bardi jawi gaarra MARINE PARK
Declared a National Park with Habitat Protection in 2018, the Marine Park is a hotspot for marine wildlife such as dolphins, whales, turtles and dugong. Encompassing some 74,000 square kilometres, with depths from less than 15 metres to 800 metres, the sea country of the Bardi Jawi and Nyul Nyul peoples extends into Marine Park.
Humpback whales migrate up the Kimberley Coast resting in several bays along the western side of the peninsula from July through to November. Spectacular breaching and whale activity can often be seen close up to the shore. A rich diversity of tropical fish and rays exists on the limestone reefs and the shallow rock pools.

TRAVELLING Through Ardi
When you travel through the Dampier Peninsula you are travelling on Aboriginal lands. The area is almost entirely made up of Native Title Land, while communities and outstations are all on private leases.
On occasion, communities may close for cultural or other reasons, for this reason you should always call ahead to confirm a community is open before visiting.
There is NO FREE CAMPING anywhere on the peninsula.
