We enjoyed a wonderful and informative trip conducted by Roger on the Broome Hovercraft sunset tour. The trip to view the dinosaur footprints on a beach, that is underwater during the high tide, followed by hors d’oeuvres on the tidal flats. The tide moved in quickly and we were able to wash the tidal mud off our feet before Roger... More

I did this trip primarily because my boys are Dinosaur nuts, yes it is expensive but I imagine those things don't run on fresh air and are expensive to maintain. Let's be honest Broome is a total rip off so I think with that in mind this is pretty reasonable. The actual HQ is in a nice spot with great... More

For $150 per person, I would have thought it would be all inclusive. Canapes on the sand flat in the middle of Roebuck bay was delightful but having to pre-purchase your drink to enjoy out there was a bit over the top! and we don't drink alcohol! Also the cocktails advertised didn't happen for the others on our tour either. More

We have done this attraction twice. April 2010 and Oct 2011. The sunset in May was alot more colourful. The nibblies are basic but very nice - only just enough for the 20 odd people on board. The tour across Roebuck Bay to the dinosaur prints is very informative and interesting. Watching the sun set from the tidal flats in... More

What a different experience! Standing on the mudflats of Broome eating canapes and watching the sun go down! A completely different perspective of the beauty of the area and an opportunity to visit places I would not have, otherwise, been able to see. The staff were friendly and helpful and the commentary on the trip was informative and entertaining. I... More

This was only booked at the last minute as we had not heard of this before but was possibly the best thing we did whilst holidaying in Broome. The service is nothing short of fantastic (thanks June) and this family run business most certainly has plenty of uniqueness to sell. The hovercraft pilot and guide is very knowledgable about the...

A bit disappointing - not much to see for the cost. Dinasour footprints well worth seeing otherwise not much else. Very friendly staff. More

Fun Hovercraft experience and the most professional, friendly staff. A fun hovercraft ride and interesting and informative experience of dinosaur footprints. We did the "drinks on the bay" extra excursion and loved watching the sun set from the sand in the middle of the bay. Nibblies provided were excellent but I do think for the price, they should include a... More

Very Very Disappointing. They kids were excited for about 10 mins of cruising and then 10 mins at the dinosaur footprints and thats it. I thought it would be a lot more exciting than it was especially for $105 per person. RIP OFF! We were over charged by more than $200 and once confronting the company did not receive a... More

The Hovercrafting take off a unique floating drifting feeling initially like a space craft from future or in a scifi movie (but with a nice probing for an ticket/admission for an air-conditioned ride I can tick off my list in experiences in life i can say done once).... roebuck bay and mother nature provides the real highlight of entertainment once...
