Broome’s dining scene hits all the right notes with two standout dinner cruises that combine local flavors with stunning coastal views. The practical choice is the 4.5-hour Broome-Sunset cruise, serving a 4-course à la carte menu of fresh-caught seafood and regional meats. For something special, hop aboard the 25-meter catamaran for the Staircase to the Moon dinner – a buffet feast with live music that perfectly pairs with nature’s light show.
What I love about these cruises: they deliver real value with generous portions, authentic local cuisine, and those magical Indian Ocean sunsets. The bonus? You might spot dolphins or sea turtles while dining.
