Broome City Sightseeing Tour with Optional Camel Ride
Broome, Australia
See the sights of Broome, the star of Western Australia’s Kimberley region, on a comprehensive half-day tour. The tour takes you to Broome’s Chinatown and historic port, and to the world’s oldest outdoor cinema at Sun Pictures. Hear about Broome’s World War II history at Town Beach, and see ancient dinosaur footprints preserved in the red rocks at Gantheaume Point. Add a Cable Beach upgrade to watch a sunset over the ocean, or take a sunset camel ride along Broome’s iconic stretch of sand.
See why Broome is one of Western Australia's most popular destinations on a half-day tour of this historic pearling town.
Your first stop on your half-day Broome sightseeing tour is the town's colorful Chinatown, to hear stories from the precinct's trading past. Admire beautiful jewelry for sale in one of Broome's famous pearl shops, and be entertained by a historical audio show at the world’s oldest open-air cinema, Sun Pictures.
Explore the old quarter of Broome, with its historic architecture and the lovely homes that were once home to pearlers. The tour also takes you to Town Beach, where the magical 'Staircase to the Moon' effect takes place on certain nights and a special food and craft market is held. Hear tales from WWII, when Broome experienced the threat of invasion during the One Day War.
Cool off with ale or ginger beer at Matso's Broome Brewery, then pay a visit to the Japanese Cemetery and the historic port where Japanese pearl divers first arrived in Broome. Feel the sand between your toes during a walk on Riddell Beach, visit Broome's racecourse and visit Gantheaume Point, where you can see dinosaur footprints from millions of years ago. Don’t miss the chance to take a dip in Anastasia’s Pool, a perfectly formed circle cut into the rocks by Mother Nature at Gantheaume Point.
You have the option to complete your one-day tour of Broome with a sunset visit to famous Cable Beach, renowned for its spectacular ocean sunsets. Take a stroll along the beach, and enjoy some snacks while watching the sky turn orange and pink at sunset.
Or choose the option to complete your day with a sunset camel ride along Cable Beach. One of Broome's most iconic activities, it's an experience you won't forget!
This was an awesome experience! Even though the weather was overcast, the joy of trekking along the shores of the Indian Ocean in a camel caravan made for vivid memories which we will never forget. Steve, Adrian and Jeremy were fantastic. Steve had a definite rapport with each of his camels and could speak their language. Jeremy was the lead guide, assuring the caravan stayed on course and proceeded in a nice, comfortable pace. Adrian served as a our walk along guide, taking the time to be aside each of the camels in the caravan to answer any questions and provide insight to the passing scene. He even was so kind as to use each traveler's camera to take personal shots of them to assure clear photos of them as we traveled! We highly recommend this tour.

Due to this tour being cancelled by the company on our first full day in Broome and changed to the last day of our holiday, it still did not deter us from enjoying this city sightseeing tour of the town. Our first stop was Sun Pictures which is the oldest operating indoor/outdoor theatre in the world. Then on to the the Cygnet Bay Pearls showroom for an interesting insight into the pearling industry. A viewing of the dinosaur footprints were also on the agenda at Gantheaume Point just outside of town before a welcome tasting of cold beer at Matso's brewery. To top it off we went on the optional camel ride which was just lovely at sunset and worth while taking part in. Our bus driver and guide for the afternoon was Lindsay who did a fabulous job, well done.

The tour was a wonderful experience except for 4 things._br/_ The tour guide was a little side-tracked and constantly talked about his sore back whilst travelling on the bus. So when we got to some of our destinations we sat in the bus hearing the tour commentary we should have been hearing on the way. 1. The Sun Theatre was the first example of this. We sat in the bus for almost 10 minutes before going in. 2. The Pearl shop visit was too long, the shop representative gave a talk about farming pearls but he was very slow and repeated himself so it was way too long. As soon as he was finished our guide literally kicked us out of the shop. 3. I am not a beer drinker I had been looking forward to getting to the pub to taste their fruit beers I had heard so much about but again too much time was spent in the bus outside the pub listening to the guide. Those of us who were doing the camel ride literally walked in drank our 2 samples and had to leave straight away. 4. The last things was during the camel. The actual ride, the camels and all the staff handling them were extremely nice, friendly and professional except the man in charge of the camels. He was the one who helped everyone get off the camels after the ride. Mounting the camels was no problems, you just get on exactly like a horse and as I ride my horses almost every day of the year, not a problem at all. However when it came to getting off I expected to get off the same way however he would not let me. He insisted to the point of leaning over the saddle and pulling my right foot up and over the camel even though I tried to explain to him that as I had a back problem I should get off the same way I got on but he insisted and forced my leg over the camel as he wanted. This of course let me in some pain but his attitude was that he didn't care!! Even his staff standing behind him were not allowed to help me. So that was not a good finish to my day and overall I was a little disappointed in the tour overall.

