DESCRIPTION
The Dampier Peninsula is a delight for travellers seeking a real Kimberley experience that is culturally rewarding in a spectacular environment. Journey north from Broome to learn about the fascinating history of this place while enjoying a morning tea in the Beagle Bay Aboriginal Community. Tour the Sacred Heart Church to see its glimmering pearl shell altar and the ‘Mother of Pearl’ church, inspired by German architecture.
Next, it’s time to travel to Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm, a working pearl farm open to the public. Enjoy an introduction to the history and cultivation of the world’s finest pearls on an in-depth tour of the farm plus a delightful lunch prepared by the chef at the Cygnet Bay restaurant overlooking King Sound. In the afternoon, take a dip at Jologo beach where you may even spot dolphins and visit the Ardyaloon Trochus Hatchery & Aquaculture Centre to witness the huge tidal flows of the Kimberley!
