Explore the Dampier Archipelago with Clearwater tours, showcasing the world heritage listed region, with over 40 islands and even more stunning bays and spectacular beaches, you will see how magical the Pilbara is while exploring the protected waters onboard a class leading luxury vessel. With an abundance of sea life, its not unusual to see dolphins, turtles, sea birds and huge schools of fish, between June and October the archipelago has a large Whale population, so up close sightings are extremely common (although not guaranteed).
We will stop in a protected bay to take in the views. A delicious lunch is provided and you will have the opportunity to swim and enjoy the warm Dampier waters. Take in the view from the flybridge, enjoy the shade on the back deck or even relax inside the airconditioned saloon.
During the tour you will also get a great overview of one of Australia largest and busiest ports, learn about the processes that contributes to the export of Iron ore, LNG gas and Commercial Salt.
Dampier is one of Australia’s busiest ports, exporting huge quantities of Iron Ore, LNG gas and Salt. In this tour you will have the processing steps explained by some industry experts, all while seeing the massive components of this industry up close from the water. You will get close to the massive export ships, the loading facilities and the busy tugs at work. The activity never slow down in this renowned port and we will explain the steps involved in these critical industries all while you get the best view available.
See the Dampier harbour and archipelago as it transitions from a bright busy harbour, through the golden sunset, then as darkness falls into the mesmerising light show of navigational, port and ship lighting. This sunset tour is about winding down after a busy day, the commentary is reduced – providing you an overview of the region but leaving plenty of space to enjoy some music and a drink as the sky changes colour and the port completely transforms into night operations.
During this trip, you will experience a view of the amazing islands, beaches and rock formations that the Dampier Archipelago is renowned for, while observing the abundant marine and bird life as the sun sets. On the way out of the Harbour, you will get up close to the huge export ships and tugs.
