WHAT YOU'LL SEE

A little bit of maritime and pearling history, blended with ocean and landscapes

Historic Chinatown

Broome's famous Chinatown has little to do with China today, but everything to do with the town's remarkable pearling history.

Your guide shares fascinating stories about Japanese pearl divers, Aboriginal history, Malay communities and the pioneers who transformed Broome into one of the world's greatest pearling centres.


Town Beach

Enjoy sweeping views across Roebuck Bay while learning about the aviation history of Broome and the area's wartime significance.

Depending on the time of year, your guide may also point out the famous Staircase to the Moon viewing locations.


Gantheaume Point

One of Broome's most spectacular coastal locations, Gantheaume Point is famous for its striking red pindan cliffs meeting brilliant turquoise waters.

At very low tides, dinosaur footprints preserved in reef rock can sometimes be seen beneath the cliffs.

It's also one of the town's favourite whale watching locations during the migration season.


Cable Beach

No visit to Broome is complete without experiencing Cable Beach.

Stretching for more than 22 kilometres, its white sand and calm Indian Ocean create one of Australia's most iconic coastal landscapes.

As the afternoon draws to a close, you'll settle in to watch nature put on its nightly performance—the famous Cable Beach sunset.

Few sunsets rival the colours seen here as the sky glows orange, pink and deep crimson over the Indian Ocean.
