Guide to Broome

Join a leisurely camel caravan along Cable Beach – one of Broome’s most iconic experiences. A friendly camel’s back offers the perfect vantage point to snap a photo of the tangerine sunsets Broome is famous for. 

Learn all about the industry that built Broome on a guided tour of a working pearl farm. Start in the hatchery then head out on the water to see the shells growing in Willie Creek. End with a visit to the jewellery showroom for the perfect souvenir.

Matso’s Brewery has been concocting unique beers for over 20 years. In the historic Matso’s Store, opposite Roebuck Bay, relax in the courtyard with a ginger beer or tropical-inspired brew such as chilli beer or mango IPA. Stop in for a drink.

Spotting the rare snubfin dolphin is a special experience, and Broome is the best place to see them. Head out on a morning or sunset cruise and you may also find bottlenose dolphins, turtles, dugongs or even a manta ray. 

Join Yawuru man, Bart Pigram, on a walk through the area’s rich mangrove ecosystem. He’ll recount ancient Dreamtime stories and modern tales of life in the Kimberley region as you learn about important plants and animals on this unique tour.

From March to October, when the moon is full, use your imagination to climb the ‘stairs’ reflected in the mudflats of Roebuck Bay. Take it in from Town Beach, where the colourful night market is held, or from the lush lawn of the Mangrove Hotel.

Get a new perspective on Broome’s rusty landscape when you explore it from the water. No experience is necessary on this gentle paddle around the coastline. Encounter turtles, seabirds, and sometimes manta rays and humpback whales.

Adventure to a secluded beach to stand in the perfectly preserved footprints of a dinosaur. Fossilised in rock, the 120-million-year-old prints of several species are here, and your guide will explain who roamed the area in the Cretaceous period.

Only a short drive from Broome, Gantheaume Point provides a stunning place to appreciate the red pindan soils set against the striking turquoise ocean. Stroll the white sands of Cable Beach and see a replica of real dinosaur footprints found nearby.

Off the coast of Broome lies the Rowley Shoals Marine Park, three coral atolls rising from the depths with some of Australia’s best diving, snorkelling and fishing. Join a multi-day trip to experience the staggering marine life of this special place.

Australia’s north is famous for crocodiles, and you can meet them in safety with the experts at Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park. Don’t miss the daily 3pm feeding session to see where their fearsome reputation comes from.
