AI summary of 11 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the knowledgeable and engaging guides who share detailed information about the local area, including its geology, history, Aboriginal heritage, marine life and particularly the prehistoric dinosaur footprints. The most striking element of the cruise is the experience of standing at the actual dinosaur tracks, which multiple reviewers highlight as a memorable or defining moment of their visit to Broome. The tour's small-group format, scenic backdrop of red cliffs and turquoise water at Roebuck Bay, well-organised logistics and quality refreshments including gourmet platters, champagne and morning tea are also frequently commended. One reviewer noted that the morning tea service on board became somewhat crowded, though the catering, including gluten-free options, was well handled.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
Erica picked us up and pointed out local sights, then Lachie gave the safety briefing and Skipper Miles took us past the red sandhills of Roebuck Bay and Dampier Creek. We learnt about the tides, marine life, Aboriginal history and the dinosaurs of the area, and finished with dolphins, turtles, red crabs, birdlife, platters and bubbly.
I loved this small-group cruise, with great commentary and care from Lachlan and his father. Seeing the prehistoric footprints was wonderful, and we finished with gourmet food and wine cruising up the creek before heading back.
A great morning out on lovely Roebuck Bay with a family-run team, finding dinosaur tracks.
The father and son team made learning about dinosaurs educational and entertaining, and they have other spots to visit when the tides don't suit. Morning tea on the creek was a bit crowded on board, but well catered with gluten-free options. A lovely morning.
A brilliant, well-organised morning from the pickup at our accommodation. Miles and Lachy shared loads about the area, the footprints were incredible with Miles's commentary, and bubbles, juice and fresh morning tea along the creek were lovely. A five-star tour for anyone visiting Broome.
The Scenic and Prehistoric Cruise was a lovely few hours, informative and really interesting. The sparkling wine and gourmet platters were just right, and it was extremely well organised.
