About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Lynda S0 contributionsMesmerizing experience 🐳We were surrounded by whales today showing us there unusual behaviors which were explained to us by a very knowledgeable Georgie and chatting with her it was obvious she knew her stuff. Phoebe also was very approachable and obviously loved her job. Snacks were awesome and well received. Thank-you girls you made our tour which was very organized. Fantastic experience 💙🐳💙Written 9 September 2024
- 372laineyb0 contributionsSunset whale watchingWhat a great sunset whale watching experience. The friendly crew were fantastic at finding many whales - and the odd turtle and dolphin. Had great knowledge and also lovely snacks and a soft drink. Well planned and professional.Written 14 August 2024
- richardpB5695OG0 contributionsGreat day.Bloody brilliant. Great day. Haven't got a clue about fishing but crew were great, helpful , and friendly and I caught 3 nice fish including a big Spanish Mackerel. Big bag of fish fillets to take hope. Very happy.Written 6 August 2024
- JoVo12340 contributionsAmazing whale watching tripFantastic tour - Phoebe, Georgie, Chris and Robin were an excellent crew and looked after us superbly well. Incredible close encounters with high numbers of humpback whales. Interesting commentary, tasty nibbles, and a massive coolbox to store our BYO frosty beers. Couldn't really have asked for a better day out..! To top it off, we were steaming back watching the sunset when a whale fully breached over the horizon... the icing on the cake! Thanks so much!Written 6 August 2024
- Journey378386802660 contributionsGood whale watching experience.Fantastic experience. Saw lot of whales. Host Georgie & Gigi (marine biologist) were fabulous hosts- knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. Hi-lite of my Broome trip.Written 4 August 2024
- mickrO3830KD0 contributionsLove your fishing charterTotally enjoyed my fishing trip. Great crew and well organised. Shame I got the worst rod for someonewho fishes a lot. Hope to be back for another trip.Written 2 August 2024
- joevJ4057SC0 contributionsDisappointingWhile holidaying in Broome I paid $800 for my two Sons 24 & 13 who have never been fishing before to go on this day trip which I thought would be an experience of a lifetime. Unfortunately one caught a fish that got taken by a shark and the other didn’t catch anything so pretty disappointed for them both. With the previous reviews I had read I would of expected the staff to be a little more helpful with this as it was a fishing trip when fish where a plenty apparently not just a day on a boat. Suppose that’s the chance you take with fishing . Just a lot of money for nothing really.Written 21 July 2024
- ppN5006GF0 contributions“Had a whale of a time”This trip was amazing! I got picked up from my backpacker hostel by the company and everyone was on the boat for the 3pm start. The whole operation was seamless - everyone was super friendly, energetic, and made an effort to talk to you (especially Phoebe and Georgia)! The skipper found some whales relatively quickly and ensured we got a close view of them. Phoebe, the marine biologist, was also very informative during the session and talked us through what was going on (some males fighting for a female) and thoroughly answered any and all questions we had, as well as explaining what parts of the whale to focus on and what functions each part has. They also had little canopies and soft drinks which were an added bonus. The whole experience was incredible - thanks to all those who made it possible!Written 14 July 2024
- 910dianne0 contributionsUnreal experience.Once in a lifetime opportunity to see the whale sharks in the wild and have the privilege of swimming with them. The crew on this tour are exceptional I was a little nervous, the staff made sure I had the best time and I did, got to swim with them on 4 occasions will never forget the experience. Thankyou.Written 1 July 2024
- hydieSydney0 contributionsMust do tourCandy took us on our tour and she was fantastic. Knew so much local knowledge. Also went far beyond their job when I had realised I had left my sunglasses on the bus. Her husband made a special trip early in the morning to return them to my hotel. Would recommend this tour.Written 25 June 2024
- DLBate0 contributionsGreat dayFantastic day. They will keep my moving locations to ensure a good fishing spot. We encountered a school of Spanish mackerel and it was game on! Then came the sharks to are re to the excitement! The guys are fantastic, filleting and storing everything you catch so you can take home later if you want.Written 17 June 2024
- rowimac0 contributionsBroome Reef FishingDid the full day reef charter with 12 others - absolutely fantastic boat - safe and comfortable - fishing was OK but did catch a variety of smaller fish. I did catch a decent size Nannygai and asked for a picture but next minute it had been cleaned and filleted and photo op gone. When we did hook up to some big Golden Trevally, unfortunately with so many lines in the water, there was an inevitable tangle and lost fish. Some people managed to get theirs to the boat but it would have been better if only a small number had rods in and alternated to give everyone a chance to catch a big fish. Unfortunately we also had to move often to avoid sharks taking the catch. Skipper and crew worked hard to ensure we had a good day out.Written 25 May 2024
- Roam5240800 contributionsBest Fishing experienceThese great are fantastic. We caught heaps of fish, they never stopped making sure everyone on board were ok and the service was great. The way they even cleaned the boat at the end lets you know that they love their job and it shows in the service. We caught so many fish i had to give half away to the other guys who were staying longer. I will be backWritten 5 May 2024
- 850kerrieb0 contributionsWould definitely book again 👍Great day out. Professional, friendly crew; Fresh, tasty lunch provided. Would definitely book again if back to Broome.Written 30 April 2024
- J3101WHdavidw0 contributionsGreat fishing tripMy 14 year old son and I went on the half day fishing trip. Boat was great, staff were great and we caught some good fish on the trip. The deckhands were great with the kids, helping them reel in fish and with bait. All round a great trip.Written 6 April 2024

Lovely afternoon, spotted many Dolphins (along with a couple of turtles and a ray). Great narration on board (lovely lady, forget her name) with some information on the dolphins too, which was informative and educational. Would recommend.

My family and I had a great time onboard the AOC boat tour! The tour was guided by a very knowledgeable Marine Biologist. We saw many snubfin dolphins and a few bottlenose dolphins. Dad also claims to have seen a turtle but we’re skeptical ;)
Sea snakes and Dugongs on our next trip!
Thanks guys!

Yes, we saw those super-cute snubfin dolphins and a few bonus turtles, too. The staff were great, snacks were great and even if we hadn’t seen the snubbies it would have been an enjoyable cruise. Finishing on a Broome sunset over Roebuck Bay was a nice way to end. Highly recommended!

From the time I booked to the very last step off the boat I was looked after beautifully by all the staff. WHAT A GREAT EXPERIENCE. All the staff were very pleasant and had a lot of inforamtion on all marine creatures that we saw.
Thank you very much for a great afternoon out on your boat.
A pleasure and I will be back out for another trip soon.

Very informative cruise. Staff vey helpful, communication excellent. A little expensive, but pleasant. One is taken with a small boat to the bigger vessel - not warned about this beforehand, it may not be suitable for elderly people or people with walking problems. ( climbing onto the small boat and transferring again onto the bigger boat may not suit everyone).

Would defintely recommend this tour operator. The team were friendly very helpful and had a lovely experience with the family on the water. Pity we didn't see too many dolphins but can't predict the currents and had a 50 metre restriction.
