There’s a plethora of excursions just waiting for you, from guided tours of Broome’s famous pearl farms to scenic flights that give you a bird’s-eye view of the region’s stunning landscapes. For something a little more unique, board a catamaran to glide on turquoise waters as the sun dips below the horizon, or if you’re here during the right season, book a a place on a whale-watching tour.
