Cruise as one of only 28 guests aboard Paspaley Pearl and access remote coastal environments with ease. Over 12 spectacular nights, our boutique vessel advances our arrival to these far-flung regions, accompanied by our onboard naturalists.

We immerse ourselves within venerated lands, home to the oldest continuous culture on Earth. As we learn more about the Dreaming and ancient rock art, while meeting with Indigenous communities, our voyage becomes imbued with a sense of timelessness, as we trace coasts to otherwise seldom-visited sites.  

View some of the world’s oldest and rarely seen rock art galleries in Arnhem Land’s Mt Borradaile. Aboard light aircraft, we reach this remote and sacred site, which features depictions of animals (some now extinct) as well as Creation Stories. Here, we also look upon the revered Rainbow Serpent.

For a brief time, we are the northernmost people on the Australian mainland, as we reach the rocky tip of Cape York. Gaze across the mesmerising blue waters of the Torres Strait to neighbouring islands during this precious moment.
