Witness the playful world of snubfin dolphins and jump in the boom net on this exclusive snubfin dolphin tour in Broome. The 3.5-hour cruise begins from Roebuck Bay onboard the 50ft 'Orcaella'.

The ‘Orcaella’ is a purpose-built vessel with comfortable seating options, large covered decks and a viewing space on the top deck. Once settled in, your cruise sets out for a unique journey of discovery to locate the country’s largest Snubfin Dolphin population, and an array of other marine life in Roebuck Bay.

Spot the playful snubfin dolphins or bottlenose dolphins having fun and socialising in their natural habitat, while you relax and enjoy your morning tea on board. These delightful marine creatures are known for their unique and playful behaviour, so keep your cameras ready at all times!

If time permits, you can also add a bit of adventure to your experience by swimming in the boom net! This involves safely swimming within the edges of a large net which is attached to the rear of the boat. On this snubfin dolphin tour, you will also have the chance to spot other marine life, such as dugongs, turtles, and migratory birdlife.

You can enjoy your complimentary morning tea including hot beverages, and fruit juices as you sail. Don't forget your hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun. The Snubfin Dolphin Cruise also includes a courtesy bus transfer from your accommodation.

Book your seats now and experience the playful antics of the incredible dolphins of Broome!
