Your vessel cuts south through the Murchison River mouth, bringing you within metres of Jacques Point, Red Bluff, Mushroom Rock, Rainbow Valley, Pot Alley and Eagle Gorge. The 50-foot Reefwalker, skippered by crew steeped in local waters, offers unobstructed sightlines from every deck angle. Bring your own drinks and snacks to make an evening of it.

What to expect

You'll board at Kalbarri Maritime Facility and motor south into open water through the river mouth, where the captain plots a course past seven named rock formations. Each stop lasts long enough to absorb the geology and snap shots as the light shifts across ochre and crimson stone. The boat holds station in calm water; there's no hiking or landing involved. Bring a jumper—wind picks up once you're offshore, and the ocean-facing deck can cool quickly after sunset. Most passengers cluster along the rails, so arrive early if you want prime positioning.
