At the K2O HQ, we receive many letters of thanks for a holiday experience of a lifetime with a crew that exceed expectations. You can read some of the testimonials on this website. It is also a pleasure to receive disks and emails with photos, so we can keep the website fresh.

This year we have seen the latest in cyber-social networking come together with the more traditional idea of feedback with the creation of a K2O Cruise Blog by Dean Murray & Tania Lindau who travelled with us in July this year. They had a great time with the crew and fellow passengers on their Discovery Expedition starting with a fixed wing scenic flight over the Kimberley region to the Mitchell Plateau followed by a chopper flight over the Mitchell Falls. That was before they even got to the boat!!

Read all about their adventures…… and feel free to leave any comments.

I would say the most popular question I am asked regarding clothing is:
“Are there hairdryers on board?”

We do not supply hairdryers and they are generally not necessary but it does really depend on your personal grooming preferences. K2O is equipped with 240v electricity so it is fine to pack a hairdryer but the climate is very conducive for natural drying and do not forget that 10kg limit!!

The Kimberley enjoys a balmy, tropical climate which lends itself to lightweight, casual cotton clothing. This applies to evening wear as well – no need to pack a tux to dine at our “Captain’s Table!!”

A spray jacket is advisable as the wind can get up at certain times of the year. Also, if you are doing an early morning helicopter flight it is worth wearing a light jumper becaue the chopper does not have doors and the morning temperatures can be chilly in the Dry Season (June-August).

For the ladies, a sarong is very useful given that it can be multi-functional; towel for drying off, towel for sitting on, wrap over after swimming and great protection from the sun.

Another handy accessory for both men and women would be a water bottle. Our guides equip the tenders with water but some may prefer to bring their own and can be filled up on the main vessel where the desalinator produces 3000 litres of the freshest water you will drink.

You will find fresh, fluffy towels in your cabin upon arrival and towels are available for excursions.

Footwear is also a concern for people. We generally wear bare feet on board the main vessel K2O. When doing excursions, we suggest a sandal-type shoe that you do not mind getting wet and is suitable for walking on dry land. Some walks can be challenging so a sandal with a grip is recommended.
