Join Ilona at an online presentationWatching a sunset over the Indian Ocean at Cable Beach is a must-do when you are visiting this part of Western Australia. As the sun sinks into the horizon, marvel at the shades of orange, pink and purple. The transition from day to night is truly a magical show and by camel makes it even more special. Or if you prefer, it is also possible to watch the sunset on a scenic boat trip!
One of Broome's most beautiful natural attractions, Roebuck Bay is bursting with spectacular colours with some of the best marine-rich waters in Australia. Roebuck Bay features an incredible amount of diverse marine and plant life including the Australian snubfin dolphin. It is also Australia's newest marine park, Roebuck Bay Marine Park.
Known by the local Yawuru people as Yawuru Nagulagun, this part of Broome is an important cultural place. It is used for fishing, hunting and gathering sea foods and with important meeting places along the shoreline. Join a cultural tour to learn more about the heritage and way of life.
Roebuck Bay was named after the HMS Roebuck, a ship that was used by explorer William Dampier when the crew visited the bay in 1840. Today, you can admire hundreds of birds, turtles, cheeky dolphins, a horizon of mud flats at low tide and the Stairway to Heaven (during the cooler months).
Uncover one of the world’s most remote places, Cape Leveque. Where golden red-rock cliffs meet the white sand and turquoise ocean, a treasure found in the Kimberleys. Located at the tip of the Dampier Peninsula, go on a 4WD adventure down a red dirt road and discover this Aussie gem.
Rich in Indigenous culture, dating back over 7,000 years. You can visit local Aboriginal communities along the way and learn more about their traditional way of life and custodians. Learn traditional fishing and find out how they sourced bush tucker (food) too!
Located approximately two and a half hours north of Broome, Cape Leveque is renowned for world-class fishing. Mackerel, tuna, cobia and sailfish are all found in these waters. Go snorkelling and admire colourful fish or try your luck at some mud crabbing.
Broome is the gateway to the Kimberleys, a place bursting with fresh swimming holes, outback stations, wide rivers and ancient rock formations. Discover gorges that have eroded over millions of years. One of the world's last wilderness frontiers, The Kimberley is spread across Australia's entire north-western corner.
Visit highlights such as Windjana Gorge National Park, Tunnel Creek National Park, Mitchell Falls, the Bungle Bungles and the King Leopold Ranges. Here, you can also find Boabs, a tree species with a gigantic thick trunk that can live to be more than 2000-years-old. A unique part of this region.
Experience an extraordinary ocean phenomenon that you can only see in the Kimberley. Known by locals as the 'Horries,' the Indigenous people of the area called these waters, Garaanngaddim. Horizontal Falls is located approximately 25 kilometres from Broome in the Buccaneer Archipelago.
Horizontal Falls has some of the highest tides in the world. As the tide drifts back and forth, a huge volume of water is forced through two narrow cliff passages. This creates a unique waterfall effect due to the variation in the ocean level of up to four metres.
You will be picked up from your accommodation in Broome and will fly to the Horizontal Falls in a small seaplane. After landing, board a jet boat for a ride through the middle of this extraordinary water formation. Afterwards, you can take a relaxing boat trip through the bays and waterways of the region. On the way there is the possibility to feed the fish and if you want you can also swim with them.
