Day Cruises & Activities on the Water

Explore the beauty of Broome, the Kimberley and Pilbara from the water. 

Unforgettable day cruises, tours, fishing charters and hire allow you to experience rivers, gorges, Australia's second largest lake and the Indian Ocean. 

With a range of experiences across the region, you'll be spoilt for choice. 

Epic sunsets are best complemented by a view of the water, and one of the top things to do is join a sunset cruise and spend a few hours relaxing, enjoying canapés, drinks, and perhaps taking a refreshing swim. Join a sunset cruise in Broome, Kununurra and Lake Argyle - you can also opt for a sunset dinner cruise in Broome and Kununurra. 

Horizontal Falls and Cygnet Bay 

The Horizontal Falls/Garaanngaddim are high on many travellers bucket lists and can be visited from Broome or Derby on a scenic flight and day cruise tour, with options to stay overnight at the Falls for a longer experience. 

You can also discover the Horizontal Falls as part of a luxury day cruise departing Broome and Cygnet Bay - discover the Kimberley Coast and Buccaneer Archipelago and enjoy an indulgent 7-course meal onboard. Also from Cygnet Bay, experience the power of the Kimberley tides in a different way with the Sea Safari tours, or join Bardi-Jawi woman Rosanna Angus on a tour to follow the 'Tide Drifters' on a Sunday Island cultural tour. 

Lake Argyle and the Ord River 

On a day cruise of the incredible Ord River, wildlife is all in a day’s adventure. Permanent wetlands and freshwater reservoirs form an important habitat for native wildlife and a vast number of birds. Cruises on the lake also offer an array of wildlife, including the opportunity to explore one of the best birdwatching locations in Australia on a dedicated tour. 

Take a kayak tour of the Ord River, or hire a boat and equipment at Lake Argyle and make it a day out.  

Day cruises around Broome 

In Broome, whale watching and snubfin dolphin cruises are on offer during the dry season; and if wildlife from a different era is more your thing discover dinosaur footprints and more on a cruise on Roebuck Bay.

Or cast a line on a fishing charter from Broome and take home a tasty fish for dinner. 

Kayak or jet ski around the Dampier Archipelago 

Experience the beauty and ruggedness of the Dampier Archipelago whichever pace you like, with both kayak or jet-ski tours on offer; you’ll be left mesmerised by the Pilbara coast.
