I have said repeatedly that Australians have amazing geographies in their backyard and the idea that a region so stunning and filled with marvels is an easy voyage away, is truly remarkable. As one who has spent a lifetime exploring remote and pristine parts of the globe, I believe the Kimberley ranks as one of the most spirit-expanding places I have ever visited.<\/p>\n<p>Ourjob is to provide meaningful expedition experiences for our guests and in the Kimberley we have incredible resources: an expedition team with ten years of local experience, augmented by knowledgeable Lindblad Expedition veterans, for a staff- to-guest ratio that ensures an exceptional experience. Plus, the best expedition ship in the region, National Geographic Orion, is equipped with a first-class suite of exploration tools to reveal the many facets of the Kimberley.<\/p>\n<p>Then, when you have the prospect of a Kimberley experience before you, isn&#8217;t it great to know that you&#8217;ll make memories and have a visual record, too? On National Geographic Orion, you can confidently assume it. A National Geographic photographer and a Lindblad-National Geographic certified photo instructor accompany every departure this season\u2014to inspire and help you. I find that guests who might never have considered themselves photographers get involved in the photography fun aboard and end up thrilled with their results, whether they&#8217;re using a smartphone camera, a point-and-shoot, or sophisticated gear.<\/p>\n<p>I am very gratified that the Kimberley is part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.expeditions.com\/\">Lindblad Expeditions<\/a>-National Geographic global expedition portfolio. On behalf of our enthusiastic team, I look forward to welcoming you aboard and to sharing a Kimberley adventure with you in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>All the best,<br \/>Sven-Olof Lindblad<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October 2013 Dear Fellow Traveller, Earlier this year I had the pleasure of travelling, unfortunately briefly, on National Geographic Orion in the Kimberley, but that short visit made quite an impact.
