For families

Broome is packed with things to occupy the family. A camel ride down Cable Beach is a must, of course, but your little ones will also love coming face-to-face with a salty at the Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park, a hovercraft adventure, and exploring the tracks left by 21 different types of dinosaurs at Gantheaume Point. Whale watching and fishing are also on the cards in Broome. And don’t miss the opportunity go mud crabbing, foraging for bush tucker, and learn how to fish in the traditional ways with a local Aboriginal guide in Cape Leveque and the Dampier Pensinsula.
