Description
View cruises with Kuri Bay, AustraliaKuri Bay is a remote coastal bay in the far north of Western Australia in the Kimberley region, about 370 km (230 mi) north of Broome. It is the home to Australia's first cultured pearl farm and is named after the company's first principal, Tokuichi Kuribayashi (1896–1982). The Japanese-American-Australian company commenced operations in 1956 following the Western Australian Government repealing the Pearling Act that prohibited the production, sale and possession of cultured pearls.
Due to restrictions in the Kimberley Wilderness Area, passengers will only be allowed ashore into Kuri Bay if they are part of an organised tour
