The Great Escape Charter Company

The Great Escape Charter Company is one of the original luxury cruise operators exploring two of the most remote, pristine, and truly awesome destinations in Australia’s far North West; the Kimberley Coast and the Rowley Shoals. As one of the longest running and most successful adventure cruise operators in the Kimberley, the owner-operator skippers of The Great Escape know intimately the secrets and hidden treasures of this awe-inspiring region.

The Rowley Shoals is one of Australia’s last pristine dive locations, mainly due to it’s remote location 300 kilometres west of Broome, and also the strict rules enforced by the Department of Environment & Conservation here in WA. These three pear-shaped coral atolls rising 440 metres above the ocean floor are regarded as the best example of shelf atolls in Australia, just one of the many reasons why they are gaining a reputation as one of the best dive sites in the southern hemisphere, and never cease to amaze even the most experienced divers.

This adventure playground includes a diverse array of diving environments including lagoons, canyons, caves, high speed drifts, and sheer outer reef walls. You will be amazed by the 688 species of tropical fish and 233 varieties of coral and also Manta Rays, curious sharks and giant Potato Cod.
