Awesome cruise! - We had a fabulous time on our 5hr sunset whale watching tour! The staff were very helpful, and we saw so many whales, as well as sea turtles, dolphins & sea snakes. We also had a go on the boom nets which was great fun and the sunset on the way back was a fitting end to a great cruise. Thanks!

Great cruise, bad booking agent - We had a great day out on the whale watching tour. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We saw lots of whales. A word of warning - DO NOT BOOK THROUGH VIATOR they charge substantially more than booking directly with the operator.

Fabulous whale watching cruise from Broome - Fabulous cruise and we had several whales cavorting around our boat for over an hour. They came really close and were beautiful. The snacks were also yummy and plentiful. The crew were helpful and enthusiastic and it was great to be picked up from and returned to our hotel.

Amazing encounter! - My friend and I joined the whale-watching and our experience with Broome Whale Watching was beyond our expectations! We encountered one whale shortly after leaving the shore, and it accompanied us throughout the trip! It was like we were playing hide and seek with the whale. It swam around our boat and even showed us its belly to us. What a playful whale! The captain and crew were fantastic hosts. We also had fun swimming on the swim net on the way back. We'll definitely try it again when we visit Broome next time! Thank you for this wonderful experience!

The crew were amazing from start to finish. The three girls and the captain are a credit to the company. Would highly recommend. I thought it was great that we could take our own drinks as well . All in all an awesome experience.
