Day One
Morning
Go where the locals go and ease into the day with a relaxed breakfast at Molly's Bake House, a secret garden tucked away in the heart of old Broome. Settle in among lush, tropical surrounds and enjoy great coffee alongside freshly baked treats. Our tip: try the cardamom scroll.
Spend a few hours exploring Broome’s historic old town - stroll through Chinatown, browse charming boutiques, and take in the unique blend of cultures that shaped the region. A visit to Jewels of the Kimberley is a must - this elegant showroom is a destination in its own right, offering bespoke, handcrafted pieces that make the perfect Kimberley memento. Be sure to glimpse master jeweller Jodi Penfold at work in her studio, tucked away at the back of the gallery.
Midday
Indulge in a leisurely lunch at The Bay Club at the Mangrove Hotel - perched above Roebuck Bay with one of the best views in Broome. Time it for midday to catch the high tide at its most dazzling, the water a vivid turquoise against the tropical surrounds. Order fresh Kimberley produce, settle into a day bed or cabana, and let the hours drift by. No bookings needed - just turn up and enjoy.
Refreshed from lunch, make your way over to Cable Beach. With 22 kilometres of pristine white sand, there’s no better place to swim, stroll, or simply unwind - a timeless Broome ritual.
Book a table at Cable Beach House and arrive early to enjoy pre-dinner drinks as the sun sinks into the sea, camels amble past and the old pearl lugger sails through the sunset. Settle in with one of their signature cocktails and take in the uninterrupted views stretching out across the Indian Ocean as the sky puts on a show. An extensive seafood menu showcases the very best of the Kimberley coast. Few places capture Broome’s magic quite like this - a spectacular end to an extraordinary first day.
Day Two
Morning
Pull up a seat, take your time, and ease into the morning at Zookeepers Café, a laid-back spot loved for its friendly service, expertly brewed coffee, and food that keeps the locals coming back. The perfect start to a day filled with the best Broome has to offer.
Midday Experience
Next, prepare for a truly unforgettable adventure. You’ll be whisked away on a helicopter flight to Willie Creek Pearl Farm, soaking in breathtaking views of Broome’s rugged coastline. After landing, enjoy an intimate tour of the farm, learn about the pearl cultivation process, and browse their elegant showroom. A gourmet lunch overlooking the serene waters of the creek is included - an experience that perfectly captures Broome’s blend of nature and refinement.
Afternoon
After returning to town (via helicopter, naturally), head to Moontide Distillery for a relaxed private gin tasting. This boutique distillery infuses its small-batch spirits with native botanicals, tropical fruits and exotic spices, resulting in a refined and distinctly Kimberley experience for the palate. If appetite allows, pair your tasting with a gourmet cheeseboard and enjoy an hour or two of pure indulgence.
Evening
Dinner tonight is at Kichi Kichi, set within the lush surrounds of Cable Beach Club Resort. Asian fusion meets Broome chic - expect vibrant share plates, creative cocktails, and a lively atmosphere perfect for a memorable night out.
Day Three
Morning
Start the day at Good Cartel, a no-frills favourite known for serving up the best coffee in Broome. Grab one of their infamous maple bacon bagels and wander down to Town beach to watch the locals head out for a day of fishing.
From here, choose your own adventure:
- Deepen your connection to place with a Mabu Buru Cultural Tour - an intimate journey into the ancient culture of the Yawuru and Karajarri people and their profound connection to the Kimberley landscape.
- For nature lovers, join a Turtle Kayak Tour and glide over clear waters in search of marine life whilst taking in spectacular views of the coastline.
Lunch
Refuel at Matso’s, Broome’s beloved heritage brewery. Sip a mango beer under festoon lights and enjoy the classic beer garden vibes. It’s casual, iconic, and distinctly Broome.
Afternoon
Spend your final afternoon soaking up Broome’s natural beauty. Stroll along Gantheaume Point at low tide in search of dinosaur footprints embedded in the ancient rock. Walk up to the lighthouse and meander along the timeless red cliffs, pausing to take in the sweeping views across the turquoise Indian Ocean as the afternoon light turns everything golden.
Afterward, lose yourself in Broome's thriving art scene with a leisurely gallery hop through town. The galleries here are world-class - a rich tapestry of Indigenous artworks, local photography, and one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect the unique culture and landscape of the Kimberley. Short Street Gallery is a must for its striking contemporary Indigenous art, Black Stump Gallery showcases a carefully curated mix of Kimberley-inspired works across various media, and Broome Gallery is worth a visit for the vivid, colour-drenched paintings of artist James Down alone. Take your time, and don't be surprised if you leave with something special.
Evening
Round out three unforgettable days at Papa Fuego with a vibrant feast full of zest, blending tropical flavours with a South American twist. Don't be fooled by the exterior - Step inside and the atmosphere is immediately transportive. Bold, moody interiors and an intimate hidden bar retreat set the tone for a truly special evening. Indulge in show-stopping cocktails and a flame-grilled menu designed to be lingered over and shared. An unexpected gem, and a fitting finale to your Broome escape.
Complete the evening with a visit to Sun Pictures, the world's oldest outdoor cinema and one of Broome's signature experiences. Sink into a vintage deck chair, choc-top in hand, and watch a film under the vast, star-filled Kimberley sky. A wonderfully nostalgic and uniquely Broome way to close out your final evening.
