Staff and trip was awesome. Food on Board was great and they were very good at making sure people with specific dietary needs were well catered for. We managed to see lots of Snub nosed dolphins and Sea turtles as well as plenty of Bird life. I would highly recommend doing this Tour!

This tour was sensational. From the time we were picked up to our hotel, we could see this was going to be a well organised tour.
The transfer to the boat via an amphibious vessel was excellent and the skipper an exceptional guide with encylopaedic knowledge of not only the dolphins but of other marine life and their habits but also on the region itself. His consideration of the animals was also a credit to him and the operation. A must do tour when visiting Broome. Oh - and the food served was unbelievable. We thought we’d be receiving a biscuit with a cup of tea, but we’re served freshly baked scones with jam and cream, hot homemade quiches and samosas, ham and salad wraps and fresh fruit. Unbelievable.

From the moment we met the crew it was clear we were in good hands. Instructive and safe tendering out the cruiser, followed by informative briefing before getting into the fun bit, getting out in the glorious turquoise waters of Roebuck Bay.
Cameron gave us a fantastic commentary about the ecology of the area, the wide variety of species the bay is home to and their importance to the ecosystem while we travelled to spots where the snub nosed dolphins could be hanging out. We soon found a couple of pods and drifted along with them, watching them go about their daily business, socialising and playing, it was a real treat.
Also on board was Georgia and Payton and between them, they kept us fed and watered while providing further valuable knowledge on the species that we encountered. Which turned out to be flat back turtles, dugongs and the occasional inquisitive bottle nose dolphin.
The nature spotting was punctuated with the opportunity to get in to warm blue water of the bay atop of the net that was trailed off the back of the boat. If you've never tried it, you be surprised by how much fun it is!
All in all it was a fantastic way to spend a morning, and incredible value for money.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We truly appreciate you taking the time to share such a detailed account of your morning with us. Our goal is always to combine adventure with education, so it’s wonderful to hear that Cameron’s commentary on the local ecosystem resonated with you.
We are lucky to call these turquoise waters home, and spotting flatback turtles and snubfins alongside guests like yourself is why we love what we do. Thank you for your recommendation, and we look forward to welcoming you back to the bay in the future!

Lovely trip to see snubfin dolphins, but we did see some other marine life even though it was a bit choppy on the day. Staff were lovely and the captain informative. Food on board also great and there is a pay bar which wasn't clear from the description but was a welcome bonus. The boat was clean and well equipped and the group was large but not overly so. Great trip, recommended!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for sharing! We're thrilled you enjoyed the Snubfin dolphin and other marine life. Glad to hear the crew and captain made your trip enjoyable, and that you liked the food and onboard facilities. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you back on the water soon!

Our skipper gave us every opportunity to have the best experience to view and photograph all the wildlife listed and nature threw in a few others. Absolutely perfect day on the water topped off by a swim in the
net
Response from Host, Aug 2025

Everything ran smoothly - the pickup from my Airbnb was exactly when arrange. Although I have some mobility issues (use a stick) getting on and off the boat and the small tender that brought us from the beach was easy.
We saw dolphins, turtles, dugongs and sea snakes - the commentary was excellent, staff helpful and delightful and the food was delicious nibbles just right for a morning excursion.
This was a great experience.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Hi Debbie, I am so glad to hear that we provided such a comfortable experience for you on our eco tour. It's also great to hear that not only did the animals perform, but also the staff and our food!

We had a wonderful day! Staff were amazing- friendly professional and informative. The boat was clean and the food delicious. We saw Snub fins, rays and a dugong but it wouldn’t have mattered if we didn’t see any sea critters, it would have still been a fantastic day. The swim off the back of the boat was a highlight. Than you captain and crew. Xx
