Overview
Raft Point rises above the Doubtful Bay region of the Kimberley coast, a remote wilderness of tidal currents, mangrove channels, and sculpted sandstone. Known for its Wandjina rock art galleries, the site blends Indigenous cultural significance with dramatic coastal scenery. Cruise visitors approach by tender, landing at a small beach before ascending to panoramic viewpoints and sacred rock shelters.
Light moves beautifully across Raft Point: mornings brighten the cliffs in cool silver, afternoons warm the red stone, and evenings settle into soft gold across the archipelago. Raft Point is a destination where ancient stories, rugged geology, and gentle Kimberley movement come together effortlessly.
Ancient Indigenous artworks depicting Wandjina spirits, preserved in cliffside shelters.
Tip: Visit early to avoid heat and see the art in soft, even light.
A sweeping viewpoint across islands, tidal flats, and red‑rock headlands.
