One brilliant afternoon. - What an amazing day, we had no great expectations as it was still early in the season but we were very wrong. We had an informative and helpful crew and they found us 4 Humpback whales which we were able to follow for two hours. The 4 males played, splashed, stayed on the surface and came within 20 metres of us. Truly memorable.

Whale Watching experience - My family and I had an amazing time on the whale watching cruise today! The experience was made extra special thanks to the wonderful crew. Mackenzie, Lilla, and Hopi were so friendly and welcoming—they were always chatting with everyone and serving delicious food that really added to the day. Their warm and friendly nature made us feel right at home. A big thank you as well to our driver, Cam. He was very helpful and made sure to take his time at each location so we could fully enjoy the experience without feeling rushed. His relaxed approach really stood out. We had such a memorable day as a family, and it was all thanks to this fantastic team. Highly recommended to any travellers in Broome!

Second to none. - This whale watching experience was my first, and certainly won't be my last with this slick tour operator. They are not only friendly, but also professional and knowledgeable. I booked this tour, along with their snubfin tour, at the Broome market. I was very lucky to board what is usually their private charter boat as their 'normal boat' was all booked out, and what an intimate and astounding experience it was! We spent such a long time in the company of 3 whale bulls, watching them frolic and interact with our boat at such close proximity. The on board food was delicious and plentiful, and they graciously catered to my coeliac diet. And sailing back to land on the calm waters beneath a Cable Beach sunset was so relaxing and not to be missed. This was not on my list of things to do during my visit, but I'm so glad that I did it. It was a highlight of my trip in WA.

A wonderful experience! - Wow what an amazing afternoon, from the moment we were picked up we knew it was going to be a great time on the water. We had a wonderful welcome from Erica who picked us up at our AirBnB and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Great nibbles and drinks! The highlight was the Whales - we were so lucky to see so many mothers and their calves. There was a lot of breeching and tail slapping - it was a very emotional experience for us. Thank you Broome Whale Watching we will be coming back!

Best experience of a lifetime - This was a magical experience. Our captain was amazing. Friendly, informative and did everything to make sure we all had a great time. We saw so many whales, seaturtle and sea snakes. The staff were all fantastic, kept asking if we wanted drinks, kept serving delicious canapes. They were friendly, spoke to us and had a chat. Best staff on a boat I've been on. Don't miss out on doing the tour.

Excellent whale watching cruise - Excellent tour out of Broome. We saw whales within half an hour of boarding the boat. Even the amphibious tender was fun to be on. Captain Cam was an excellent spotter and didn't hesitate to get us to the action. Jopi was very attentive and her and the rest of the team kept us well watered and fed with delicious food. I'm GF and sister in law vego and they catered well for us. I would 100 % recommend this tour to everyone.
