What to expect
You'll board a vessel for a gentle cruise up Dampier Creek, scanning the banks and inlets for birdlife and scanning the waterbed for those prehistoric footprints. The boat carries gourmet platters to nibble as you drift. Back on land, you'll settle into the venue's waterfront setting where a cocktail arrives first, followed by five rounds of tapas-style dishes. Each course builds on the last. The finale is a seriously rich chocolate cake that's hard to fault. Expect a full day of looking, floating, eating and drinking rather than intense physical exertion.
Good to know
Moderate fitness needed for boat boarding and creek exploration. Reef shoes mandatory—hire them on-site, buy a pair, or bring your own (check the website for approved footwear). Service animals welcome. The vehicle is air-conditioned for land transfers. You'll leave genuinely full.
