Cygnet Bay Adventure Safari

• Departing Broome, we fly over King Sound, home to Australia's largest tides and amongst the highest in the world. See the Horizontal Waterfalls* from above, described by David Attenborough as the '8th Natural Wonder of the World.'
• Marvel at the beautiful view of the Buccaneer Archipelago, home to 1,000 incredible islands made up of precambrian sandstone over 2 billion years old. Overfly Koolan & Cockatoo Island, home to the world's richest iron ore deposits. 
• Landing at the Ardyaloon (One Arm Point) community, enjoy a quick tour of Jologo Beach and Round Rock.
• Visit the Ardyaloon Trochus Hatchery and Aquaculture Centre for morning tea and a guided tour with an experienced local guide. Enjoy a fascinating, educational tour of the Hatchery which contains a diverse range of fish, coral, and crustacean species whilst learning about the Bardi-Jawi people’s strong connection to their saltwater traditions and get up close and personal with the fish and coral species most prevalent in the area.
• After the Hatchery Tour we jump back aboard your aircraft for a short flight to Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm.
• At Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm, we are transferred to the accommodation/restaurant for a delicious lunch. After lunch and a quick dip in their on-site pool, enjoy a Pearl Farm Appreciation Tour and then check-in to your Safari Tent.
  
• After checkin, experience a true Kimberley sunset at a stunning beach location. Cruise out in an amphibious vessel ‘sea legs’ on your way to a deserted oasis for a swim and then relax in style as you take in ‘champagne hour’ with a bottle of sparkling.
• On return, enjoy a delicious dinner before retiring and relaxing for the night.
• The following morning after breakfast and check out, enjoy a Borrgoron Coast to Creek Tour, discovering Cygnet Bay with a 4th generation pearler and proud Bardi man. Share in the stories as you explore the tidal flats, forage for oysters and learn some of the traditional coastal hunting techniques. This 2 hour walking tour requires a reasonable level of fitness as you cross the rocks at low tide under the beautiful Kimberley sun. Enclosed shoes (reef shoes ideal), water bottle, hat and sunscreen are recommended.
• After the tour, have lunch and then witness a tidal phenomenon that has to be seen to be believed. This ultimate Sea Safari* showcases the unique reefs and tides only found in the Kimberley. Feel the power of the world’s largest tropical tides as you cruise amongst the giant whirlpools and standing tidal waves.
• Experience an abundance of islands which form the Buccaneer Archipelago, combined with the worlds largest tropical tides.
• After the sea safari, we then head back to the airstrip for a scenic flight to see the spectacular bays and beaches of the Dampier Peninsula, Beagle Bay, James Price Point, Willie Creek and Broome's world-famous Cable Beach as we track coastal southbound back to Broome.

*The Horizontal Waterfalls is a natural phenomenon which is tide dependant with variable flow. Whilst we do our very best to arrive at a time of optimum flow, we cannot guarantee the amount or level of water flowing through the Horizontal Waterfalls at any given time. 

*For safety reasons the minimum age for the sea safari tour is 5 years of age. During neap tides, the Giant Tides Sea Safari is replaced by the Kimberley Island Explorer Boat Tour. This neap tide experience traverses the intertidal zones of the beautiful and deserted 'thousand islands' which make up the Buccaneer Archipelago.
