Here are some suggestions for what you can do for your next holiday in Broome
Planning a getaway in the coming months? Embrace the charm of Australia’s shoulder season for fewer crowds, enticing deals, and pleasant weather. Broome, Western Australia, is an ideal destination with its direct four-and-a-half-hour flight from Singapore on Jetstar, available from June to October.
Why Broome?
Known as the gateway to the Kimberley, Broome offers a delightful blend of the dry and wet seasons during this time. For a combination of city vibes and beach relaxation, consider flying into Perth first. Enjoy the laid-back city atmosphere before heading to Broome for stunning sunsets and memorable coastal experiences.
In Broome, explore the pristine waters on a dolphin tour where you can encounter Australia’s largest population of snubfin dolphins and an array of marine life in Roebuck Bay. You might also spot bottlenose dolphins having fun in the sun or opt for a cruise to witness majestic humpback whales migrating along the Western Australian coast from June to September.
Experience Magic
Don’t miss the magical “Staircase to the Moon” phenomenon, visible when the full moon rises over exposed tidal flats, creating the illusion of a staircase leading to the moon. This enchanting sight can be enjoyed at the Staircase to the Moon Markets in Broome’s Town Beach Precinct, and along Roebuck Bay and the Mangrove Hotel. Be sure to check the moon phases for the best viewing opportunities.
For more unique experiences, book a tour at Willie Creek Pearl Farm to uncover the secrets of pearl farming. The tour includes a visit to a Pearl Oyster Nursery, a cruise on Willie Creek to view live oysters, and a Pearling Masterclass that delves into the art of producing the perfect pearl.
Between September and October, Broome welcomes migratory birds returning from the Arctic Circle. Visit the Broome Bird Observatory for a chance to see diverse bird species along Roebuck Bay, where the tropical and desert landscapes meet.
Finally, immerse yourself in the indigenous heritage of Roebuck’s mangroves with The Mangrove Discovery Experience. Join local Aboriginal guides on a 2km walk to learn about indigenous stories and appreciate the natural beauty of the area.