Review by: Peter G, July 2017
Enjoyed the tour i hadn't,t been to Broome for years and so much has change so going on this tour helped us get our bearings. Particularly enjoyed the Cygnet Bay Pearl talk and the old picture theatre. Grantheum Point was a bit disappointing. We did the sunset camel ride and would recommend this.
Review by: Bev L, June 2017
Great tour guide throughout Broome to the best spots with interesting histories. Recommend it.
Review by: Marion E, May 2017
The camel ride at sunset was the highlight of this tour. That was amazing and I would recommend this to anyone visiting Broome. Cable beach would have to be one of the best beaches I have every visited._br/_ And This is from someone who lives on the Gold Coast of Queensland._br/_ A bit of a hassle finding our bus in the dark but all well in the end._br/_ The earlier bus tour was interesting but I wouldn't say exciting. Loved the pearl section of the tour. Would have liked to see a bit more scenery though.
Review by: Sabrina M, May 2017
This tour covers Broome's must-sees. I found the presentation about pearls very interesting. My highlight was the camel ride though. It's a good tour but there isn't enough time for the sights visited.
Review by: Glynn A, October 2016
Sightseeing Tour is a Great way of getting your bearings and learning general history of Broome. We were able to plan where we wanted to revisit through the information gained. _br/_ Camel Ride option was a highlight and highly recommended. Suitable for all age and sizes. The camel team leaders are highly experienced and are a smooth operating team. An iconic experience of Broome.
Review by: David B, October 2016
Broome was a new adventure for us. We had not been to Broome or the Kimberleys. This tour was a way of learning about Broome and the immediate vicinity quickly and easily. It gave us an orientation on the town and its history. Brett provided a running commentary on locations as we stopped at them or passed them. It was extremely useful.
Review by: Judy C, September 2016
The Broome City Sightseeing Tour with guide Brett was well worth it. The tour gave us great insight into this amazing town - the sights, the people, the history and the things that make this town very special. We chose the optional camel ride which capped off a great afternoon of experiences.
Review by: Elizabeth P, September 2016
Due to bad weather our tour was split over two days which was quite good. The Broome tour was good with the guide Brett who is very knowledgeable and obviously loves his job. The history of Broome is very interesting and we witnessed a lovely sunset at Gantheaume Point._br/_ The camel ride was fun if not slightly uncomfortable and again the guides are very knowledgeable and happy. We were lucky to experience another spectacular sunset. The photos that you purchase at the end of the ride are a little expensive so suggest just buy the single photos not the USB which is just full of photos of everyone else on the ride and not of much interest after the ride.
Review by: Helen N, July 2016
Everything went smoothly and covered many experiences. Brett was an excellent guide.
Review by: PamF, July 2016
I and several others felt this tour was rushed because 4 people were doing the camel ride and had to be there by 4pm. It would have been better if we could have got off the coach at Town Beach to take photos and go to the Pioneer Cemetery. The same at the Japanese Cemetery. Otherwise very enjoyable.
Review by: Karen M, July 2016
This tour was excellent. Brett and #39;s local knowledge was impressive and he was the perfect host (comedy 101 included). Our only complaint is we should have done the tour on our first day! Thank you and cheers Brett! for everything.

This tour was amazing!
Review by: Clare M, July 2016
This was a very good tour giving you all the main sites of Broome. As the area is fairly compact this is done easily in an afternoon. The camels were an great way to finish the day.

Review by: Maureen C, May 2016
Viator stuffed up! - our tour was not confirmed by Kimberley Wild - Viator didn't advise us that trip had not been confirmed and now waiting on a reply from Viator as to why we weren't advised that tour was not confirmed and waiting on Viator to credit our 310.00 which was paid online in March!!!!
Review by: Carol B, September 2015
It was a great tour. The staff are great the camels have their own personalities. Harry and I thoroughly enjoyed this and would highly recommend it to others as we did when we were in Broome to a few newcomers.l

This tour was amazing!
Review by: LEEANN R, January 2015
Good quick tour of Broome if you didn't have much time to get out on your own. A faster way to see the city and have some quick side trip drives for some beautiful things! Watching the sunset on the beach could be removed from the tour for those that don't take the camel ride.
Review by: judelogan1, October 2014
The tour was incredible, thank largely to our wonderful friendly and informative driver._br/_
The sunset camel ride is a experience none of us will ever forget. Truly the highlight of our entire trip.
Review by: Michelle C, October 2014
We arrived on the Sunday and phoned to confirm booking for the Monday, were advised that no such tour existed on the Monday. Confused to put it mildly as your company had sent me a confirmation email and reference #. Thankfully we were staying additional days and could arrange to do tour on the Tuesday. The actual tour and camel ride at sunset was amazing.
Review by: Marolynn C, August 2014
We loved the tour of Broome and being able to see and sit at the Outdoor Theatre, trying Ginger Beer at Matso's, finding out more about Broome and finishing off with a fantastic camel ride on Cable Beach. A great day and a wonderful bus driver. Thoroughly recommend it!
Review by: kjack, August 2014
Tour was very informative. Loved the trip to the Outdoor Movies and actually made sure we went to see a movie there. Trip to Matso was fabulous. A bit of tasting and an interesting talk about the history of Matso's and the building in which it operates. Would recommend this tour.
Review by: Julie H, July 2014
An excellent introduction to Broome and its immediate surroundings. Our tour leader was entertaining and very informative. Well worth the effort of taking this tour.
