If Broome is the gateway to the Kimberley, then the Dampier Peninsula is the gateway to the Kimberley Coast.
Your adventure continues beyond Broome, with an Ardi experience. Meaning “Northeast” in the ancient Bardi language, your Ardi experience is a journey that begins with the 220km stretch of Cape Leveque Road from Broome. It’s a journey taken by the local people for thousands of years – an experience that connects you with the past, as you begin to unlock the secrets of this ancient place and culture.
Your journey takes you to the Dampier Peninsula, through Pindan bush, open woodland through to beaches, tidal flats and the mangrove creeks of the Indian Ocean and King Sound. Here is a place waiting to be explored: the red earth landscape, the unspoiled beaches – leave the everyday behind and be guided by your sense of adventure.
The road can be closed after heavy rain so be sure to check. As you travel through this pristine area you are asked to respect the land, culture and privacy of the local people. While fuel supplies are available they are limited and only available at certain times. The Dampier Peninsula has four major communities One Arm Point (Ardyloon), Djarindjin, Lombadina and Beagle Bay.
For a unique, immersive experience, take a tour with a local Aboriginal guide to sample bush foods, catch mud crabs, or learn the local craft of spear making. You can also discover the surrounding waters, filled with fish, turtles, dugongs, dolphins, and whales coming home.
