From the historic foreshores of Roebuck Bay to the pristine waters of Cable Beach they will show you the authentic Broome that no other tours can offer.

Bart Pigram is a Yawuru man from the West Kimberley region of northwest Australia. Born and bred in Broome, Bart has a passion for telling the complete story of life in Broome. Drawing on knowledge gained from living a saltwater lifestyle as well as professional training as a curator, Bart started Narlijia Tours in 2015.

Narlijia means ‘true for you’ in the Yawuru (Australian Aboriginal) language reflecting Bart’s wish to tell the ‘entire’ story sharing his Aboriginal and multicultural perspective first hand.

Being part of the large Pigram-Puertollano-Minybal family, Bart belongs to a long tradition of pearling workers and musicians. This heritage enables Bart many rich and fascinating stories of life around the beautiful turquoise waters of Roebuck Bay, Broome.

Mangrove Discovery Experience

From $80 to $85

Broome’s mangroves provide a sheltered habitat for a wide variety of native and aquatic animals. Teeming with life, they are both feeding grounds and nurseries for fish, reptiles, frogs, molluscs, burrowing mud worms, various crustaceans, dugong and the occasional saltwater crocodile.

On the tour you will learn about the different types of mangrove in the mangrove forest. Experience the coolness of the forest and hear about the traditional indigenous uses of mangrove wood. At low tide the mangroves are alive with mudskippers, mudcrabs and a variety of birds. Possibly sample some of the bushtucker traditionally sourced from the mangrove forest, spot the different types of crab holes, and if you are lucky, you will taste a beautiful oyster fresh off the rock. The tour takes you into the bay through pools to Buccaneer rock where you will hear the Dreaming story of Randigunya the giant. Scour the mangroves for tasty morsels and see remnants of (Asian) fish traps and hear stories from a bygone era of Broome’s pearling days.
