| Description |
What do you get when you mix some of the world’s best beaches with a backdrop of rugged outback terrain? It could only be Australia’s west coast. Hop aboard this unique Perth to Broome tour and you’ll get a hefty dose of natural wonders – on land and in the sea – and a proper introduction to this region’s rich and colourful culture. This is Australia's biggest state, so there’ll be vast coast and desert, sparse amenities and a real feeling of isolation, but you can bet the rewards are worth it. |
The Tasmania cruises run by Coral Expeditions explore the Australia island state at the meeting point of the Southern, Indian and Pacific oceans. The pristine wilderness and national parks here teem with wildlife and rugged mountain ranges meet the sea with soaring coastal cliffs and crescent beaches carved by the elements. Amid this natural backdrop is intriguing colonial history, underpinned by a convict heritage and historic sites. Follow in the footsteps of colonial explorers to far-flung reaches of the island where tales of maritime adventures abound, preserved streetscapes are living museums, and world-class artists find inspiration at every turn. Shaped by a climate straddling the Roaring Forties latitudes, the Apple Isle has verdant valleys and hills of fertile pastures, vineyards and orchards. Emerging from centuries-old cellar doors and farm gates are award-winning cheeses, premium wines, craft beers and artisanal spirits inspired by the ample natural assets of Tasmania. Cruise to the edge of the world on the premium Coral Discoverer on an expedition that unites wombats with wine, beaches with brie, and convict ruins with craft beer in a palate-pleasing adventure cruise into the wild heart of Tasmania.Enjoy an unforgettable 10-night cruise through pristine wilderness and colonial history in Tasmania |
