Explore Broome during the shoulder season and enjoy a blend of city life and beach relaxation starting in Perth before heading to Broome. Spot snubfin dolphins, humpback whales, and experience the magical “Staircase to the Moon.” Delve into Broome’s pearling history, witness the return of migratory birds, and connect with Indigenous culture through guided tours.

Are you planning a trip in the coming months? Why not consider travelling during the off-peak or “shoulder season”? You’ll enjoy fewer crowds, great deals, and pleasant weather. One destination you shouldn’t miss during this time is Broome, nestled on the stunning shores of Western Australia. With direct flights now available from Singapore via Jetstar, getting to this hidden gem has never been easier. Between June and October, you can hop on a four-and-a-half-hour flight to Broome, the gateway to the Kimberley. The shoulder season perfectly blends the dry and wet seasons, ensuring an unforgettable experience.

City and Beach

If you’re craving a balance of city life and beach relaxation, start your journey in Perth. Soak in the laid-back vibe of this city before continuing your adventure to Broome, where you’ll be treated to breathtaking sunsets that are truly one-of-a-kind.

Snubfin Dolphins and Humpback Whales

Broome’s waters teem with marine life, making it an ideal spot for wildlife enthusiasts like you. Embark on a dolphin tour in Roebuck Bay and catch a glimpse of one of Australia’s largest populations of snubfin dolphins, known for their playful nature. You might also encounter bottlenose dolphins as they frolic in the sun. If you’re looking for something more majestic, choose a cruise to spot humpback whales. These gentle giants migrate along Western Australia’s coast from June through September, spending the warmer season in Broome’s pristine waters.

Staircase to the Moon

One of Broome’s most captivating natural phenomena is the “Staircase to the Moon.” This mesmerizing event occurs along the Pilbara and Kimberley coastline when the full moon rises over exposed tidal flats, creating the illusion of a staircase leading to the moon. The best place to experience this is at the Staircase to the Moon Markets, held at the Town Beach Precinct on Hamersley Street during the full moon from April to October. For another perspective, head to Roebuck Bay or the Mangrove Hotel. Don’t forget to check the dates and timings for this breathtaking spectacle!

History of Pearling

Broome’s history is deeply intertwined with pearling, and there’s no better way to explore this than with a visit to Willie Creek Pearl Farm. Book a tour and delve into the fascinating process of modern pearl farming, from the shell to the showroom. You’ll start at a Pearl Oyster Nursery, cruise Willie Creek, and witness live oysters in action. The tour also includes a Pearling Masterclass, offering unique insight into what makes the perfect pearl.

Return of Migratory Birds

As the seasons change, so does Broome’s birdlife. Between September and October, migratory birds return from the Arctic Circle with their young. A visit to the Broome Bird Observatory will allow you to witness an incredible species diversity along Roebuck Bay, where the desert meets the Indian Ocean. Some birds that visit Broome are rarely seen elsewhere in Australia, so bring your camera and prepare for a birdwatching experience like no other.

Indigenous Stories of Roebuck Bay

For a deeper connection with the land, embark on a guided walk through the mangroves and mudflats of Roebuck Bay. Led by local Aboriginal guides, the 2km Mangrove Discovery Experience allows you to learn about Indigenous cultures and their stories. As you explore the natural beauty of Broome, you’ll gain a newfound appreciation for the area’s rich history. Be sure to book your spot in advance, as tours depend on tidal movements.

Whether exploring the ocean’s wonders, witnessing natural phenomena, or immersing yourself in Indigenous culture, Broome promises an unforgettable experience.
