Drinks and Snacks... - Drinks and Snacks constantly provided and offered. Very friendly staff. They catered for everyone and loved a good chat. Substantial amount of time looking for sea life.. we saw turtles and dolphins and the odd sea snake. Couldn't recommend enough! Swimming in the net is a must given you have the opportunity!

Spectacular amazing unforgettable experience ☀️ - Wow, just WOW. The captain and crew really looked after us and super knowledgeable. This cruise earns more than 5 stars in my view hehe. From pick up to the boat, the BYO cans, the Boon net, the foodies, our luck at seeing a couple of Snub Fin dolphins, the views, the sunset, to the drop off. We are going to repeat this cruise now every two years (we're here from Melbourne;) as a new tradition. This is hands down one of the best experiences we have done.

Pleasant cruise - A nice way to spend 5 hours. We only saw dolphins at the very end - for the first two hours we saw a sea snake and a few turtles. But the snubfin dolphins finally appeared. Nice staff, good equipment, decent snacks. hanging out on the net at the end was good fun, and very refreshing.

Wonderful start to the day - One of the most enjoyable holiday activites we have done. Everything worked just as it should. Skipper Cam was obviously highly adept at managing his craft and very knowledgeable as to the animals in Roebuck Bay and the Bay itself. Mac was super efficient, gracious and smiling in her work. The dolphins, birds, sharks, sea snake and occasional turtle all put on a show. Thank you for the experience.

A Must-Do when in Broome - I can't say enough good things about this company and the tour. They go out of their way to be accommodating and make sure you have the best experience possible, all the way from picking you up, the tour itself, and taking you back to your accommodation. We were visiting Broome as a cruise port stop on a Sunday. They normally don't offer tours on Sundays, and I asked if it was possible for them to add a tour. The willingly obliged by adding a tour stating if they got at least the minimum needed for a tour, that they'd do it...and they did! Our cruise stop required a local shuttle into town--there were no other options to get off the ship/pier, and the company drove out of their way to go pick us up, even though our ship was literally a couple hundred yards from the beach from which they take off on the tour. The captain did a great job of finding the snubfin dolphins, a shark, a dugong, and other sea life. They served great snacks and beverages. The crew were very attentive and knowledgeable, and were happy to answer questions. We appreciated that there was plenty of covered area in which to sit or stand since it was very hot and humid. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. My husband and I are extremely grateful for everything.
