Broome Afternoon Town Tour with Beer Tasting and Cable Beach Sunset
Select participants and date
You step out of the climate-controlled van and the air changes—salt and sun and a faint whiff of yeast from a nearby brewery. The town’s low-slung buildings and wide horizon make the afternoon stretch longer; the light sits differently here, flatter and warmer, as if the whole place is leaning toward the ocean. Over six hours this tour stitches together Broome’s human stories and shoreline drama: pearling camps, a century-old open-air picture theatre, a microbrewery, and a sunset that crowds into memory.

Adventure Tips
Sun protection is non-negotiable
Bring a broad-brim hat, SPF 50 sunscreen and sunglasses—Broome’s UV is strong even late in the afternoon.
Stay hydrated
Carry a reusable water bottle; the operator provides light refreshments but water between stops keeps you comfortable.
Wear comfortable walking shoes
The tour is mostly flat pavement and beach sand—closed-toe sandals or sneakers are best for short walks and uneven shoreline.
Mind the tide schedule
If you want to see dinosaur footprints or explore exposed reef, low tide timing matters—ask the guide for best viewing windows.
