Day One
At around 13h00 our driver meets you. Depart your luxury accommodation for Broome Airport. Hop aboard a light aircraft for a scenic flight to the Mitchell Plateau. Now into a helicopter to view the magnificent Mitchell Falls. Transfer by sea to the luxurious sanctuary of Seven Star. Settle into your extravagantly comfortable en-suite cabin. Meet the Captain and The Crew for safety briefing. And the adventure begins. Board a tender for sightseeing or fishing the Hunter River. Join an expedition to explore Jackson Falls. And eyes open for the ever-present gigantic crocs. Cocktail hour is enjoyed aboard Seven Star. Fine dining and fine wines are the order of the evening. Enjoying five-billion-star cuisine beneath the night sky. Retire below or party on deck.

Day Two
Awake to the splendour of the Mitchell River. A remote waterway known for big barra and even bigger crocs. Head up river on the jet boat to scenic Surveyors Creek. Idyllic day of fishing, sightseeing or simply relaxing. Trophy hunters can search for the not-so-elusive barramundi. Land a barra and our Chef will prepare it for you on the spot. It’s all part of the exceptional service. Select a from our extensive wine list for a complimentary white. Another day and another glorious Kimberley sunset. Cocktails start in the salon but often finish in the hydro-massage tub. Contemplation and solitude below. Maybe a DVD, Foxtel, or surf the Internet. Throw any stress over-board as the Kimberley works its magic. And enjoy a leisurely night cruise to Vansittart Bay.

Day Three
The day begins with breakfast beautifully prepared and served. Sleep in if you like. Indulge yourself. Stay aboard and curl up with a good book or magazine. Birdwatchers are in paradise. And the fishing is as enticing as ever. You’re welcome to visit the world’s oldest art gallery. See Aboriginal rock-art that is older than any other art on earth. An experience that often asks more questions than it answers. Who painted them? When? And why? After lunch continue exploring the many beaches and inlets. Step into history and visit a World War 11 bomber crash site. As night descends the fine wine disappears just as easily. World-class cuisine is served under the stars. The end to an eventful day and your luxury suite calls.
 
Day Four
The Drysdale River greets you. Plenty of barra as the salt water meets the fresh water. Then a short cruise to one of the Kimberley’s biggest rivers. Tide permitting we cross the sandbars into the mighty King George River. Wonder at beautiful scenery and extraordinary wildlife in every direction. Journey upstream to the jewel in the crown - King George Falls. Seven Star nudges into anchor at the base of the twin falls. A paradise is waiting to be discovered. Swim the water holes, climb the falls or feast on oysters from the rocks. An oasis of tranquillity that enchants all who visit. It’s difficult to leave such beauty so we stay the night. With the falls as a backdrop cocktails are served. The constellations shimmer as you enjoy another culinary delight.
 
Day Five
The morning sun reveals King George falls in all its glory. A shower beneath the cascading water is always highly recommended. After breakfast fit for King George himself we set sail. A short cruise to Koolama Bay and the wreck of the Koolama. Consider the harsh reality of this unforgiving coastline. A plaque in memory of the wreck makes for sober reading. Experience a land of contrast as we enter Tranquil Bay. A place of special beauty insulated from time. Explore the coves and comb the beaches for your shell collection. Return to Seven Star for cocktails and a voyage to the Berkley River. All of the comforts of home are at your convenience. Attentive service responds to your every whim. And the finest food and finest wines disappear with the setting sun.

Day Six
Wake once again to the clear blue skies of the Kimberley dry season. Is this your last chance to land a barramundi? Fishing expeditions on the Berkley River are rarely disappointed. The jet boat is launched for more exploring and sightseeing. Oyster Hunters have been known to disappear for hours. A banquet of splendid proportions is prepared for your final lunch. The sun is over the yard-arm and the bubbly is open. When the tide permits the final voyage begins. We cruise into the Cambridge Gulf and toward our final destination. We have reached the port of Wyndham,

Day Seven
After breakfast it is time to say farewell. For departing guests it’s a short drive to Kununurra. And aboard a light aircraft for a scenic flight to Broome. Our driver will be waiting at the airport. And you are chauffeured back to your luxury hotel accommodation. Meanwhile Seven Star prepares to leave Wyndham. New guests arrive and another Kimberley Experience begins. She sets off southwards retracing her northern journey. Seven days to the Hunter River. And seven more days until home in Broome.
