What to expect
Your day begins with a light aircraft flight north from Broome, offering unobstructed views of the archipelago's scattered islands and the region's dramatic tidal systems. Landing at Cygnet Bay, you'll join a working pearl farm tour to see how pearls are cultivated and harvested—staff walk you through the operation before a meal overlooking the working farm and water. The afternoon sea safari varies by tide: you might navigate Escape Passage's powerful tidal rush or cruise quieter inshore islands. The flight home retraces your route at a different time of day, revealing how light transforms the landscape.
