ABOARD THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ORION

EXPEDITION HIGHLIGHTS

» Cruise the turquoise waters of the Kimberley coastline and soar over

the beehive formations of the Bungle Bungle Range during a scenic

power of King George Falls, twin cascades that tumble some 260 feet

at their peak in May and June.

» Examine some of the oldest rock art in the world at an outdoor Gwion

Gwion gallery, and learn about ancient Aboriginal mythology.

» Explore mangroves, narrow inlets, and reefs by Zodiac, spotting a variety of^

wildlife such as crocodiles and water birds. Search for humpback whales,

which begin to arrive in June and are most abundant in August.
