The waters are teeming with many species of fish, including barramundi, mangrove jack, fingermark bream, salmon, giant trevally, queenfish and countless others that have never seen a lure..

The large Kimberley river systems, many of them unnamed, are teeming with fish, and the ever formidable barramundi can be found and skillfully caught in these rivers and the tidal creeks. Water lilies, prehistoric ferns and many species of birds are abundant, along with the ever lurking saltwater crocodile.
​
The Kimberley Quest can take you to many spectacular places - Cascade Bay, Inland Sea, Cone Bay, Talbot Bay, Strickland Bay, Whirlpool Passage, Horizontal Waterfalls, Cockatoo Island, Crocodile Creek, and even further north to the Prince Regent and King George Rivers and onto Wyndham. We specialise in adventurous wilderness cruises, and our aim is to give you a trip never to be forgotten.
All of the days that you will be fishing with Kimberley Quest will include a dinghy (5 Metre) and a fishing guide. You will fish all daylight hours, usually returning to the Kimberley Quest for lunch. Lunch will be timed around the tides, and after a short break, you will resume fishing until the sun goes down. Days are organised around the tides, so you will get the most out of your fishing time.​
​Services & Facilities
The Kimberley Quest II offers the ultimate in luxury surroundings for your fishing adventure with a well appointed 25 metre fully air-conditioned cruise vessel, equipped with helipad and spa. All cabins have their own private ensuite, seperate air-conditioning and fridge. Custom built for accessing the shallow estuaries and waterways of the Kimberley, the Kimberley Quest II is the perfect vessel to explore this vast coastline.
Extended Fishing Expeditions
The Kimberley Quest II only takes a maximum of 12 fishing guests to ensure that there is plenty of space in our custom built tenders driven by knowledgeable and enthusiastic guides who will use their experience to help you land the big ones!
Let us show you our secret spots where we work the numerous rock bars, snags and run-offs from dawn until dusk.
​
All of our specialist Kimberley fishing expeditions are scheduled specifically around the tides to give you maximum fishing time and idyllic conditions. We take a maximum of 12 fishermen to ensure that there is ample space in our four custom-built 5m excursion tenders, all equipped with depth sounders and four-stroke 90HP Honda outboards.
​
All fishing excursions are accompanied by one of our experienced Kimberley fishing guides. We provide a large range of specialist rods and reels, as well as an extensive array of lures. Gear is provided, however you are of course welcome to bring your favourite lures and your own rod and reel.
Heli fishing is available at an additional cost. Note this is to be arranged with the office prior to departure.
This is only a suggested itinerary. The remote Kimberley region experiences large tidal movements which can affect our itinerary. We may need to vary this from time to time, however, no matter the tides, we always visit the spectacular icons of this region. There will be plenty of land and sightseeing excursions to many untouched places, and opportunities to catch fresh fish for the table.
