Boat Tours
Please note the various boat tours from Denham and Monkey Mia depart from jetties. Depending on weather and tide levels, the ease to embark and disembark from the jetty onto the boat can differ each day. There is no jetty located at Dirk Hartog Island, if you are travelling via boat with one of our local tour operators, you will be required to disembark from a larger boat onto a small tender boat, then onto the sand.
