Broome: Dinosaur Footprints Cruise & Beach Tapas with CocktailsYou’ll step into real dinosaur footprints near Broome before cruising through Dampier Creek with sparkling wine and gourmet nibbles. After wildlife spotting in Roebuck Bay, relax over cocktails and a five-course tapas meal right by the water. Expect laughter, local stories, and maybe a bit of chocolate cake on your shirt—it’s that kind of day.
Lunch Cruise Broome: 7-Course Seafood at Horizontal FallsYou start before dawn with a pickup from your Broome hotel, then spend the day on a full-day Kimberley cruise past the Horizontal Falls and the Buccaneer Archipelago. Breakfast and a seven-course seafood lunch are cooked on board, with all drinks included. The return drive lands you back in Broome by late afternoon.Is it for me?Right for travelers staying in Broome who want to see the Horizontal Falls and the Kimberley without arranging their own transport or meals — the early pickup and the two-hour drive back are what make a full day on the water possible without missing the afternoon.
Broome: Dinosaur Footprints Cruise & Sparkling Wine PicnicYou’ll press your hands into ancient dinosaur footprints on a secluded Kimberley beach before cruising Roebuck Bay past red cliffs and tangled mangroves. Spot rare birds with your guide’s help, then share sparkling wine and local platters anchored in silence—just wind, salt air, and laughter over old stories.
Broome Pearl Luggers: 1.5-Hour Pearling History Tour & TastingYou'll spend 90 minutes walking through Broome's pearling heritage on a guided tour of a restored pearl lugger and authentic pearlers store in Chinatown, handling rare artifacts and learning how the industry evolved from hard hat diving to modern techniques. The tour includes a tasting of pearl meat from the Pinctada maxima oyster and runs daily with groups capped at 40 people, making it easy to book without advance notice.Is it for me?Book this if you want to understand Broome's maritime identity in the place where it was actually built — the restored lugger and artifacts make the 150-year story tangible in a way a museum alone cannot, and the 1.5-hour length fits easily into a morning or afternoon without eating your whole day.
Horizontal Falls & Dampier Peninsula: Seaplane, Fast Boat & Pearl FarmYou’ll fly low over wild islands by seaplane, land right on Talbot Bay, speed through Horizontal Falls by fast boat, and share stories with locals over fresh barramundi lunch. Visit Beagle Bay’s pearl-shell church and tour Australia’s oldest pearl farm before flying back to Broome with Kimberley colors still stuck in your head.
Broome Dolphin Sunset Cruise: Snubfin dolphins in Roebuck BayA 3.5-hour guided wildlife cruise in Broome's Roebuck Bay led by a marine biologist in search of Australian Snubfin Dolphins, one of the world's most elusive marine mammals. The vessel has three viewing areas and premium seating; Middle Eastern appetizers and drinks are served throughout. Swimming in the boom net is available September through October. Pickup is included, and the guide speaks English.Is it for me?This is a shared tour with a fixed departure time and a marine biologist leading the search, which is what makes the wildlife insights possible—you're not just watching the sunset, you're learning why Roebuck Bay matters and what you're actually looking at. Book this if you want expert knowledge woven through the day and don't mind sharing the boat with other travelers; if you'd rather have the guide and the boat to yourself, ask the operator about private options.
Broome Cable Beach: Camel Ride Tour with Photos & PearlsYou’ll feel the gentle sway of your own camel along Broome’s Cable Beach, hear stories from your local guide, and snap free photos as the sun drops lower. There’s even a freshwater pearl earring gift waiting at the end. It’s an easygoing way to see Broome from a new angle—and maybe laugh at yourself trying to climb down gracefully.
Broome Sunset Cruise: Catamaran, Boom Net & Drinks IncludedYou’ll board a catamaran right on Cable Beach or Roebuck Bay, sip your welcome drink as you watch for dolphins, try swimming in the boom net if you’re game, and snack on local canapés while the sunset does its thing over Broome’s coastline. It’s not just about photos—it’s that feeling when everyone goes quiet for a second because of what’s in front of them.

Dampier Peninsula Tour with Aboriginal Visits & Pearl FarmYou’ll taste fresh damper at Beagle Bay, explore Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm with a local guide, share stories with Indigenous hosts overlooking Buccaneer Archipelago, and enjoy a chef-prepared lunch.

Broome Scenic Helicopter Flight: Cable Beach & CoastA 30-minute scenic helicopter flight from Broome follows the coastline north along Cable Beach, then inland to Willie Creek pearl farm before returning past Gantheaume Point and the historic lighthouse. The pilot provides live commentary in English, French or German, and pickup and drop-off at your accommodation are included. Maximum of three passengers per flight, with weight restrictions that apply to all bookings.Is it for me?You fly as a passenger with the pilot handling the aircraft, so this suits anyone who wants the full coastal view without the responsibility of flying it themselves. The small group size — maximum three passengers — means you get a window seat and the pilot's attention, unlike larger tour helicopters where you might be squeezed in the middle.
Mitchell Falls Aerial Tour: Horizontal Falls & Cygnet BayThis nine-hour aerial tour from Broome flies over the remote Kimberley wilderness to Mitchell Falls, Horizontal Falls, Montgomery Reef and Cygnet Bay, with stops at Mount Hart station for morning tea and a pearl farm on the Dampier Peninsula for lunch.
