Nice to arrive in Broome and get picked up to go out there not long after arriving - head straight to Cable Beach and board the large cat.
Staff friendly and helpful. Thanks.

Thanks Matt and girls for a pleasant motor cruise along Cable beach. All was good, except we expected to be sailing on the catamaran . Even though we offered to show the crew how to sail, they came up with very poor excuses. Willi was out sailing ! We also suggest that on pick up you check the reception area for your clients and turn your phone on!! After a trying 15 minutes , we got a $38 taxi to the beach! The sunset was as 🥰

Cruise was comfortable and staff were lovely however the ‘canapes’ totalled one party pie, one meatball and one ‘cheeseburger’ spring roll per person. No options for anyone who doesn’t eat red meat. Drinks (as purchased) were plentiful - it became a bit of a booze cruise. We were warned of ankle deep water on transfer, which turned out to be knee to thigh high, depending how tall you are, with lots of sharp and slippery rocks to navigate on the long walk back to shore at low tide.

We just had a great time on this tour. Staff were efficient, friendly, and focused on us having a unique experience out into the bay and along the mangroves. Very relaxed atmosphere, great Bloody Marys (have I had better….hmmmm? Don’t think so), dolphins, sea eagles, plenty of terns, fun crabbing and good eating of said crabs on the journey home. Thanks Jay and Broome Tours!

Jacko, Jay and macie turned it on for us for our mud crabbing adventure. Superb day on the water with jacko and jay getting us to the spots for some muddies and then going back to the catamaran for macie to offer some top shelf service. Couldnt speak highly of this mob

We had such a great time and wholeheartedly recommend this sunset tour if you are looking at it. Great value for money. They pick you up and drop you back at hotel. Staff are absolute gems at what they do and it shows. Decent options at the bar - def recommend the mango and strawberry daiquiris. Bring your bathers and do the boom net. Only thing I regret not doing! Very spacious seating options and you can get around the catamaran very easily. Had some good tunes playing and great atmosphere all around! 10/10!

We spent our last day in Broome aboard the Catamaran Sunset Cruise and it did not disappoint. This is an experience I would highly recommend. The staff were fantasic and happy to help and share local information. We were picked up and dropped off at our caravan park which enabled us to enjoy drinks and cocktails whilst taking in the stunning views of Broome and the sunset. The swim was fantastic, and a perfect way to cool off. The canapes were equally as good. There was plenty of fruit, sandwiches, quiche, and sushi. It really was a perfect afternoon.

Absolutely epic sunset cruise. Awesome crew, beers were on ice. Got a bit of local info and if you wanted to learn more Jonno was super happy to share his knowledge, and was good for a laugh or 2. Rope net in the water out the back topped it off to be able to cool down.
Highly recommended, would 100% do it again and recommend to anyone looking for an awesome afternoon in Broome.

Wow! What an incredible sunset cruise do these lovely boys run. I’ve come aboard Ballena each time I’ve been in Broome and each time has been better than the last! They have a great selection of cocktails, and the best canapés. Would recommend to anyone visiting Broome!

The cruise company blamed the booking system, the tourist board says it happens all the time.
We will now have to chase a refund and our last afternoon in Broome was ruined. They are amateurs with little or no customer service process behind their operation.

An excellent tour enjoyed by all on the 24 April 2024. Enjoyable crew and 11 people on board from the older people to the 3year old child. Nothing was too hard to accommodate all the people. Everyone had a chance to crab by putting their pot in the water and then pulling the pot 15 min later. Some were winners and some were left empty handed. Never mind it was all about enjoying the fun of crabbing and being on the water. No one left disappointed. We enjoyed a feed of crab on our way back to shore. I recommend anyone that would like to experience Mud Crabbing to make a booking sit back and just enjoy the experience. Noelene

If you're seeking an unforgettable experience in Broome, Western Australia, look no further than the Sunset Cruise offered by Broome Tours. I recently had the pleasure of embarking on this cruise, and it exceeded all expectations, offering a perfect blend of relaxation, stunning scenery, and excellent service. From the moment we boarded the vessel, the crew's warm welcome set the tone for the evening.
The highlight, of course, was the sunset itself. Broome is renowned for its breath taking sunsets, and witnessing it from the tranquil waters of the Indian Ocean was truly magical. The sky transformed into a canvas of vibrant oranges, pinks, and purples as the sun dipped below the horizon—a sight that left everyone on board in awe.
What stood out most about the Sunset Cruise with Broome Tours was the impeccable service. The crew members were attentive and friendly, always ready to assist and ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and cared for.
I can wholeheartedly recommend the Sunset Cruise with Broome Tours to anyone visiting this beautiful part of Australia.

Russel and I had a delightful time on the Sunset Cruise. It was made more special by the unexpected appearance of several whales and some dolphins playing very close to our boat. The tasty snacks and opportunity to relax with a cocktail added to the overall enjoyment. I would highly recommend Broome tours as an opportunity to be wowed by the amazing sunsets on Cable Beach

Went on the mud crab tour with the crew today. It was an awesome experience seeing Broome on the cat and venturing out in the tinny through the mangroves searching for crabs. The tour was epic and I would highly recommend this. The cook up with the fresh crabs was also out of this world.

I could not recommend Broome Tours more! The customer service is exceptional. After flight delays which caused us to miss our original pick up and departure times, Hannah went above and beyond to reschedule our pick up and organise a tender to take us to meet the catamaran for our sunset cruise. The entire team is so happy and positive, nothing is a hassle or too hard. The sunset cruise was fantastic and the energy and enthusiasm that Broome Tours brought to it was a huge part of that. Five stars!

Crabbing has been a childhood joy, and compared to the small sand crabs in Lake Entrance, the mud crabs in Western Australia's Bloome are enormous in size and even more succulent. The entire trip starts from Entrence Point, reaches CrabCreek, and then we go in batches to set up nets and catch crabs. Each time we pull the net, we can catch 1-2 large mud crabs. According to Western Australian law, each person can catch up to 20 legally sized crabs, so we released the smaller ones. Additionally, we were fortunate enough to spot some dolphins along the way."
