Board at Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm and spend ten hours cruising to Talbot Bay, where tender boats take you close to the falls. Meals, snacks and drinks are served on board.
This full day cruise runs out of Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm, along the Cape Leveque Road from Broome, and boards at 07:00 for a ten hour round trip. You make your way to the pearl farm yourself, since hotel pickup is not part of the package. From there the boat heads out along the Dampier Peninsula coastline before spending the bulk of the day on the water.
The shape of the day is simple. Roughly half an hour takes you along the Dampier Peninsula, then the long middle of the day at Talbot Bay and the Horizontal Falls, before the return leg back along the peninsula to the pearl farm. That long stretch at the falls is the main event.
Food is covered in full: breakfast, lunch, snacks, soft drink and alcoholic drinks are all included, along with all fees and taxes. The boat has WiFi, toilets and space for up to 40 travellers. It does not suit wheelchair users, as the listing states the tour is not wheelchair accessible.
A few practical points from the listing worth knowing before booking a ten hour day on the water.
Common issues. The main limitations come straight from the listing. There is no hotel pickup, so you must reach Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm yourself for a 07:00 start. The tour is not wheelchair accessible and carries up to 40 travellers. The stated hours on each leg are approximate rather than fixed, and the whole trip depends on good weather, with poor conditions leading to a rescheduled date or a full refund rather than a guaranteed departure.
The meeting point is Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm, its own site along the Cape Leveque Road from Broome. Hotel pickup is not included, so you need to arrange your own transport. The tour departs at 07:00 and ends back at the same spot.
The full day runs about 10 hours. Most of those hours are spent at Talbot Bay and the Horizontal Falls, with shorter legs along the Dampier Peninsula at either end. The listing notes these times are approximate.
Yes. Breakfast, lunch, snacks, soda and alcoholic beverages are all included, along with all fees and taxes. The minimum age for alcohol on board is 18.
No. All stops on the itinerary, including the Horizontal Falls and Talbot Bay, are listed with free admission, and all fees and taxes are covered in the booking. The only transport cost you pay separately is getting yourself to Cygnet Bay.
The tour is not wheelchair accessible, according to the listing. Service animals are allowed and most travellers can participate. If you have specific mobility concerns, contact the operator before booking.
The experience requires good weather. If it is cancelled due to poor conditions, you are offered a different date or a full refund. Confirmation is received at the time of booking.
