5.00Had an exceptional cruise and would recommend this to anyone. So well organized with attentive and professional staff. Captain was outstanding. Just perfect to experience the amazing coastline colours, dolphins and turtles. Bit early for the whales though. We BYO’d wine and the staff served for us. The catering was just delicious…middle eastern flavours and cheese platter at the end. This was top class. I was surprised how good this was! Definitely value for money. Super special end to wonderful Broome holiday.

4.00Was disappointed the snubfin dolphins didn't stay on the surface longer but understand they were feeding. Saw a hammerhead shark though chasing prey on the surface. Also saw lots of flatback turtles though. Was a really great trip with lots of information. The girls served wonderful snacks and drinks during our time with tea or coffee to start our journey . Really strongly recommend everyone to do this trip for the knowledge and care we all got.
Lovely morning in Roebuck Bay

5.00This cruise was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We had been on a tour with this operator 12 years ago and were so impressed then, that it made the choice of operator for our dolphin experience, easy this time. From the minute you book, communication was clear and quick. The tour is great value for money. The transfer onto the boat is seamless in the “sealegs” tender - an inflatable boat that can drive onto shore to pick you up, so you don't get wet at either end! The staff were helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. The boat for the cruise is comfortable and luxurious and such a treat to spend time on. We saw lots of marine life, including the snubfin dolphins, large and small turtles, fish and many seabirds. The commentary during the cruise was informative and entertaining. Lastly, the refreshments served were exceptional - hot and cold snacks and a fruit platter handed around at intervals during the morning. Complimentary tea, coffee, juice and softdrinks, were offered as we got on board, and later, drinks were available for purchase from the bar. There was the opportunity to swim in the boom net, which we didn’t do, but which looked like great fun. Overall a memorable and super good value experience while in Broome!

5.00The staff are very knowledgeable about the animals and are conscious to not scare them or overly bother them. There was plenty of animals to see, though often a bit shy. Lots of available shade on the boat in the hot sun, and nice morning tea and drinks offered by very attentive staff. Swimming in the net was very fun too.
