Broome Town Tour: Discover Broome, Beaches & History

About this tour

This isn’t just a sightseeing tour — it’s the moment Broome starts to make sense.

Our Discover Broome experience is a boutique, story-led tour designed to connect you with the real Broome — not just the places, but the meaning behind them. Led by passionate local guides, we don’t just show you Cable Beach, Gantheaume Point, Chinatown and Town Beach — we bring them to life through the stories, people and history that shape this unique destination.

With a relaxed, personal approach, you’ll feel more like you’re exploring with a local than following a checklist. Along the way, we share our favourite spots, local tips and insights you won’t find on your own.

Designed for comfort and accessibility, with minimal walking, air-conditioned transport and thoughtful touches like chilled towels and refreshments.

Most importantly, this is the tour you do first. Everything in Broome makes more sense after.

Local stories. Iconic places. A deeper understanding of Broome.
