankful for. It’s was good to know we had the support when the trip didn’t go as planned.

Fantastic experience: I want to thank Simon and Jenny at Flower Travel for their excellent service, communication and follow up. I highly recommend Flower Travel to book your Kimberley Cruise and if you have time have them book for you The Ghan Train journey.

Fantastic experience: Our experience with Flower Travel was nothing less than amazing, rom the time of our first contact , through the steps we had to take pre trip through to follow up after our return home. The cruise itself was spectacular -a real WOW factor. We cannot speak highly enough of this amazing adventure. Many thanks Jenny, Simon and the team at Flower Travel.

Fantastic experience: Our cruise with Kimberley Expeditions on the Reef Prince finally came to fruition this July after a cancellation in 2021 because of WA border closures. Kimberley Travel and Cruise (Flower Travel) maintained excellent communication throughout the time and would be our recommendation for organising such an amazing experience. And that was what we got on the Reef Prince! Only 36 guests (maximum) were looked after like family with 5-star restaurant food, attentive and fun-loving staff and an expert tour director. It was so well organised and because of the size of Reef Prince and its three tenders we felt we got to places that others missed. So many excursions - but you could always opt out and relax on the decks or go fishing! And everything we caught was cooked expertly and served to us! Brilliant!

Fantastic experience: Sailing from Darwin to Broome on the Reef Prince has been on my bucket list for years and it did not disappoint. They really showcase the natural wonders of this ancient landscape, the rock art, ,the wildlife. Swimming in the warm sea and the remote rock pools the excitement of the horizontal waterfalls all in glorious winter sunshine. The crew were great, adding to a to a really top adventure.

Fantastic experience: Good advice & great support from KT&C for our wonderful Kimberley trip.

Fantastic experience: Very efficient and friendly travel agency who assisted us in finding the right Kimberley cruise for our family, in this case a 10 night cruise on the Coral Geographer from Darwin-Broome. Both Jenny and Simon were a pleasure to deal with. Will not hesitate to recommend them to others or use them again ourselves.

Fantastic experience: We booked our Kimberley cruise with KT&C. Their website had lots of information on all the boats. The booking process was quite straightforward. The additional information provided was very helpful, and all our queries were answered promptly. We were too late booking to get accommodation in Broome (plus Darwin) within KT&C's list of hotels within their $500 allowance, but they gave us this credit and we were able to self-book OK. The Broome half-day tour that's also included was also worthwhile, especially if you don't have a car, as it includes places that are not on the bus route and are too far to walk. All in all, we were very satisfied with our experience with KT$C.

Fantastic experience: The Kimberley Cruise on the Le La Perouse was outstanding with great places to see and excellent service from the exploration team and crew. Thanks to Kimberley Travel & Cruise for organising the trip.

Fantastic experience: We have just returned from our Reef Prince- Broome to Darwin cruise and are thrilled to say that it exceeded our wildest dreams! Paul, Jay and the whole crew provided us with an exceptional experience exploring this majestic coastline. The activities were well planned, interesting, varied and physically challenging; the food delicious and plentiful and the atmosphere onboard was friendly and loads of FUN. THank YOU Jenny and team for initially assisting in us in making the best choice to suit us and for all your helpful advice throughout the process of planning during border closures etc. We are very appreciative of the care we received.

Fantastic experience: Our Kimberley cruise was booked through Flower Travel with Coral Expeditions. The cruise was beyond expectations, not enough superlatives to describe the landscape and experience. During a very difficult pandemic time we found Flower Travel exceptional with their expertise. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: This was our second cruise booked through Simon at Flower travel. Simon is always extremely helpful and professional. We look forward to booking our next holiday through him in the future.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I recommend Flower Travel most highly for their assistance and care, particularly so as we have not yet travelled! A Kimberley Cruise has been on our "to do" list for years, and we were booked on the Coral Adventurer in 2020. However, Covid cancellation intervened -Jenny, Simon and staff made all arrangements to carry credits forward to 2021. Bookings were confirmed to cruise from Darwin to Broome, departing in early June. Unfortunately, two days before departure, I was hospitalised following a couple of TIA's and told that I should cancel any travel. A quick call to Simon - he took care of advising Coral Expeditions, accommodation providers and insurance. Now five months later, cruise charges have been repaid by the insurance company, while accommodation charges that were quibbled over by the insurance company have been refunded to us by Flower Travel. Outstanding care, assistance and attention! We are most grateful.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I booked a Ponant Kimberley cruise with this company to depart Broome in 2020. We were given every assistance by Flower Travel, from the initial booking to additional accommodation and optional extras. As we live in Queensland, we were unable to travel to WA to take up this cruise due to the advent of COVID19. So we deferred our cruise for 12 months, again with assistance from Flower Travel. Sadly in 2021 we needed to request a refund in which we were again ably assisted. We still hope to be able to enjoy a Kimberley cruise in the future and will definitely go back to Flower Travel when the time is right.

Fantastic experience: Magnificent trip, which succeeded against all the odds of shifting lockdowns on the East Coast, - entirely due to the personal attention of the agent's staff. My thanks to them. Well worth it.

Fantastic experience: We have just returned from a wonderful Kimberley cruise on the Coral Adventurer. We travelled under an excellent package organised by Kimberley Travel and Cruise. When the original booking was cancelled in 2020 due to Covid, Kimberley Travel and Cruise reorganised the whole package to take place in June 2021. This was carried out very smoothly and we were kept up to date through good communication. We were forced to make last minute changes to our flights from Brisbane to Darwin before the cruise for personal reasons and this was handled extremely efficiently by the staff at Kimberley Travel and Cruise. When it was time to lodge an insurance claim, Simon came to our rescue in helping this process along. At all times, Kimberley Travel and Cruise were very prompt with their communication and information. Their recommendations for the cruise company, accommodation and sightseeing ideas were spot on! We'd have no hesitation in recommending their excellent services and would use them again for our travel needs.
