Broome International Airport

The guide was updated:
The Broome International Airport is located 2 km from the centre of town and is the hub of North Western Australia. There is no scheduled bus service from the airport, though hotels and resorts have shuttle bus services. The cheapest transfer from the airport is to walk to Frederick Street and catch the Town Bus Service. There are taxis just outside the terminal and fares are quite low into town.

Health and Safety

Health and Safety

When swimming in Broome, pay attention to safety measures against two dangerous kinds of jellyfish, the Irukandji and the Box jellyfish. They can cause severe health problems, and there have been lethal cases, although not in Broome. These jellyfish are usually around when the water is hot, during the hot season and in the nearby months: approximately October to May. It is best not to go swimming during this period of time. However, they can be found - more rarely - even during the rest of the year. The best way to protect oneself is to wear a wetsuit. Always read warnings signs at the beach and ask lifeguards when in doubt. Find more information on the subject at:

Best Time to Visit

Best Time to Visit

Generally, Broome has two seasons: the dry one, from April/May to September, is the best to visit the area; the wet season is very hot and rainy. Most tourists visit between June and August, when, in addition to warm weather and clear skies, it's possible to admire whales migrating off the Northern shore. To avoid most of the crowds, enjoy great swims and beach life, and admire luxurious vegetation right after the wet season, come in June. April and May are also beautiful months, but they're not suitable for swimming due to the presence of potentially dangerous jellyfish (see "Health and Safety"). September can still be enjoyable, but the weather starts to be quite hot.
