This was not my first Rodeo with Broome and Around, after doing there 3 in 1 Town Tour and Croc park tour last Aug/Sept I knew this new tour would be an experience to remember and I wasn't disappointed. After a punctual pick up we went to Matso's where we were treated to amazing Japanese cuisine, a Beer tasting paddle and a run down of the history of Australia's most remote brewery. I was amazed at the amount of food we got here was expecting a snack but was well and truly satisfied post the meal. Then it was off to the Gin Distillery for a G&T and information about how the still operates. From here to the Sydney Cove Oyster Bar for a masterclass and tasting of their famous oysters, you have to try the Mojito oyster shooter here too sensational. Then we were treated to a viewing of Willie Creek Pearls show room and some great tips on how to keep your pearls in top condition and the opportunity to try on the merchandise. From here to Zanders Cable Beach where we had the Best table to watch the sunset, with a daquiri in hand. Candy Rod and team you have come up with a ripper tour truly ICONIC! Would highly recommend for the venues and the extraordinary knowledge that you impart on your passengers. Top Notch

We were fortunate enough to win a $50 voucher from SA Tourism and spent it on a Devonshire Tea cruise for two on the Popeye. It was wonderful! I am from Adelaide, and my partner is from out of state. Neither of us had been on the Popeye before, but now I feel so happy to have experienced it. I would definitely recommend to others for any occassion. Great Skipper, with new information and interesting, funny commentary. Also the scones we got on the Tea Cruise were plentiful and delicious!

A very enjoyable 3hrs on board the specially built boat. There were 3 boats out on the day we went and the weather was cold but not too choppy until we went into the Southern Ocean. We saw some spectacular sites and saw the first humpback whale sightings for this season as well as seals and lots of birds. Only thing we missed were dolphins. Took a good beating on the fast trip back to Adventure Bay but Anthony drove with great skill and consideration.
