'Thank you for organising a wonderful cruise - we could not have wished for anything more - it was perfect for us. Lenny and Tracy were the best possible hosts/guides etc.'
Anne and Richard Lockwood
'I returned from a wonderful trip on Discovery One a few weeks ago. I am sorry that it has taken me so long to write! I had a fantastic time...everything was wonderful. The vivid reds in the rocks, the beautiful colour of the sea, the several sightings of whales and the many voyages out in the boats, travelling along lovely creeks and mangroves and the great and plentiful food made the trip such a wonderful experience. I have long wanted to see this amazing country and, many thanks to Richard Fox, I now know what a beautiful area of Australia this is. Thankyou for all the arrangements and for sending the new calendar. Please pass my thanks on to all concerned.'
Shelley Royal
'What a trip, by about day 7 it seemed that perhaps we could just continue to wander in this magnificent place, visiting more bays, creeks, waterfall and billabongs. We had a wonderful journey. My thanks to you all for a super holiday with a unique group of people in a singularly unique area.'
Maurice Field
'Just a quick note to thank you for one of the best organised tours we have ever been on. We had a great holiday, met some terrific people and thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip. With sincere thanks again and in anticipation.'
Marion & Roger Searle
'We are home from our wonderful trip. And to express my gratitude to Len & Traci and their staff for the experience of a life time they afforded us. I don’t think I can find enough words to express how great Len & Traci are. In the short time we were on the boat, they made it feel like home for us and that we were off on a wonderful adventure together. Nothing was ever to much trouble and our every need was catered to. Many thanks again.'

'It was a great tip; very relaxing, mild weather. I thought everything ran smoothly. I loved flying over the coast to Berkley River in the Paspaley sea plane, as they flew low & the windows were very clear & clean, so got some very good pics.

Ian & Sandra Gunston, Angle Vale, SA. Prince Regent River cruise, August 2011.
'We have been back home for a week now. Just had to get in touch and let you know what a wonderful cruise we had, it absolutely surpassed all our very high expectations. We were thrilled with the meticulous arrangements you and your company made to get us all from Broome to Cape Leveque, onto Discovery One and back to Broome, and the wonderful activities and places we were all taken to on the tenders. The logistics involved to supply the great standard of activities, food and services, and most of all the quality of staff, were not lost on us. How Tracey turns out such beautiful meals day after day was nothing short of a miracle - very clever menus, something for everyone. We have fallen in love with the Kimberley region and we will return. We have passed on your brochure to several friends as we have no hesitation in recommending a holiday with Kimberley Discovery Cruises.'

'Just a note to thank you for the cruise. It was a wonderful experience and the area is truly one of the last frontiers. The crew were really superb, nothing too much trouble, smiling faces, wonderful food (too much for me). I feel everyone on our trip will rave about the experience to their friends and family and accordingly I reckon you’ll get plenty of word of mouth advertising (the best type) from our group.'

Jim & Yvonne Quinlan, Mackay, QLD Derby to Mitchell Plateau Cruise: April 2009
'I would like to thank you for having this wonderful cruise available. We had an experience beyond our imagination and were able to see Australia at its best. The scenery was breathtaking; to explain the sheer beauty would do it no justice unless you actually saw it for yourself.'
Karen Howard, Yeronga, QLD Sale River Cruise: May 2009
'What a wonderful, magnificent cruise on Discovery One we have just experienced. From beginning to end, we had the time of our lives. The crew were brilliant, the boat was great and the Kimberley was breathtaking - indescribable really. The sheer size and isolation was truly remarkable.'
Barbara & Len Davies, Applecross, WA Prince Regent River Cruise: May 2009

Gay Suters, NSW Sale River Cruise: June 2009
'How is it possible to give a huge thank you to all the team of Kimberley Discovery Cruises? I was left speechless on my return to Broome. Just fantastic, spectacular, superlative or just the best investment i have ever made...are all not quite good enough to explain how much of a wonderful experience it was. I cancelled a trip to Thailand to do the cruise and, may I say, it was probably the best decision I've made in my 65 years."
Colin O'Toole, Mordialloc, VIC Sale River Cruise: June 2009
'The Prince Regent River Cruise is, without doubt, the best thing we have ever done. You must be congratulated in so many ways....everybody on board praised the whole cruise. We have seen a fair bit of the world but none is as good as this trip. You showed us our country. We should have done it years ago.'

Our sincere thanks for what will be remembered by us as simply the best trip and holiday we have ever experienced.'
