Wow this was definitely my favourite part about Broome! We were able to get up and close with many whales, dolphin pods, turtles and other marine animals, which we loved! The boat was beautiful with so much space too.

An excellent experience and great service. Convenient pick up and drop off, comfortable boat and friendly and efficient staff. Most importantly we saw lots of whales and they wanted to interact with our boat. They went under and around the boat many times. We were very lucky on this day.

Whales on the run
Barbara_M, Jul 2021
Very happy and professional staff, excellent food. Everything was great. Wasn’t happy when I discovered the cost was in US dollars which converted to a lot more Aussie dollars.
Response from Host, Jul 2021
Thank you Barbara M for reviewing your experience with our team. We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your afternoon with our friendly crew. It is great to know you also loved the nibbles served on board. We can appreciate your frustration with the confusion surrounding the cost of the tour. From what we can see, your booking was made through Viator/Tripadvisor. Although only $150 AUS for a half-day experience, when unknowingly researching tours in a foreign value, it can make budgeting difficult when traveling. We have limited control over this platform so it would be great if you could email us further information regarding the pricing listed in US dollars to pass on to Viator/Tripadvisor. This is the first time we have received such information. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Our email address is admin@broomewhalewatching.com.au. Once again, thank you for making time to experience the waters of Broome and for sharing your day with others. Kind regards, Valerie
