DAMPIER PENINSULA GUIDED TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Tag Along, Fish, and Cook with the Jabirr Jabirr on the Dampier Peninsula
An 8-hour, 4x4 tag-along with Bunda Bunda NJ Tours that combines a coastal drive along Pindar cliffs, traditional fishing at mangrove pools, and a catch-and-cook lunch while hearing Jabirr Jabirr country stories.
Tag Along, Fish, and Cook with the Jabirr Jabirr on the Dampier Peninsula.
This morning tag-along runs from the Cape Levesque turn-off along a mixture of sealed and unsealed roads, tracing vivid red Pindar cliffs above the turquoise Indian Ocean before dropping into mangrove-lined creeks where guests fish using traditional methods and explore saltwater country; the day finishes at a sheltered campsite where the day's catch is cooked over an open fire as Jaden and his team share stories of the Jabirr Jabirr mob.

Pindar Cliffs and Coastal Drive
The route takes you along vibrant red Pindar cliffs overlooking turquoise seas, a landscape that brightens in early morning light and—between July and September—may reveal migrating humpbacks offshore.
Traditional Fishing at Resting Pools
At low tide the group fishes in mangrove pools using traditional methods to target species such as Mangrove Jack and Barramundi while hosts relate how Traditional Owners lived and hunted on saltwater country.
Catch-and-Cook at a Sheltered Campsite
The tour ends at a camp area with a bowshed and open fire pit where the day's catch is cooked; guests share sandwiches and cold drinks while listening to on‑country stories and cultural explanation.
