Embark on an unforgettable half-day adventure to Hamelin Pool Marine Reserve, where visitors can snorkel among some of the world's oldest living organisms. Departing from Carnarvon or Denham, the experience begins with a scenic helicopter flight over the spectacular landscapes of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Shark Bay Marine Park, revealing breathtaking coastal views, crystal-clear waters, and remote shorelines.


The aerial journey offers a remarkable perspective of one of Australia's most significant natural regions before landing at the extraordinary Hamelin Pool. This exclusive experience provides rare access to a unique environment that combines stunning scenery with remarkable scientific importance.


At Hamelin Pool, guests explore the habitat of ancient living stromatolites, organisms that have existed for billions of years and offer valuable insight into the Earth's earliest forms of life. Snorkelling and swimming in the pristine waters provide an opportunity to experience this rare marine ecosystem up close while appreciating its global significance.


Beyond snorkelling, visitors can enjoy walking along the shoreline, stand-up paddleboarding, or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings. Blending scenic helicopter travel, outdoor adventure, and the discovery of one of the planet's oldest living ecosystems, this once-in-a-lifetime experience offers an unforgettable journey into Australia's natural history.

I must agree that it's really embarrassing that the signs 'boardwalk coming soon' are still up. It's been almost 5 years, at the least stop pretending it's temporary. Some of us ACTUALLY really want to see the stromatolytes (and not just tick the box), and will make the trip only to make sure it's truly still closed because it seems unbelievable the repairs hasn't been done yet. Also, there's no repairs ongoing, someone just fenced it off and called it a day. I wouldn't expect it to open anytime soon.

If you loved following Robyn Davidson's adventure in 'Tracks', this is a must-see location - being where her journey from Alice Springs to the WA coast came to an end. The stunning turquoise waters and white shell beach make for a stunning view. Added bonus, being able to view stromatolites and read the information about them. There's a short walking track here too. Just don't expect to be able to swim here - there is a fence preventing entry to the water. Head to Shell Beach nearby if you're desperate to get into that turquoise water and can't hold out until Monkey Mia!

Not much as far as the view goes, but witnessing first-hand some of the earliest efforts of nature to colonize earth (and still standing strong after billion of years) is truly impressive !
