Amazing trip - Really enjoyed this outing with Erica (our transfers driver) and Bec & Miles who run this tour. Super informative and Miles has so much passion when sharing his dinosaur knowledge. It’s an incredible feeling to see and stand in these ancient footpads as well as see the amazing cliff/rock formations and colors. Loved the hand signals performed by Bec as she guided Miles into the bay where we wandered along with Miles to see the footpads. Had a yummy breakfast and sparkling wine whilst cruising the Dampier river and seeing Broome town from the water. Saw many different bird life amongst the mango trees. Plus the frozen finger lime margarita that l purchased post tour was delicious ( can you share the ingredients?) Absolutely loved this tour and would recommend for adults with or without children.

Amazing day out on Roebuck Bay near Broome. Brings 130 million year old dinosaur footprints to life. - This was the most amazing day out on the sea from Broome. From arrival, the service was very impressive. With delicious coffee and a well stocked bar available from 7.30 in the morning it promised to be a good day. The boat was very comfortable and in immaculate condition. Becky and Myles provided a fascinating, amusing and professional commentary on all aspects of the trip including marine biology, history of the region and dinosaur palaeontology. The lunch and drinks on board were high quality and they went the extra mile to cater separately for my gluten-free requirement. Well done guys!

Walk with Dinosaurs - Very professional and educational. The couple who run the trip are fun energetic and have good understanding of cultural issues. We thought this trip was the best out of 6 different trips we did. We'll done to Mykes and Erica.

A must do tour. - We anticipated that this would be an interesting tour but it surpassed our expectations. Everything was professionally done - the acknowledgement of our booking, the reminder sms 2 days before , pick up on time with the lovely Erica. On arrival at their headquarters we were greeted the amazing views over Roebuck Bay. Our guide Bec explained the procedure for the tour. Myles our boat driver was friendly and an excellent driver but his knowledge of the dinosaurs was exceptional. We learned so much from him. Both Myles and Bec are passionate about their work and have great knowledge of the area. We enjoyed hearing about the wildlife of the bay. We were treated to a delicious antipasto platter with a glass of sparkling wine or juice. This enabled us to interact with the other passengers and our hosts. On arrival back at headquarters there was time to relax before being transported back to our accommodation. I would highly recommend this tour.

Broome dinos - Rebecca and Myles were so passionate and informative about their subjects relating to the tour, the venue at the beginning and end was a lovely bonus, the boat even had a toilet, the food and drinks were very nice and of course, being able to stand where a dinosaur stood 130million years ago is amazing!🦕 We also were very happy to see multiple turtles and stingrays. The indigenous culture is respected and information is shared. Rebecca, Myles and Erica have very upbeat personalities and made the day that bit more special.

The ride and the view were great, but rock history? - The boat ride was fun, including the spray. It was great to see the dolphin, flying fish and birds, as well as the obvious change in tides displayed by the colour on the mangroves. The history of recent changes in buildings, jetty and WWII bombing of Broome was informative. However, I was seriously underwhelmed by the so-called dinosaur footprints in sandstone, which contrasted markedly with decent fossils I have seen in the Flinders Ranges in SA. Keep in mind that the footprints we made in the sand were eroded by the first weak wave of water that washed over them, so how could these circular depressions (called 'footprints') have survived eons of time? I would suggest that the guide's enthusiasm should be moderated and responsibility for the story line be laid at the feet of the geologists telling the story.
