6 Outrageously Fun Local Experiences in Broome

Local Brews at Matso’s Brewery

Broome, a gem tucked away on the edge of the Indian Ocean in Western Australia, offers an array of unique activities that cater to diverse tastes—from the laid-back beer aficionado to the adventurous sea explorer. Here’s a curated list of must-try experiences in Broome that blend local culture, natural beauty, and unique adventures.

Kayak with Sea Turtles

Start your Broome adventure at Matso’s, proudly known as ‘Australia’s most remote brewery.’ This laid-back spot belies its serious commitment to crafting unique beers. Visit from April to October and experience the local Fumiko food truck in the beer garden. At night, the locals gather for jam sessions, creating a vibrant community atmosphere.

 Paddle through the waters and keep an eye out for sea turtles, migratory birds, dolphins, and even humpback whales. We highly recommend visiting from June to September to make the most of this experience.  For a more relaxed experience, consider a sunset cruise where the ocean unfolds its beauty as the day closes.

Jetty to Jetty Trail

Immerse yourself in Broome’s rich history with a self-guided walk along the Jetty to Jetty Trail. This free 3.4-kilometre trail is dotted with signposts that narrate the multicultural origins and pearling history of the city. Start your journey with a map from the Broome Visitor Centre and step back in time as you explore at your own pace. 

Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Trail

Venture into the world of the formidable saltwater crocodile at Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park. Established by the legendary documentary maker Malcolm Douglas, this park offers daily feeding sessions where you can witness the power and majesty of these ancient creatures. The park’s giant fibreglass croc head marks an unforgettable entrance to a thrilling encounter.

Fishin on Half-Day Charter

Broome’s waters are teeming with marine life, making it a perfect spot for fishing enthusiasts. A half-day charter tour will take you 10 to 20 nautical miles offshore, where you can fish for species like Blue Spot Emperor and Giant Trevally. Enjoy the convenience of having your catch cleaned and packed, ready for a beachside barbecue upon your return.

Bali Hai Spa

After your adventurous days, unwind at the Bali Hai Resort’s day spa on Cable Beach. Renowned for its serene atmosphere and unique treatments, such as those using crushed mother of pearl, indulge in an Indian Head Massage to cap off your Broome experience.
