Dampier is the departure point for day cruises to the Dampier Archipelago, where you can marvel at the beauty of the coral reefs, sponge gardens, and over 650 species of fish. The Archipelago is also home to green, hawksbill, and flatback turtles that nest on its beaches, as well as dugongs, whales, and dolphins that have been spotted in surrounding waters. Visitors can view the archipelago from above with Helispirit and even stopover on one of their scenic flights to have an island picnic.

The best time to visit Deep Gorge and the Dampier Archipelago is during the dry season, which runs from April to October. The weather is mild, and there is less chance of rain during this time. Visitors can also enjoy world-class fishing spots for deep water, reef, or sheltered inlet fishing. Public boat ramps are located at Dampier, Karratha Back Beach, Johns Creek, Point Samson, and Cossack, and boat charters are available from Dampier.

Camping is available on some of the islands of the Dampier Archipelago, but some areas are special conservation zones with no camping. Camping is permitted only up to 100m inland of the high-water mark on beaches zoned for recreation and for up to 5 nights only.
