 | Broome Flights and Airline Tips | Tips 1 - 10 of 10 |  |
You could drive to Broome but it is a very long way from Perth some 1200 miles away in fact. Some Broomites consider themselves more as territorians than West Aussies that is so far away it is!! I flew Qantas but there are other airlines such as Virgin which fly into Broome. Qantas has three flights into Broome on some days.
The flight is about 2 hours 15 minutes and is very pleasant. They do serve a small meal and a feature film is shown.
The best part of the flight however, is the scenery from the window. (see photos) There is no doubt once you fly across the land how ancient, dry and rugged Australia is.
My return ticket cost approximately $530.00 Theme: Airplane

Getting around Broome is pretty easy. It's flat country so you can easy bike ride or walk to where ever you need to go locally. The roads are sealed but in some places they are hard red dirt. Leave a Comment Theme: Bicycle

Broome, has a very good bus service picking up every half hour from most stops. The bus will take you to all the best parts of Broome, Chinatown, Cable Beach and the driver will point out hotels along the way as well as other points of interest. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

You may need more than a bus pass to visit all the sites some of which are quite spread apart and in the heat very uncomfortable to get to. These scooters cost $35 to hire pp but if you hire them for longer less. $25 for half the day.
No motorbike licence required.

There is a bus service to the main sites of Broome 7 days a week. It takes approximately one hour to do the round trip.
You can purchase a number of different tickets: from a single one way ticket $3.50(concession $1.50) to a 5 ride multi rider $16.00 (concession $6.50).The value-added day pass for $10.00 is well worth it whereby you can hop on and off as many times as you like from 7.10 am till 6.05pm.
The last bus leaves Cable Beach at 6.12pm.
From May until October there is an additional service from 8.40am- 4.40pm. Bus timetables are available at the visitor centre, on the bus and at some bus shelters. Theme: BusWebsite: www.broomebus.com.au

There is a taxi shuttle service from the airport to your hotel. $6.00 to the town centre, $7.50 to other areas. Given that the first thing that will hit you when you arrive will be the heat I believe the last thing you will want to do is walk it even if the airport is right in the middle of the town!!

The local buses are a not only a great way to get around Broome cheaply with or without the pension discounts, but they are reliable, clean and the drivers very helpful and friendly. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus
