The 10 Best Bus Tours in Broome, Western Australia
The beaches of tropical Broome aren’t just beautiful—they’re historic. The white-sand Cable Beach is named for an undersea telegraph cable that was laid in the late 1800s, connecting Broome to Singapore. A short hop over the dunes is Minyirr Park, and, on the eastern shore, Town Beach is home to a famous natural phenomenon, the Staircase to the Moon. Time-travel to the prehistoric era by heading to Gantheaume Point to check out 130-million-year-old dinosaur footprints.

This was not my first Rodeo with Broome and Around, after doing there 3 in 1 Town Tour and Croc park tour last Aug/Sept I knew this new tour would be an experience to remember and I wasn't disappointed. After a punctual pick up we went to Matso's where we were treated to amazing Japanese cuisine, a Beer tasting paddle and a run down of the history of Australia's most remote brewery. I was amazed at the amount of food we got here was expecting a snack but was well and truly satisfied post the meal. Then it was off to the Gin Distillery for a G&T and information about how the still operates. From here to the Sydney Cove Oyster Bar for a masterclass and tasting of their famous oysters, you have to try the Mojito oyster shooter here too sensational. Then we were treated to a viewing of Willie Creek Pearls show room and some great tips on how to keep your pearls in top condition and the opportunity to try on the merchandise. From here to Zanders Cable Beach where we had the Best table to watch the sunset, with a daquiri in hand. Candy Rod and team you have come up with a ripper tour truly ICONIC! Would highly recommend for the venues and the extraordinary knowledge that you impart on your passengers. Top Notch

The talk started in the 1800’s when pearling started in Western Australia and followed the history through to the 1950’s when the diving process changed. It was very interesting and I think it would have been better to go on the Pearl Luggers before going to Willie Creek Pearl Farm as the process follows on from there.
