Adventure brief

1 night 2 day camp catch and cook

Drive along Kimberley’s vibrant Pindar cliffs, fish using traditional techniques, and prepare your own catch while learning from the Jabirr Jabirr culture. This unique 1 night 2 day adventure blends nature with Indigenous heritage.

Set against the raw beauty of Western Australia’s Kimberley coast, the 1 night 2 day camp catch and cook trip by Bunda Bunda NJ Tours offers more than just an adventure—it’s a hands-on cultural journey. Departing from Broome, this intimate 4x4-guided expedition takes travelers along the striking red Pindar Cliffs, where rugged escarpments meet the shimmering turquoise expanse of the Indian Ocean. Between July and September, the horizon may reveal humpback whales migrating offshore, a spectacular seasonal bonus.

Travelers delve into traditional fishing techniques at secluded resting pools, targeting prized species like Mangrove Jack and Barramundi, using hand lines inspired by the methods of the Jabirr Jabirr people. At low tide, the mangrove ecosystems unfold their complex habitat, sheltering diverse marine life and sustaining the Indigenous hunter-gatherer lifestyle from centuries past. The day culminates at a sheltered campsite near Carnot Bay Beach, complete with practical amenities including a bowshed, open fire pit, and seating.

Here, guests cook the day’s catch over an open flame and share stories that weave together a living history of the Jabirr Jabirr mob’s deep connection to saltwater country. The magic of this experience lies in its blend of natural splendor, cultural preservation, and outdoor skill-building. Bunda Bunda NJ Tours stands out by grounding its journey in Indigenous knowledge and stewardship, offering visitors an authentic perspective not just on the landscape, but on the people who have managed it sustainably for generations.

With a focus on small groups, safety, and environmental respect, this trip provides both an active and thoughtful way to engage with one of Australia’s most stunning and significant coastal regions.
