High tide glassy and low tide exposing the fossilized prints—this is Broome’s coastline as a chapter of deep time and present-day wildlife. Step off a low-draft cruiser onto white sand that guards 120-million-year-old dinosaur footprints, then drift upriver through mangrove arms while a flute of sparkling wine catches the late-morning light.
The Kimberley coastline here is ancient sandstone and tidal flats: the prints are Early Cretaceous impressions preserved where dinosaurs once walked on beaches now reclaimed by sea and mangrove. The region sits on Yawuru traditional lands and Roebuck Bay is internationally important for shorebirds; culturally and geologically the place layers stories. Along the cruise expect to see winding creek inlets, seagrass flats and snatches of reef where turtles, rays and the local snubfin dolphin forage.
Practicalities are straightforward: the tour runs about six hours, includes beach landings designed for minimal impact, and finishes with a five-course tapas service and cocktails at a waterfront venue. Wear reef shoes or sturdy sand-friendly footwear for slippery rock platforms, sun protection and insect repellent for creek-side stops. Bring a compact rain shell in the wet season and binoculars for birding on Roebuck Bay. Guides handle landings and fossil viewing—avoid walking on delicate trackways and follow instructions to protect the site.
Timing your visit during the dry season (May–October) gives calmer seas and clearer skies; wet months bring dramatic thunderstorms and higher tides that can restrict beach access. Whether you’re there for photography, birdwatching or that odd moment of standing where an ancient animal once stood, the cruise is both a hands-on natural-history stop and a relaxed coastal meal experience.
The experience is approximately six hours from departure to return and includes boat time, a beach landing and a waterfront tapas meal.
