Harbour TourJoin us on a fascinating real-life working harbour tour around the world's largest bulk mineral, multi-million dollar export port. Get a first-hand insight into the history, workings, sheer scale, huge volumes, as well as the lives of the often invisible ordinary seafarers who make it all happen.
Our two-hour tour begins at the Port Hedland Seafarers Centre with an informative background presentation before boarding the Seafarers launch for a lap around this bustling 24/7, all-year-round harbour in amongst the huge bulk carriers, powerful tugs, ore loaders and constant activity, accompanied by an expert guide providing commentary and answering your questions. |
Tower TourThe Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) tower has a grand view of Port Hedland and the harbour operations. This one hour tour will access the Kariyarra Room on the fifth floor of the tower for a 40 minute visit enjoying the views and a background talk on the history and layout of the harbour. There is the chance to see a helicopter transporting marine pilots either landing or taking off and there is sure to be a ship moving in the harbour.
