Broome is known as the “Humpback Highway” for good reason, with an estimated 35,000 humpback whales passing through its waters each year during their annual migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to witness these magnificent creatures up close is by joining a whale-watching tour, with the season typically running from July to September. Some tours include a sunset cruise, where after an afternoon of marvelling at the gentle giants, you can enjoy Broome\u2019s iconic sunset as you cruise back to shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tours include complimentary pick-up from RAC Cable Beach Holiday Park. Be sure to bring sunscreen, a hat, a jumper for cooler breezes, and, of course, your camera to capture the memorable adventure on the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broome is also one of the few places in the world where you can see the elusive Australian snubfin dolphin. These unique creatures, with their rounded noses, are often spotted alongside their more familiar cousins, the bottlenose dolphins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Broome dolphin cruise offers the opportunity to see both species, as well as other marine life such as manta rays and turtles in the aquamarine-hued waters of Roebuck Bay. With in-depth commentary from knowledgeable crew members, these tours are an incredible way to learn more about Broome\u2019s rich biodiversity and marine ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
