A must do tour. - We anticipated that this would be an interesting tour but it surpassed our expectations. Everything was professionally done - the acknowledgement of our booking, the reminder sms 2 days before , pick up on time with the lovely Erica. On arrival at their headquarters we were greeted the amazing views over Roebuck Bay. Our guide Bec explained the procedure for the tour. Myles our boat driver was friendly and an excellent driver but his knowledge of the dinosaurs was exceptional. We learned so much from him. Both Myles and Bec are passionate about their work and have great knowledge of the area. We enjoyed hearing about the wildlife of the bay. We were treated to a delicious antipasto platter with a glass of sparkling wine or juice. This enabled us to interact with the other passengers and our hosts. On arrival back at headquarters there was time to relax before being transported back to our accommodation. I would highly recommend this tour.

Broome dinos - Rebecca and Myles were so passionate and informative about their subjects relating to the tour, the venue at the beginning and end was a lovely bonus, the boat even had a toilet, the food and drinks were very nice and of course, being able to stand where a dinosaur stood 130million years ago is amazing!🦕 We also were very happy to see multiple turtles and stingrays. The indigenous culture is respected and information is shared. Rebecca, Myles and Erica have very upbeat personalities and made the day that bit more special.

Informative, relaxed boat trip - Our pick up was on schedule and Erica, the driver, was friendly and welcoming. The location was spectacular and the hosts, Mel and Myles were enthusiastic and informative. We learnt a lot about Roebuck Bay and its history and diversity. The refreshments were plentiful and fresh, and it provided a nice opportunity to mingle with others on the trip. We chose to end the day with a cocktail and beer on the deck, overlooking the bay, which was lovely.

As different experience - It was a good all round experience, the day we went was windy so the boat ride across was quite the experience. Great gourmet platters while cruising Dampier Creek thanks to Beck & Myles

The ride and the view were great, but rock history? - The boat ride was fun, including the spray. It was great to see the dolphin, flying fish and birds, as well as the obvious change in tides displayed by the colour on the mangroves. The history of recent changes in buildings, jetty and WWII bombing of Broome was informative. However, I was seriously underwhelmed by the so-called dinosaur footprints in sandstone, which contrasted markedly with decent fossils I have seen in the Flinders Ranges in SA. Keep in mind that the footprints we made in the sand were eroded by the first weak wave of water that washed over them, so how could these circular depressions (called 'footprints') have survived eons of time? I would suggest that the guide's enthusiasm should be moderated and responsibility for the story line be laid at the feet of the geologists telling the story.
