Things to do in Yampi Sound
Wild, remote and rich with stories, Yampi Sound stretches across the northwest fringe of Australia where red escarpments meet calm turquoise seas. The region sits cradled between King Sound and Collier Bay, dotted with the islands of the Buccaneer Archipelago, a maze of rugged sandstone formations, mineral-rich hills and coastline shaped by the wind and the tides. The Umiida people have lived in this area for thousands of years, long before iron ore and silver deposits drew miners to Koolan and Cockatoo Island in the mid-20th century. Today, the sound is a scenic cruising experience where history, geology and wilderness blend into a landscape that feels untouched by time.
