Busy season is from April to November, when most people choose to visit, for the dryer weather, clear blue skies and balmy nights. From October to March it quietens down as the weather starts to heat up and the rain begins to turn everything green and lush again.
Thanks to the fantastic climate, white sands and aquamarine waters, you may find it takes longer than a one night stay to fully grasp what this wonderful town has to offer.
This trail is suitable all year round although be sure to read the venue information as some tours may require you to pre book.
Originally founded as a pearling port over 100 years ago, Broome has a colourful heritage birthed of native Aboriginal, Malay, Filipino, Japanese, Chinese and European cultures, a flamboyantly blended personality which is completely unique.
