4.00This was a great trip and would thoroughly recommend it. The staff were great - vert friendly and attentive to the passengers. The boat was a good size and not too crowded and the captain was able to find some whales to see, even though we went out right at the end of the season. He also provided some good commentary as well. There were plenty of alcoholic and soft drinks for the trip (you can also bring your own) and the food provided was really good too.
Great day our

5.00Beautiful half-day tour with a dreamlike sunset. Everything was very well organized, the people on board were super nice, there were delicious bites and a very friendly Service. We have seen many whales, about eight of them, and some have even jumped out of the water! The only small minus: There was no contact in advance, although pickup was booked – we just drove ourselves, which was no problem. Overall absolutely recommended!
A ‘must do’ when in Broome!

5.00This half- day excursion with Broome Whale Watching is simply something you must experience if you happen to be in Broome during the winter months. We had plenty of whale sightings with breaching, tails, a sea snake, yummy nibbles and drinks (BYO alcohol) and, of course, those wonderful sunsets! We couldn’t fault the friendly and personable crew! Would we do it again? You betcha!
Solo whale watching
