What to do and see in Broome, Western Australia: The Best Tours
The beaches of tropical Broome aren’t just beautiful—they’re historic. The white-sand Cable Beach is named for an undersea telegraph cable that was laid in the late 1800s, connecting Broome to Singapore. A short hop over the dunes is Minyirr Park, and, on the eastern shore, Town Beach is home to a famous natural phenomenon, the Staircase to the Moon. Time-travel to the prehistoric era by heading to Gantheaume Point to check out 130-million-year-old dinosaur footprints.

It was a big decision to spend the money to do this tour, but it was so worth it. It was the highlight of our Broome Holiday. It starts with a fabulous seaplane flight over the coastline from Broome to the Horizontal falls. The sight of the Bucaneer Archipelago Islands is spectacular. Once you arrive at the pontoon you are quickly off in the high speed boat to the horizontal falls, the captain gives you plenty of opportunity to take photos and then you get multiple trips over the falls. The power of the engines and the skill of the driver makes you feel totally safe. Then it was a lovely lunch of fresh grilled barramundi and salads. The scenic boat road to Talbot Bay was beautiful and the rock formations need to be seen up close to believe. We had an absolutely fabulous day and very very impressed by what a fabulous operation it was.

We enjoyed a relaxing and informative morning on Roebuck Bay. From the time we were picked up from our accommodation until we returned all the staff were caring and informative. We saw playful blue nosed dolphins, snub fin dolphins and a hammer head shark. The crew were very knowledgeable and we were aware that they were very respectful of the environment and in particular the marine life. Yummy refreshments were served during the cruise. Some people enjoyed the boom net at the back of the boat on the way back. I wish I had been brave enough.

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
