Itinerary

  • Day 1

    On the afternoon of embarkation, a courtesy vehicle will collect you from your Broome accommodation and take you to Gantheaume Point for your tender transfer to the awaiting Ocean Dream. Meet your fellow travellers and the crew before a short welcome and safety briefing. Settle in to your floating hotel and enjoy a sunset refreshment on the back deck as Ocean Dream sets sail towards the ultimate water playground destination, the Rowley Shoals Marine Park.

  • Day 2

    After cruising through the night we arrive mid-morning at Clerke Reef ready for our first day of exploring. Head out with your guides to snorkel the stunning crystal-clear waters of the lagoon. Come afternoon, choose to join one of the optional wellness sessions or relax with a book before sitting down for dinner with the group. Finish your day with a gentle stretch class designed to ease you into a good night's sleep.

  • Day 3

    Rise early for your first full day of activities. Join a guided meditation at sunrise or wake a little later and join 45 minutes of vinyasa yoga before indulging in a healthy cooked breakfast. Today we set out for a drift snorkel where we wonder at the dazzling coral gardens, tropical fish, reef sharks, eels and turtles as you glide through one of the natural channels. For those comfortable fishing, spend the afternoon outside the lagoon trolling for the magnificent sailfish and other pelagic species. Finish the day with sunset drinks and canapes on Bedwell Island. In the early hours of the morning we steam to Imperious Reef for tomorrow’s adventures.

  • Day 4

    Start your day with an energy enhancing breathwork class and keep the invigorating feeling alive with a fresh dip off the back deck. After some free time exploring our new surroundings, we sit for lunch and enjoy yesterday's freshly caught fish. Once your lunch has settled, join us for a scenic tender cruise and the chance to see Manta Rays, Dolphins and Humpback Whales. When you return, relax in the onboard spa or get your daily yoga fix with a 60 minute power vinyasa class. After canapés on the bow and a buffet style evening meal, wind down with candle-lit yin yoga on the upper deck and the chance to stargaze into the night.

  • Day 5

    Ease into your morning with an hour of slow flow on the beach. With the option to spend the day relaxing, swimming, snorkelling or fishing and the opportunity for a private reiki energy healing or wellness consultation to balance and guide you through your wellness journey. After a long day of fun in the sun we gather for beach drinks to watch the sun set on another glorious day at our West Australian paradise.

  • Day 6

    As the sun rises, our team offer a goal and intention setting session to motivate you for your return home. After a nourishing breakfast, make the most of your final morning adventuring at the shoals - explore with a paddleboard, relax at the sandy islet or submerge yourself one last time snorkelling one of the best coral reefs on the planet. Enjoy a delicious early lunch with your Captain and Crew and look back at your time on board before we set sail for Broome, arriving in time for an 8:30am disembarkation.

  • Day 7

    Ocean Dream will arrive back in Broome where we say our goodbyes. After a final breakfast, your coach will be waiting to transfer you to your Broome accommodation or the airport.
