Easy going tour with comfortable boat. - Very comfortable, relaxing and easy going cruise tour. The crew members served drinks, snacks and fruit one round after another and we felt spoiled. The captain’s comments are very informative.The weather is perfect with soft breeze and not so shiny sunshine. We saw dolphins and turtles popping up around the boat. It is really enjoyable and worth your time if you happen to have that half day.

A very easy going cruise tour at Roebuck Bay - I absolutely recommend this tour. It turns out the captain is very knowledgeable about the local marine environment. We spotted snub fin dolphins and turtles popping up around. The crews served the drinks, canapés and fruit one round after another. We didn’t tread the water but some of the guests had a net swimming and seemed get some fun. When the driver of the pickup bus who is also the wife of the captain, knows we need to hurry to get to the next tour, she is very helpful.

Great afternoon out - We did the sunset tour and even though it was not promised we saw several snubfin dolphins and also turtles. The sunset was just beautiful and the staff were all friendly and knowledgeable giving us interesting facts about the dolphins and turtles. They accommodated our special needs with grace and we had a fantastic experience. I’d recommend them

INSANE! A must-do. So special - I’ve just had the most incredible morning!! This is a Broome must-do for sure!!! Glassy waters, a rich (and considered) eco-system in Roebuck Bay full of turtles, sea snakes, dugongs and LOTS of snubfin and bottle nose dolphins. You never know with these things whether you’ll see anything… well we saw everything and Skipper Cam is to thank for this! Cam was stupidly knowledgeable and knew exactly where each species thrived, how they behaved throughout the day and provided the best experience for us as a consequence. I’m terrible with listening to facts and history normally but he had my full attention throughout! The bay really is unique and it was so special to have seen the snubfin dolphins playing around. The crew were all so attentive with scones, tea/drinks and wraps for lunch too! Thank you Val, Mac, Layla and Kaya! I hadn’t expected all of that for the price, so well done Broome Whale Watching! I can’t wait to come back in the whale season!

Lovely morning in Broome - Amazing morning tour and excellent value for money! We saw bottlenose and snubfin dolphins, turtles and even a dugong. Crew were super friendly, and there were even snacks and a small lunch included in the price which we weren’t expecting! Definitely worth doing if you are in the area
