The whole experience from start to finish was awesome. The staff were very friendly and professional, Cameron was very knowledgeable and caring of the wildlife. He took us to see the wildlife but did not disturb them at all. The food was marvellous and the boom net was fun and refreshing. I thoroughly recommend this tour

Naturally seeing wildlife can’t be promised and the offer of a free trip later is appreciated. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was great. However it could do with an ongoing commentary or something to fill the time.
Most amazing experience

This tour was magical! The staff are exceptional, the skipper was so knowledgeable and friendly, the crew were so friendly and helpful, even providing a cool cloth soaked with eucalyptus when I felt seasick. The food provided was lovely, and the boat was very well maintained. We got really lucky and saw lots of wildlife- would highly recommend this tour.
gentle, not fierce！

You can see very special dolphins — yes, the Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins found in Broome are unique! The captain is very friendly, and the crew offered me lots of delicious snacks! I highly recommend that everyone bring swimwear to take a dip in the sea! I may only get to visit Broome a handful of times in my life, but the dolphins, turtles, and the ocean have left me with beautiful memories. The sea in Broome is gentle, not fierce. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves marine animals and enjoys leisurely boat trips!

Highly recommend this tour, the staff were great to deal with, pick ups were prompt and on time, we saw so much wildlife, the snubfunfs, bottle nose, some small sharks, a turtle and plenty of fish! The sunset cruise was well and truly worth it, the views were spectacular and we thought it was great value for money also. 10/10!!
