Welcome to Broome Whale Watching!
I am Cam, one of your skippers and owner of the business. Our team can’t wait to welcome you on board!
With unexpected changes to travel plans, it can be hard to organise an itinerary. At times flights are cancelled or weather conditions postpone your most anticipated holiday activity. We understand your concerns when booking ahead of time, but we also don’t want you to miss out on an unmissable opportunity. We are here to help you! Review our booking terms and conditions and business policies before making your reservation. If you have any queries, feel free to give us a call. We are always happy to assist you.
Unsuitable Weather Conditions, Low Passenger Numbers
All tours are both weather dependent and require a minimum number of passengers to confirm departure. In the event of a cancellation due to weather or low passenger numbers, you may be contacted and rescheduled to a different time of day otherwise a refund will be provided. Broome Whale Watching reserves the right to cancel departure with minimal notice if unforeseen weather conditions are experienced before departure.
Where you cancel for concerns of weather conditions within 48 hours of departure, you will not be issued a refund.
In the event of unsuitable conditions, Broome Whale Watching will notify you of changes to tour departures via text message sent from mobile number +1(855) 656 -1272.
Other Cancellations
Where you cancel for other reasons and do not provide a minimum of 48 hours’ notice before departure, you will forfeit all monies paid.
Where you cancel an exclusive charter and do not provide two weeks’ notice before departure, you will forfeit all monies paid.
Where you cancel a reservation for four or more passengers and do not provide one weeks’ notice before departure, you will forfeit all monies paid.
We reserve the right to withhold all monies to cover income losses for customers who do not arrive to their departure point by the specified time.
Booking Confirmation
When making a booking, either by phone, email or through our online service, you will receive an email confirmation from our reservation system with a booking number and detailed information about the reservation. If you do not receive the email confirmation, contact us by phone.
