Description

Cruise across the flooded fault line marking the ancient Kimberley Rock and see the Buccaneer Archipelago from an amphibious sea vessel. Your tour departs from Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm aboard a 12-seater rib powered by twin 250-horsepower engines, designed to navigate local tides.

The main highlight is a reef emerging with a cascading waterfall during outgoing tides. The tour also includes cruising through the pearl farm, along Joligo Beach, and to One Arm Point.
