Embark on a truly extraordinary half-day adventure and snorkel among the world’s oldest living organisms in the remarkable waters of Hamelin Pool Marine Reserve. Departing from Carnarvon or Denham, your journey begins with a scenic helicopter flight over the breathtaking landscapes of the UNESCO World Heritage listed Shark Bay Marine Park. From the sky, you will witness sweeping coastal views, crystal-clear waters, and remote shoreline that highlight the untouched beauty of this globally significant region. This exclusive experience is the first of its kind in Australia, offering a rare opportunity to access one of the planet’s most ancient natural wonders.

With opportunities to walk, explore, swim, snorkel, or enjoy stand-up paddleboarding, this adventure combines scientific wonder with natural beauty.

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 !

Better examples of the oldest organisms on earth exist elsewhere in WA. You can’t even see them without breaking rules. Try Cervantes or Lake Clifton, at least you can get close.

Nothing to see except billboards explaining what you could possibly see if they ever decide to repair the walkway that's been broken for 5 years. How hard can it be to repair the only walkway of a world heritage site ??
