Why Coral Expeditions?
From humble beginnings on the Great Barrier Reef over 40 years ago, Coral Expeditions have taken their unique style of Australian expedition cruising to the far-flung lands of the Kimberley, Tasmania, the Small Islands of Japan and Papua New Guinea. Wherever they go, they have one purpose – taking small groups of like-minded explorers to the most remote parts of the world with expert guidance and warm Australian hospitality.
