You’ll visit the well-known treasures of the region including Horizontal Falls and Montgomery Reef, as well as lesser knowns gems Silica Beach and Ruby Falls.

The below itinerary also operates in reverse. Please enquire for that itinerary.

Day 1: Broome, Doubtful Bay

Our courtesy vehicle will pick you up from your Broome accommodation from 7:30am and transfer you to the Broome Airport to prepare for your seaplane flight to Doubtful Bay.

In the afternoon, you’ll head out in the tenders to spend the afternoon exploring Doubtful Bay, with the opportunity for a beach walk and swim at a beautiful beach.

Day 2: Montgomery Reef

On day two, you’ll explore the fascinating spectacle of Montgomery Reef. Witness as 400 square kilometres of coral reef appears to rise out of the water on the falling tide, creating hundreds of cascading waterfalls as the water rushes off the reef. The reef attracts an abundance of marine life including turtles, manta rays, dugongs, dolphins, crabs and fish. The falling tide also exposes a sand bar where guests are encouraged to have a stroll or take a dip, a good distance away from the mainland. Keep a look out for whales! The protected bays of Lalang-garram Marine Park (Camden Sound) are the ideal location for the thousands of humpback whales who arrive between June and September each year to calve and nurse their young.

Day 3: Sale River, Three Ways, Red Cone Creek

Rise early and head out in the tenders to experience the mangrove forests and set our mud crab nets. Take in the sights and sounds of the Sale River as the crew take you on a scenic tender vessel excursion to Ruby Falls for a refreshing swim in a spring fed waterhole.

In the late afternoon, you’ll cruise to our overnight anchorage location near Raft Point where the magnificent scenery makes for an amazing backdrop to watch the sunset. The chef will prepare any freshly caught mud crabs for a sensational seafood feast.

Back onboard, enjoy another delicious lunch before you head off in the tenders to explore Dugong Bay. Here, you’ll have another opportunity to flick the lures and hopefully catch a barramundi before heading back to Ocean Dream to prepare for an evening ‘raft up’.

Day 6: Silica Beach, Whirlpool Passage

Silica Beach, a favoured destination located on Hidden Island which forms part of the 800 islands of the Buccaneer Archipelago. Named after the high content of Silica in the sand, the beach is a lovely place to swim and stretch your legs.

Here, you spend the afternoon in the tenders, moving amongst the whirlpools that form from the tidal peaks and flows as you try your luck at catching an assortment of fish species to be enjoyed for an evening meal.

Unlike most of the northern coastline, Warrabii features a predominantly flat, rocky shoreline with minimal vegetation and has several sandy beaches.
