A Walkthrough of the Tour
Looking for more options in Broome? Here are some other experiences worth considering.
The Broome Historical Museum
Your adventure begins with a 45-minute visit to the Broome Historical Museum. This spot is a highlight for those curious about Broome’s past. It’s praised for bringing the area’s history to life, making it a favorite among visitors—it’s actually the most visited regional museum in Western Australia. Our guide shares engaging stories that provide context, helping you understand how Broome grew from a pearling town to a vibrant tourist destination.
Reviews rave about the museum’s depth: one mentions, “the museum was very interesting, lots to explore,” while another notes the guide’s storytelling made the history more tangible. Some guests wish they had more time there, as it’s easy to get drawn into the exhibits and forget about the clock. Still, 45 minutes is enough to get a taste and leave with a sense of Broome’s unique heritage.
Matso’s Broome Brewery
Next, the tour heads to Matso’s Brewery, a local favorite. Here, you’ll enjoy free samples of their renowned Ginger and Mango Beers—an especially popular feature. The brewery offers a relaxed setting with outdoor seating, perfect for sampling some of Broome’s craft beverages while soaking up the scenery of Roebuck Bay.
One reviewer called it “a lovely place,” especially enjoying the outdoor ambiance. The brewery isn’t just about drinks; it also has a restaurant, though the tour offers no included meal. A key point here is that the brewery visit is about tasting and enjoying, not a formal tour—helping set expectations that you’ll get a leisurely experience rather than a detailed brewery tour.
Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park
The final stop is the Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park, lasting about 1 hour and 20 minutes. This attraction is renowned for its impressive crocodile exhibits and conservation stories. Malcolm Douglas, a famous wildlife documentarian, contributed significantly to crocodile conservation efforts, and his park continues that legacy.
Guests love the opportunity to see crocodiles up close and witness feeding shows and demonstrations. One person described it as “incredible,” with another mentioning the crocodiles’ “impressive” nature. However, a few reviews note that mosquitoes can be bothersome, so bringing insect repellent is wise. The park’s focus on conservation and education makes it more than just a tourist attraction; it’s a chance to learn about these fascinating creatures.
Included Extras
Throughout the tour, you’ll enjoy live commentary from your guide, along with water—an important touch in Broome’s warm climate. Over 18s also get a free Matso’s Ginger Beer and Mango Beer, adding a fun local flavor to your afternoon.

Transportation and Group Size
The tour uses air-conditioned minivans, ensuring comfort during transfers. With a maximum of 16 travelers, the group remains intimate enough for personal interaction but lively enough for a social atmosphere. Hotel pickup and drop-off make logistics simple, especially if you’re staying nearby.
The Overall Experience: A Balance of Value and Insight
Priced at $93.24 per person, this tour offers pretty good value considering the three attractions, guided insights, transportation, and drinks included. It is a straightforward way to cover a lot of ground without facing the hassle of individual bookings or navigating unfamiliar transport.
Some reviews highlight how guides like Georgia, Gabby, and Stephanie make the experience memorable by sharing their local knowledge and engaging personalities. They seem to strike a good balance between informative commentary and friendly chatter, making each stop more engaging.
What’s the Slight Drawback?
The main critique from some guests is the limited time at each site—particularly at the museum, which can feel rushed. If you’re a history buff or love taking your time at exhibits, this might be a downside. The tour’s packed schedule means you won’t have hours to linger, but for many, that’s a fair tradeoff for a quick, rundown.
Final thoughts
This tour is best suited for those who want a snapshot of Broome’s key sights in a half-day, especially if convenience and guided commentary matter most. It’s perfect for travelers with limited time, families seeking a flexible outing, or anyone keen to see crocodiles, learn local history, and taste regional beers without booking multiple tickets or worrying about logistics.
The small-group format enhances the experience, allowing for a more personable interaction with guides and fellow travelers. The inclusion of hotel pickup and drop-off removes hassle, and the overall structure ensures you get a good sense of Broome’s essence without feeling overwhelmed.
If you’re after a well-rounded, engaging introduction to Broome with a dash of adventure, this tour offers excellent value. It’s a practical, enjoyable way to spend an afternoon soaking in the highlights and stories that make Broome special.
