A little island time never hurt anyone 🏝️
With turquoise waters, wild coastlines and plenty of room to explore,
@dirkhartogisland is one pretty special corner of WA 💙
It has quite the history, too. Back in 1616, Dutch explorer Dirk Hartog landed here, leaving behind a pewter plate at what is now Cape Inscription.
There’s plenty to discover, from the island’s historic shearing shed to a 4WD adventure out to the spectacular Blowholes and Surf Point sanctuary zone 🐢
Getting there is all part of the adventure. Bring your own 4WD and catch the barge across from Steep Point, or jump aboard 100% Wild with Island Life Adventures for a boat transfer from Denham.
There’s still time to squeeze in a little island escape before the season wraps up for another year.
