3 Day Cape Leveque Experience

Summary

"Adventure, culture and relaxation with a blend of guided activities and free time to explore independently. The Witchetty Grub is the small white larvae of the ghost moth, which is native to Australia. They are dug out of the trunks and roots of gum trees during summer and although the very thought of eating grubs may be frowned upon by Europeans, witchetty grubs have been an essential part of the Aboriginal diet for centuries."

Itinerary

Day 1: Beagle Bay & Lombadina

The Dampier Peninsula is an extraordinary blend of pristine beaches and dramatic coastlines, rich in traditional Aboriginal culture. Travelling up the red 4WD track, learn about the region's fascinating history from our guided commentary. Our first stop is the Beagle Bay Aboriginal Community, home of the Beagle Bay Church with its glimmering pearl shell altar, for morning tea. Journey on to enjoy lunch in the laid-back Lombadina Community, a beautiful and welcoming community, which is home to an interesting bush timber church. Later we travel to beautiful Cape Leveque to set up camp right on the edge of the Indian Ocean. A warm Kimberley sunset is a great way to end the day before our famous Kimberley BBQ under the stars.

Day 2: Cape Leveque

The day at Cape Leveque is yours to enjoy as you please. You may like to join our guide on a snorkelling adventure (equipment provided), or take up one of the many optional extras on offer including embarking on an indigenous sea kayaking adventure, hiring a dinghy or splurging on a scenic flight across the archipelago and Horizontal Falls (if available). Alternatively you may prefer to spend your time simply enjoying the pristine beaches and rugged red coastline for which Cape Leveque is famous. Whether you like swimming, snorkelling, sunbathing or long walks along the beach, Cape Leveque is a great way to relax away a day. In the afternoon, our Aboriginal guide introduces us to Bardi 'saltwater' country on a leisurely guided bushwalk, providing an indepth insight into indigenous bush tucker, lifestyle and culture.

Whether you like swimming, snorkelling, sunbathing or long walks along the beach, Cape Leveque is a great way to relax away a day.

Day 3: Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm & One Arm Point

Visit the Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm for a delightful breakfast together with a fascinating insight into the iconic pearling business and the opportunity to invest in a pearl direct from one of the world's most exclusive producers. Travel to the One Arm Point Community perched on the tip of the Dampier Peninsula. From here we can view the spectacular Buccaneer Archipelago and witness the huge tidal flows of the Kimberley, the second biggest in the world. We visit the Community's aquaculture hatchery, complete with barramundi, pearl and trochus shell before returning south. Driving back through the dusk, keep an eye out for wildlife, before arriving back in Broome at approximately 6.30pm.
