Thank you everyone, we had stunning weather and it was just beautiful being out on the water which was like glass. Our Skipper Rob was extremely knowledgeable and informative and the girls were fabulous.
The highlight for me was getting to the catamaran via Robs amphibious tender, quite amazing.

Dry feet shuttle to the boat, a rarity in Broome. We had great encounters with the dolphins, lots of spit fishing (a fascinating behavior) and an active group of 5 that we were able to get very close to. A few turtles as well The snacks were quite good, the crew was very attentive and the captain was informative. I nice 3 hours on the water.

Great morning. Fantastic views of Roebuck Bay. Spotted lots of marine life. Crew were really friendly, informative and knowledgeable. We even got to have a go in the boom net which was great fun! The constant flow of nibbles were delicious. This is a must do trip if you’re in Broome and interested in marine life.

Experienced guides, great food.
We saw turtles, dugong, three types of dolphin, lots of fish schools
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience! We are so glad you enjoyed the food and our guides. Spotting turtles, dolphins, and a dugong all in one trip is truly special. We hope to see you out on the water with us again!
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.
Response from Host, May 2026
Wow Anita, what an incredible review! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are so glad you enjoyed everything from the amphibious transfer and our skipper's local knowledge to our freshly prepared food. We truly appreciate your recommendation to anyone visiting Broome and hope to see you again in the future!
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!
Fantastic experience by a quality and knowledgable operator and team
Great interaction with the wildlife and plenty of space on the boat, even on our full tour

We would love to have you on board again!

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!

net

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed the cruise and we also sighted some dolphins during the cruise. The view of sunset from the boat was excellent. The entire cruise was well organized with staff who were warm and welcoming. They were quite accommodating about our dietary restrictions for food and drinks. Our kids loved the whole experience.
