Aboard 'Kangaroo Explorer' you will enjoy a unique cruising experience that allows you to enjoy some of the most pristine and remote areas of the reef, and also includes early Australian history, fishing, snorkeling and more. Your cruise accommodation is fully air-conditioned, cabins - all en-suite, all meals, plus snorkeling and fishing equipment supplied. Visit remote islands and enjoy coral viewing from our own glass bottom boat 'Joey'. Combine this with the service of our experienced and professional crew and this is a journey you will long remember.

The other very special place is Pajinka Wilderness Lodge. Situated at the remote 'tip of Australia' where the Indian Ocean meets the Pacific. Pajinka provides a 5 star nature based experience. The surrounding region boasts some of the best wildlife and bird watching in Australia.
