A little bit about Dirk Hartog Island...

Dirk Hartog Island is one of Australia's most unique and remote eco-tourism holiday destinations.

Located in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area of the West Australian coast, the island's pristine ecosystem is home to some of the most amazing animals and scenery that Australia, and indeed the world, has to offer. The island boasts 3 rare bird species including the black and white wren, ancient fossilized coral reefs, several threatened reptile species, the biggest loggerhead turtle nesting ground in the south east indian basin and access to one eighth of the world's dugong population.

Dirk Hartog Island is Western Australia's largest island and has a unique place within Australia's history, as it is the site of the first recorded European landing on Australian soil, in 1616 by the island's namesake Dutch captain Dirk Hartog.

Dirk Hartog Island Homestead offers guests the opportunity to relax and enjoy the island's isolation and wilderness while taking advantage of the exceptional food and hospitality on offer.  The homestead offers a range of activities and tours to suit all guests and hosts Kieran and Tory, along with their staff, are dedicated to making sure that guests enjoy an individually tailored Dirk Hartog Island holiday, from fishing and 4WDing to snorkeling and lazy drinks on the pristine beaches.

Please take the time to explore our website and learn about this spectacular island, its unique place in Australia's history and its ongoing strive for tourism excellence.
