Discover the Dampier Peninsula

Beagle Bay – Sacred Heart Church

Our first major stop is the Aboriginal community of Beagle Bay, home to the famous Sacred Heart Church.

Inside, you'll discover the extraordinary pearl shell inlay decorating the altar. The craftsmanship, patience, hard work and love that went into creating this beautiful church are quite remarkable.

Photographs simply don't do it justice. You really need to see it for yourself. Whether you're religious or not, this is a very special place and well worth experiencing.

Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm

We'll continue north to Cygnet Bay, one of the highlights of the Dampier Peninsula.

Cygnet Bay is an operating pearl farm and a wonderful place to stop, relax and enjoy the spectacular views overlooking the bay.

There is a magnificent restaurant with air conditioning and a wonderful outlook, serving delicious seafood and other meals, right down to a toasted sandwich if that's what you fancy!

There's also an infinity pool overlooking the water if you'd like to enjoy a swim, time permitting.

We'll have an opportunity to look around the pearl farm and learn about the pearling industry that is such an important part of this region's history.

One Arm Point – Ardyaloon

Next, we'll visit One Arm Point, also known as Ardyaloon, a beautiful Bardi Jawi Aboriginal community.

This is a fantastic place to appreciate the spectacular coastline and experience the enormous tidal movements that make this part of the Kimberley so famous.

The scenery is magnificent, with beautiful beaches and incredible views.

It's also a wonderful opportunity to meet some of the friendly local Bardi Jawi people and learn more about their community and culture.

A Special Aboriginal Cultural Experience

One of the unique opportunities on this tour is the possibility of meeting a very well-known Aboriginal elder and master pearl-shell carver.

He is internationally recognised for his beautiful pearl-shell carvings and is a wonderful character with a great sense of humour.

If arranged in advance, I may be able to organise a personal introduction and an opportunity to meet him. This is subject to his availability and appointment.

It's a very special experience and one that can leave you with lasting memories.

Lombadina – Aboriginal Community

We'll also visit Lombadina, another beautiful Aboriginal community on the Dampier Peninsula.

There's a lovely arts and crafts store where you can see local work and perhaps find something special to take home.

The people are wonderfully welcoming and the beach is magnificent. If time and conditions allow, we'll take a drive along the beach and enjoy a little more of this beautiful coastline.

Your Tour, Your Time

Although there's a lot to see and experience on this eight-hour adventure, I don't operate by a rigid timetable.

If you're enjoying somewhere, we'll stay a little longer. If you've seen enough and would like to move on, that's absolutely fine too.

If we pass something interesting that you'd like a closer look at, I'll happily turn around so you can take photographs, explore or simply stop and smell the roses.

There's no rushing, no watching the clock and no pressure to move on.

It's your tour, your time.

My aim is simple: to make sure you have the best possible experience and take home some wonderful memories of this magnificent part of Australia.

The West Kimberley is an extraordinary place and I'd love to share it with you.
