Things To Do
Staircase to the Moon Night Markets
Dates are released each year, watch the full moon rise over Roe-Buck bay! The Staircase to the Moon Night Markets is a vibrant and unique cultural event held in Broome, Western Australia, where the natural phenomenon of the "Staircase to the Moon" takes place. This occurs when a full moon rises over the exposed mudflats of Roebuck Bay, creating an illusion of a staircase leading to the sky. During this event, the night markets come alive with local art, crafts, fresh produce, and an array of food stalls.
Cable Beach
Catch the stunning sunset at Cable Beach, where the sky turns vibrant colors over golden sands and turquoise waters.
Divers Tavern
Dive into history at Diver’s Tavern, where Broome’s rich pearl diving heritage meets great food and cold pints. Relax in a place that’s been a local favorite since the days of the pearling luggers. Come for the stories, stay for the good times.
Horizontal Falls Seaplane Adventures
Soar over the Kimberley Coast with Horizontal Falls Seaplane Adventures and experience the stunning Horizontal Falls from the sky. A unique, unforgettable way to explore one of Australia’s most incredible natural wonders. Nick and I did this on our last trip to Broome and whilst it is expensive, it was truly worth it.
Absolute Ocean Charters
Explore the stunning waters of Broome with Absolute Ocean Charters. Whether it’s fishing, snorkeling, or cruising the coast, their expert crew takes you to the best spots for an unforgettable adventure on the water.
Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park
The famous Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park just out of Broome is home to many, many crocodiles along with breathtakingly colourful birdlife, a cassowary, kangaroos, euros and wallabies, as well as emus, jabirus, snakes and lizards. We recommend going out there just before 3pm for the daily “feeding” tour. Buy tickets at the gate.
Willie Creek Pearl Farm
Discover exactly what makes the perfect pearl at Willie Creek Pearl Farm situated just 38km out of Broome, on the picturesque protected tidal estuary of Willie Creek itself. The journey starts with the collection and spawning of oysters in our state-of-the-art hatchery, then moves on to the delicate operations of seeding. If you book the Horizontal Falls tour, a scenic flight or planning to stay on in The Kimberley, you could even get out to Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm which was even more impressive: https://www.cygnetbaypearlfarm.com.au/
Broome Courthouse Markets
The Broome Courthouse Markets are held in the beautiful Heritage listed gardens of the Broome Courthouse. Started over 25 years ago by a small group of locals wishing to trade local product, they have grown to become a major tourist attraction in Broome and host up to 115 creative stalls over the Dry Season. COURTHOUSE MARKETS: Trading every Saturday all year and Sunday from April – October
Gantheaume Point (Cliffs + Dinosaur Walk)
For nature of a more historical kind, nothing gets much more ancient than the 130-million-year-old Dinosaur Footprint which can be seen at very low tides at Gantheaume Point. Footprints can be viewed at Gantheaume Point at tides below 2.16m. As the rocks can be slippery and steep, we recommend a high level of mobility and sturdy shoes are required.
