About this tour
Explore 120-million-year-old dinosaur footprints and pristine Kimberley waterways aboard a shallow-draft vessel designed for these remote reaches. This five-hour cruise threads through Dampier Creek's mangrove passages and Roebuck Bay, stopping at secluded beaches framed by rust-red cliffs. Sip sparkling wine and tuck into gourmet platters while scanning for sea eagles, dolphins, manta rays and the countless waders that inhabit this corner of Western Australia.

What to expect
You'll board a shallow-draft boat designed to slip into creeks and bays inaccessible to larger vessels. The five hours unfold as a mix of cruising, beachside exploration, and wildlife watching from the deck. The Kimberley landscape dominates—dramatic red escarpments, mangrove tangles, and glassy bays. Binoculars are useful; birdlife is constant. Most days you'll spot marine life too: dolphins, rays, perhaps a turtle. Mid-tour, platters and wine materialise on deck as you drift the mangrove system. Beaches are pristine and quiet; bring reef shoes for wading.
Good to know
Reef shoes are essential for beach landings and are not included—hire or bring your own. Moderate fitness is needed for boat access and beach exploration. The vessel is air-conditioned. Service animals welcome. Bring sun protection and a camera with a decent zoom.
