Trip can be subject to weather at certain seasons so be flexible. We still had a great trip though and Georgia Molly and Elize were great hosts .

The cruise was very well organised and great care and attention was given by Chris and the wonderful girls to ensure you got on and off the boat safely. The experience was well worth it

Great afternoon of cruising. Lovely food served and even lovelier sunset.
The only wildlife spotted was a sea turtle and some bird life but it was still a nice trip
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you Neri, we are pleased you still enjoyed your time on the water with us. We share in the frustration too when we don't find all the animals we like, but we understand nature runs on her own schedule sometimes. Thank you coming on board with us, we hope you had a magical time in Broome. Take care :) Alex

Relaxing time sailing around the Roebuck bay. We found a logger head turtle, dugong, and dolphins We rode in the boom net and enjoyed some yummy finger food. The trip was great and the staff were all lovely.
Response from Host, May 2023
Thank you, Lois_C. Our canapes are a highlight of many guests' experience as they are freshly made and so delicious! Seems as though you got a good look at a variety of Roebuck Bay's wildlife. Dugong's can be hard to get a good look at sometimes so I'm glad you got to enjoy a special experience seeing one in the bay.
Safe travels,
Maddi

We had a fantastic time on the Sunset cruise, awesome staff so friendly and helpful, great company with the other cruisers and so much fun on the boom net! We are in our 60’s and had a ball. Canapés, drinks (BYO or can buy onboard) A must do in Broome.

We're delighted that you had a fantastic time Julie. It's the friendly atmosphere that all of you amazing guests create on board which makes the cruise as enjoyable for us as it is for you, so thank you! We'd love to see you join us again in the future.

The Skipper and Crew were five star! ... relaxed, knowledgeable, spot on service with nothing a worry. The boom netting was lots of fun, the nibbles and drinks perfect for the occasion, Dugong and Snubfin dolphins graced us by unexpectedly popping up and then a beautiful sunset in Roebuck bay to end our time!

From pickup to drop off at Seashells the Sunset cruise was everything we had expected. Initially the transfer from beach to our vessel was first class and once on board Skipper John and the crew looked after everything from drinks to snacks with friendly and efficient service.
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Wow Terrence - what a great feedback! We love hearing about our guest's positive experiences onboard - it makes our day. We are so pleased to hear John and crew looked after you onboard so you could enjoy the beauty of Broome by water. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and we hope to see you again!
Cheers, Taryn
Anne_B, Oct 2022
There was Nothing particular to see.
The Nibbles that were provided were tasty and served by competent and pleasant girls.
Staff were very helpful and nice.
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Thank you Anne_B for your feedback. We are pleased to know the service on board was appreciated. Our staff do such a lovely job of looking after guests. Our chef also creates some yummy nibbles that suit all. Due to conditions at this time of year, we are unable to offer our Cable Beach Sunset Cruises and are therefore based in Roebuck Bay. It seems that the morning Snubfin Dolphin Cruise may have been a more suitable experience for you. The morning cruise is focused on searching for wildlife and learning all about Roebuck Bay's ecosystem. Our sunset cruises are mainly designed for those who are keen to chill on board, take a swim in the boom net and enjoy some tasty treats, as they end their day in Broome. At times, we may even spot some wildlife. We always appreciate the time guests take to provide feedback. If there is anything specific you feel we could improve on, please email us to admin@broomewhalewatching.com.au. Many thanks for joining us on board. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Broome.
Happy travels,
Val

Excellent afternoon for family, friends or couples. My 4 year olds even enjoyed swimming in the boom net. Staff were amazing and really attentive to anything we needed. The boat is well maintained, fresh and clean.
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Many thanks Sophie B for your lovely review. We are so glad to hear you had an excellent time onboard. Our staff work very hard to make sure you have a relaxing and enjoyable time out on the water. We really appreciate your lovely feedback and we hope to see you again soon!
Cheers, Taryn

We enjoyed every minute of this cruise. The company communicated well prior, picked up at our hotel, driven to the cruise pick up. Everything was well organised, The M gang (Mel, Matt and Meg) were great hosts and the cruise was so relaxing and welcoming. Can't wait to do it again some time.
Great to bring on your own drinks and the canapes were great.
Highly recommend this trip.

What a great start to our season in Broome! First cruise, great guests and beautiful weather. Thank you Carli for coming on board for a morning explore of Roebuck Bay. Every day is very different in the bay and no wildlife encounter is the same. We can't wait to welcome you back on board some day. We really appreciate your recommendation. Thank you a million.

Jenine_H, Nov 2021
Unfortunately we weren’t able to swim during the cruise. It would have been nice to know that in advance other than on the day. I would have postponed it and gone another time. Staff and skipper were amazing, very friendly and went out of their way for you.
Response from Host, Nov 2021
Thank you for taking the time to cruise Roebuck Bay with our team Jenine_H. We are so pleased to know our staff did a great job of looking after you on board. They have worked tirelessly all season to deliver friendly and accommodating customer service. Thank you for your feedback regarding the swimming option on this cruise and are sorry to hear you felt disappointed. We do our very best to ensure all third-party booking companies pass on all relevant information regarding the details of our cruises to their customers. As you booked through a third-party agency, we apologise on their behalf for any information not passed on to you. Our website has all that you need to know regarding the times of the year when swimming is available on our cruises. We also include a link to the booking details attached in a text message that is sent prior to your departure to ensure our guests know what to expect of their time onboard. Swimming is subject to suitable conditions, including weather and stingers. Unfortunately during the months of November to early April we are unable to safely offer swimming in the boom net as box jellyfish can be problematic in our Broome waters.The date for which swimming becomes unavailable in November always depends on the first sighting of box jellyfish for the year. Safety of our guests is a priority and whilst we also love to offer the swimming component to the experience, especially in the warmer parts of the year, we do not feel it is the safest activity. Once again, a sincere apology you felt disappointed on the day. Had we been aware that swimming was an important reason for booking this experience, we would have happily discussed other options with you. We are always more than happy to talk to our guests over the phone, especially when they have made their booking through an external agency to address the specifics of our cruises. Thank you for taking the time to review your experience. Our team were pleased you enjoyed their attentive service on the day. Travel safe and we hope to see you next time you visit Broome.
Kind regards,
Val
Marissa_T, Nov 2021
Was a nice cruise with good staff just would have been good if they interacted with you more. A commentary of where we were going and what we could see would have made it better!
Response from Host, Nov 2021
Thank you Marissa_T for spending time on board with our crew and thank you for your feedback. We provide an in-depth commentary on our morning wildlife cruises where the goal is to search for animals and learn all about the beautiful ecosystem of Roebuck Bay. Our afternoon cruises aim to help guests relax and enjoy both the scenery and chilled atmosphere onboard. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with us we will take your feedback on board. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Broome and really appreciate you spending time with us.
Kind regards, Val

Everything was perfect, from being picked up at our hotel to bringing us back. The crew was so friendly and professional. Loved the swim on the net.. best experience ever!
David_D, Nov 2021
This trip was very enjoyable in a very suitable boat with excellent assistance provided by the very skilled and pleasant crew, including bus driver. Also the commentary provided by the skipper really complimented the cruise and greatly increased our knowledge of the maritime area.
The swim in the net being towed behind the boat was a very enjoyable and memorable part of the trip.
