Sample Itinerary
Thursday, 17 June D
Our first Girls and Pearls Safari begins – please let us know your flight details. Best flight is possibly QF581 via Perth from Sydney with arrival into Broome airport at 5.50pm. You’ll be picked up by our lovely resort staff and taken to the hotel for check-in and a welcome drink. (if you arrive earlier the resort will also come and get you)
We’ll all meet for cocktails and meet Marilynne Paspaley...all coinciding with our first Broome sunset – magic! Then we’ll move on to a relaxed dinner at the resort’s Brizo Garden Grill.
We will tuck you into bed before it gets too late -remember the 3 hour time difference makes that first day seem very long!
Friday, 18 June B, D
Because of the time difference, you can start the day early if you wish with a stretch class at 0600 led by the staff at the Pinctada Spa...or you can walk on the fabulous long Cable Beach...or sleep in.
Breakfast will be at 0730 this morning because I know you will be excited about our first adventure. Enjoy a European breakfast buffet (including a hot dish) and at 0830, we will head off with our indigenous guide for the special bush tucker walk through beautiful Minyirr Park.
Return to the resort to relax by the pool and prepare to get really pampered – we have an afternoon of spa treatments waiting for us – you will need to select a treatment and a time slot, so let us know as soon as you decide what you want and when you want it. Click to see the menu
During the afternoon we will spend some time acquainting you with the delights of Broome – some of the great scenic areas plus a rundown of some of the shopping in town.
Dinner tonight is a themed dinner being called “Uniquely Broome” at the Selene Brasserie with hosts Marilynne Paspaley and her charming husband, Garry Grbavac.
Saturday 19 June B, L, drinks and snacks thru the afternoon
Start the day with a stretch class or walk or sleep.
European buffet breakfast.
You can book into a spa and beauty session if you like or relax by the pool or walk/shuttle to Cable Beach for those not booked for spa treatments, or shuttle into Chinatown for the morning markets.
Around 1.30 we head off to the Broome Race track for a champagne picnic lunch, a chance to have a bet, meet the locals and enjoy the racing north west style..think red earth and icy champagne....and girls – two up – if you’ve never played then this is your chance.
Back to the resort to kick off our shoes, hang out by the pool and relax.
Shuttle into town if you like on this free evening.
Sunday, 20 June B, snacks at pearl showroom, early evening “supper on the sand” = D
Stretch, walk or sleep then join us for a European breakfast buffet.
Late morning we are doing the pearl things – a private “pearl appreciation session” at the Paspaley Boutique. You’ll get the chance to try the delicate delights of pearl meat (similar to abalone) and choose your pearls for our Gala Dinner – the Cinderella moment of being decked out in much finery!
In the afternoon we step into the picture postcard with a camel ride on Cable Beach .....followed by a glorious “ Supper on the Sand”.
And then as it gets dark, we head to the beautiful old outdoor picture theatre Sun Pictures for a special viewing of Bran Nue Dae, the musical filmed in Broome. Sun Pictures is the oldest continuously operating outdoor movie house in Australia and Marilynne has organised for this great film to be shown tonight especially for us. Its great being able to look up at the stars while you watch a movie!
Monday, 21 June B, D
Start the day with some activity (stretch class) or none...followed by European breakfast buffet
Today is a day to suit your taste -
We will be taking a group of those interested in Aboriginal art to a gallery for a private viewing and talk.
We’ll also go and visit Anastastia’s Pool, the dinosaur footprints and some of other great places if we haven’t made it there already.
If you’re interested in history and would like a more in-depth tour of Broome, Marilynne highly recommends the Broome Town Tour. “It sounds ordinary but the operator is excellent, absolutely knowledgeable about Broome’s history and passionate about the town. One friend extremely well travelled and on arts boards etc said it was one of the best tours she has experienced anywhere in the world. He also won a Gold Medal at the 2009 Western Australia Tourism Awards”.
The spa is yours for a 60 minute facial of your choice...as soon as you book this safari, fill in the spa menu form for the Gorgeous Girls and pick your preferred time.
Tonight is our Cinderella evening – we will all be golden, glowing, relaxed and wearing the world’s best pearls....push the pause button girls – it doesn’t get better than this! We will indulge in a formal Gorgeous Gala Dinner at Selene Brasserie featuring a menu designed by one of my favourite chefs – the legendary Greg Malouf.
