Glide across Roebuck Bay as a marine biologist points out snubfin dolphins, turtles and tidal flats while the sun sinks behind Gantheaume Point. This three-hour eco-cruise blends wildlife viewing with coastal history and easygoing comfort.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The boat slips away from Broome’s shoreline as late afternoon light softens the red coastal rocks of Gantheaume Point. Salt air pulls at your jacket and the bay’s broad tidal flats seem to breathe — the water retreats and returns with a slow, deliberate pulse that shapes every inlet and sandbank. On clear evenings the fleet moves quietly along Reddell Beach toward Entrance Point, where the sky and sea trade colors until the sun drops.

This foreshore lies on Yawuru traditional land and later became central to Broome’s pearling industry, leaving behind jetties and settlement sites visible from the water.
Conservation
Roebuck Bay’s intertidal zones are ecologically sensitive; keep distance from wildlife, avoid littering, and follow guide instructions to limit disturbance.
Reserve your spot on the Roebuck Bay Sunset & Snubfin Dolphin Cruise today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Bring layered sun protection
Strong tropical sun and reflective water mean broad-spectrum sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and UV sunglasses are essential even at sunset.
Carry motion-sickness prevention
If you’re sensitive to movement, take an antiemetic before boarding — the bay is mostly calm but can be choppy with wind.
Use binoculars for bird and dolphin spotting
A compact pair with 8–10x magnification helps pick out snubfin dolphins and migratory shorebirds on distant mudflats.
Stay quiet during wildlife encounters
Lower voices and minimal movement increase your chances of prolonged dolphin sightings and minimal disturbance to shorebirds.
Sunscreen (SPF 30+)
Protects against intense sun reflected off the water.
