Australia’s Top End, Indonesia & Kakadu - Cruise & Land Journey

Embark on an extraordinary sea and land journey through some of the most remote and captivating regions of northern Australia and eastern Indonesia, combining remote island exploration with the wild beauty of the Top End. Aboard Scenic Eclipse II, depart Cairns, where the Great Barrier Reef meets the lush edge of the Daintree Rainforest, then follow Australia’s far northern coastline to Lizard Island, Cape York and the Torres Strait, where landscapes and cultures feel distinctly shaped by their isolation. Crossing into Indonesia, arrive at Asmat Regency in South Papua, an access point to one of the region’s most remote and rarely visited areas, before continuing through the coral-rich waters of Triton Bay and the secluded Kai and Tanimbar Islands, where vibrant marine life and island traditions reveal a deeper sense of place. Your journey continues ashore in Australia’s tropical north, where Darwin’s vibrant harbour city offers a gateway to immersive experiences, from crocodile encounters and Litchfield’s waterfalls to layers of wartime history. Venture deeper into the UNESCO-listed wilderness of Kakadu National Park, where ancient rock art, vast wetlands and dramatic escarpments reveal a landscape shaped over millennia. End in the serene floodplains of the Mary River before returning to Darwin, enriched by a journey through some of the world’s most remote and compelling landscapes. Guided by Indigenous knowledge and explored from river, land and air, this remarkable region offers a deeper connection to its landscapes and living traditions, bringing your journey to a truly memorable close.
