02Cape Leveque’s red cliffs and turquoise bays are a study in contrasts: raw coastline, ancient Indigenous culture, and a coastline where tides put on a show. This guide explains how to experience it responsibly—by land, by sea, and from the air.
03A wild and vast frontier of tidal mazes, red escarpments, and ancient rock art, the Kimberley rewards careful planning with dramatic boat charters, remote gorges and true outback solitude. This guide shows how to experience it safely and responsibly.
04Stretching roughly 22 kilometres, Cable Beach is Broome’s dramatic ribbon of white sand where sunset camels, pearl-farm tours and helicopter flights reveal a coastline of striking contrasts. This guide covers what to expect, how to plan, and why the best memories here come from paying attention to light and tides.
05From the window of a helicopter the Broome coastline rearranges itself into patterns of sand, reef and pearl farms. Reddell Beach is best seen in motion—first from above to appreciate scale, then on foot for texture and tide—paired perfectly with scenic flights and Willie Creek pearl tours.
06Venture beneath the Kimberley’s limestone escarpment to wade an underground river where cool water, ghost bats and Aboriginal history come together. Tunnel Creek is a compact, unforgettable stop on any West Kimberley itinerary.

10At Gantheaume Point, low tides peel back the ocean to reveal 130‑million‑year‑old dinosaur footprints, ochre cliffs and reef pools full of life. Time your visit with the tides and golden hour for the best experience.
11A tidal phenomenon that feels engineered to thrill: Horizontal Falls compresses the Kimberley’s immense tides into explosive, ride-through currents. Here’s how to experience it with care, whether by jet boat or seaplane.
