Adventure and Outdoors Tours
One Tide Charters offers adventure cruises designed for travellers who have a sense of adventure and are keen to go beyond standard cruise itineraries. Cruises depart from and return to the Kimberley town of Derby and are 8, 12 or 15 days duration.
One Tide Charters specialises in visiting places and offering activities that other operators are unable to include in their itineraries.
With the option of either camping on secluded beaches or rolling out a swag onboard their vessel (the Kimberley Xplorer), their cruises are an authentic Australian wilderness experience with an emphasis on providing the opportunity for clients to physically explore the Kimberley’s vast and rugged coastline.
Being an owner-operated business (your skipper owns the business) you are assured of a cruising experience with an operator who not only knows the coastline intimately, but is passionate about making sure his passengers get to see the best that the amazing Kimberley coastline has to offer. Trips are fully catered for with fresh fish, oysters and mud crabs offering superb cuisine. Delicious home-cooked meals are also available for those who don’t eat seafood. Dietary requirements are also catered for.
Customised cruises of a longer duration or exclusive charters can also be arranged. All their cruises incorporate the magnificent Horizontal Waterfalls.

The 1000 Islands Charter by One Tide Charters is a boutique six-day exploration through the heart of the Buccaneer Archipelago — a labyrinth of islands, secluded coves and hidden tidal creeks that define the Kimberley coast. Designed for those who want to truly immerse themselves in this extraordinary region, this shorter itinerary focuses on depth, not distance.
With less time spent travelling, guests can explore more — anchoring in calm bays, fishing crystal clear waterways, swimming beneath remote waterfalls and wandering pristine beaches. Each day reveals something new, from coral-rimmed inlets and ancient rock formations to mangrove-lined estuaries alive with birdlife and marine creatures.
This charter is ideal for those seeking an intimate, adventure-rich experience without the longer voyage north. While it does not include a Horizontal Falls visit, it offers exclusive access to some of the Kimberley’s most breathtaking and little-known locations — the kind only a small, purpose-built vessel like Kimberley Xplorer can reach.
Perfect for travellers wanting to slow down, connect with nature and experience the Kimberley, properly.
