Most amazing experience - This tour was magical! The staff are exceptional, the skipper was so knowledgeable and friendly, the crew were so friendly and helpful, even providing a cool cloth soaked with eucalyptus when I felt seasick. The food provided was lovely, and the boat was very well maintained. We got really lucky and saw lots of wildlife- would highly recommend this tour.

gentle, not fierce! - You can see very special dolphins — yes, the Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins found in Broome are unique! The captain is very friendly, and the crew offered me lots of delicious snacks! I highly recommend that everyone bring swimwear to take a dip in the sea! I may only get to visit Broome a handful of times in my life, but the dolphins, turtles, and the ocean have left me with beautiful memories. The sea in Broome is gentle, not fierce. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves marine animals and enjoys leisurely boat trips!

So much wildlife! - This was a fantastic experience! Knowledgeable staff and skipper, saw loads of snubfin dolphins, saw and heard the chatter of bottlenose dolphins, saw turtles, flying fish and a hammerhead shark! The food was great and plentiful, and swimming on the boom net was such a highlight! We had a 3 year old and 6 year old with us and they both thoroughly enjoyed and were very entertained the entire time and have been talking about the sightings and the swim on the net for days after!

Wildlife and scenery - highly recommend! - Highly recommend this tour, the staff were great to deal with, pick ups were prompt and on time, we saw so much wildlife, the snubfunfs, bottle nose, some small sharks, a turtle and plenty of fish! The sunset cruise was well and truly worth it, the views were spectacular and we thought it was great value for money also. 10/10!!

Great Marine Life Trip! - Lovely trip to see snubfin dolphins, but we did see some other marine life even though it was a bit choppy on the day. Staff were lovely and the captain informative. Food on board also great and there is a pay bar which wasn't clear from the description but was a welcome bonus. The boat was clean and well equipped and the group was large but not overly so. Great trip, recommended!

Beautiful nature cruise - Fabulous boat tour. Saw heaps of dolphins, migratory birds and turtles amongst the surrounds of the gorgeous harbour water and foreshore. Very comfortable and roomy boat; captains commentary interesting and informative; attentive and friendly staff; and tasty and ample food. Loved the dip in the sea on the tow net. Young grandson also found the trip a hit. All up an enjoyable day on the beautiful Broome waters. Highly recommended

Stunning wildlife experience - Top class wildlife cruise from people who know how to put together a great experience. We already knew the location was stunning but it blew us away how many snubfin dolphin and turtle we encountered. The boat is fabulous and the morning tea generous and delicious. Staff are welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. Terrific morning on the beautiful turquoise waters off the coast of Broome.
