Adsy (now also known as “Dadsy”) recently took baby Jack down to the boat when it was in Broome, to catch up with the crew and introduce them to his newest recruit. Although no longer working onboard, Adsy is still doing some great work for us with his boat fitting craftmanship, and now that Adsy and Sally are based in Broome for a while, we may also be able to rope him into being a relief deckhand from time to time down the track!

We wish Adsy and Sally all the very best for their new family in Broome, and we are delighted to welcome Jack to The Great Escape family too.

As the Wet-Season winds to an end and MV Great Escape makes her way back home after her 4 month sojourn down south during the Wet-Season, we are excitedly preparing for our new Kimberley Coast cruise season with our first cruise departing next Thursday 29th March.

Our 8 night Waterfall Safari will cover all the spectacular waterfalls from Broome to Wyndham. If you have ever wondered what happens to this breathtaking land in the regenerative “off-season” after all the rain, our first few cruises for the season take you through this amazing transformation. Where the vegetation turns lush vibrant green, the water flows at every turn, and the wildlife return with renewed vigour.

We now have exciting new 4 night cruises scheduled in August, providing an extraordinary escape from winter, and an escape from the everyday. The Quintessential Kimberley Coast Escape is a magical introduction to this ancient land over five activity-filled days including a return charter flight across the southern Kimberley and a return helicopter transfer from the heart of the Kimberley Coast to land aboard MV Great Escape. At $3, 385 per person we have created the most affordable luxury wilderness adventure cruise in the Kimberley and an opportunity to experience the fabled Kimberley Coast while you are holidaying in Broome. Please call the office on 08 9193 5983 or email cruises@greatescape.net.au if you would like to find out more. The other good news is that Cable Beach has just come in at Number 4 on this year’s Australia’s Best Beaches list, so there’s another very good reason to choose to escape to Broome this year! The full list of results can be found on Trip Advisor.
