LOOKING for something to up your Instagram game? Instead of the usual cafe-hopping, just head over to exotic Broome in Western Australia for a richer and more diverse experience? Get your camera ready; here are some of the most “Instagramable” spots in Broome.
From pearl farm tours to the world’s oldest operating outdoor cinema, there are so much more to see and experience in Broome. Visit www.australiasnorthwest.com/singapore to find out what more you can do there.
SilkAir is scheduled to operate four direct flights, starting June 13. For a limited time, the little piece of paradise will only be four hours away from Singapore.
Broome, with its picturesque white beaches, impressive natural landscapes, glistening turquoise waters and rich Aboriginal heritage, is a fusion of peacefulness, intriguing history and culture, making it a must-visit destination this year. Visit www.silkair.com/ for more details.
1 CABLE BEACH: TAKE AN EPIC SUNSET CAMEL RIDE
A must-visit spot is the world-famous Cable Beach, with 22 kilometres of sun-kissed whites and magical sunsets. Also, not forgetting the sunset camel rides that have become synonymous with Broome and CableBeach. It is always a treat to interact with such friendly, gentle and docile creatures! It makes for some great photo opportunities, with experiences that will last a lifetime.
2 CHASE STARS IN BROOME: EXPLORE THE GALAXY BEYOND YOU
Broome’s skies are perfect for stargazing, thanks to its cloudless nights and perfect location — to see the best of both the Southern Hemisphere and the Northern Hemisphere, which is a stark contrast to the skies in Malaysia. Embark on a discovery tour of Broome’s night skies with astronomy experts and explore the multiple galaxies beyond us. Don’t forget to bring along your fisheye lenses to capture the stellar night sky!
3 ROEBUCK BAY: MARBEL AT ITS UNTAINTED BEAUTY AND WILDLIFE
Staircase to the Moon isn’t the only Insta-worthy spot at Roebuck bay — sink your feet in its red sand beaches, and soak in the contrasting colours of the sand and sea. Roebuck bay is also home to a diverse ecosystem and a wide variety of wildlife. Go on an eco-tour and catch glimpses of dolphins, a myriad of marine life and migratory birdlife. (Picture credit
4 STAIRCASE TO THE MOON: WITNESS A RARE NATURAL PHENOMENON
Feast your eyes and get your camera ready for the natural phenomenon that only occurs during certain times of the year, and only in Australia’s North West! It happens when the full moon rises over the exposed mudflats at extremely low tide and creates a beautiful optical illusion of stairs reaching to the moon. It is best seen from Roebuck Bay but can also be seen in other parts of Broome, including Dampier, Cossack, and Hearson’s Cove. To check out the dates and timing, visit www.visitbroome.com.au/discover/facts-figures/staircaseto-the-moon.
5 HORIZONTAL FALLS: THE VIEW OF A LIFETIME
Described as one of the greatest wonders of the world, the Horizontal falls is yet another momentous wonder not to be missed. The fast-moving tidal current squeezes through two narrow gorges, pushing the water into rapid-like formations which rush through the twin gaps, producing waterfalls turned on their side.
There are many ways of getting there, with a variety of different tour options to choose from. You can view the Horizontal falls from the air with a scenic flight from Broome or get up close with an extended cruise. For the adventurous, take a float plane and land at the Horizontal Falls. Hold on tight as you take a thrilling boat ride through the rushing water torrents.
