What to expect
You'll board the spacious vessel in Broome and head into Roebuck Bay, where a marine biologist leads the search for Snubfin Dolphins across the 3.5-hour outing. Throughout the cruise, snacks and hot drinks are served, and you can order from the licensed bar or enjoy pre-chilled BYO drinks brought by your crew. Multiple viewing decks give you choice of where to watch — front-row vantage points without crowding.
As sunset approaches, the bay lights up and the guide shares insights into local marine life and ecosystems. During March to October, you can also use the boom net to cool off in the water. The experience ends as daylight fades, returning to the departure point with the full Broome sunset behind you.

Good to know
This suits sunset-seekers and wildlife enthusiasts wanting a genuine chance to spot rare dolphins rather than a generic harbour cruise. Marine biology fans will appreciate the expert narration. The boat is accessible for most fitness levels, but note: stairs are involved (not suitable if you can't climb unassisted), and it's not recommended for people with spinal injuries due to water conditions. Infants must sit on an adult's lap. The boom netting (seasonal) works best March–October; outside those months it won't be available. You can bring your own wine, beer or pre-mixed drinks, but not red wine, spirits in bottles, or homemade drinks. Service animals are welcome. Peak season (sunset times and dolphin sightings vary with season).
