Day 8: Le Ponant disembarkation in Kuri Bay and Broome

After an exceptional journey along the Northern Kimberley Coast, you'll farewell the crew and disembark Le Ponant at 7.00 am in Kuri Bay, the location of Australia's first cultured pearl farm. Named after the company's first principal, Tokuichi Kuribayashi, it is now the home of Paspaley, the world’s most important producer of cultured pearls. Enjoy a private tour of the Paspaley Pearl Farm before ending your expedition in style, taking in spectacular aerial views of the Kimberley aboard a Paspaley Grumman Mallard amphibious aircraft between Kuri Bay and Broome.
