  • 5Wonderful Kimberley Experience!

    Highly recommend doing this tour! We had the best experience and it all started with Jensen picking us up in the mini bus to take us to the airport.. absolute legend! He was so knowledgeable about the area and is honestly the perfect way to start your day. We were then introduced to our pilot Adam, he was wonderful throughout the entire day, felt like someone you’d known for years. Shared his knowledge of different landmarks and scenery on the journey and made sure both sides of the plane had equal opportunity to take photos. So stoked we had him with us for the day! The day itself is incredible, picturesque! Stopping at Cygnet bay for lunch and a pearl farm tour was also a great experience. If you can, put this tour on your list, you won’t regret it.

  • 5An Absolute Bucket-List Experience ⭐️

    Honestly, one of the most amazing tours I’ve ever done. This is easily one of the best tourism experiences out there by a mile! From start to finish, everything was so well organised. The communication throughout the flight was fantastic - Kelley was constantly letting us know how far we were from the next attraction, giving us a heads-up when there was a bit of turbulence coming, and reassuring us that both sides of the plane would get amazing views. It made us feel really comfortable and meant we could just sit back and enjoy it. Our pilot Kelley was phenomenal. She was so professional, knowledgeable and friendly, and we all felt completely safe and comfortable with her. She really made the experience even better. The pickup from our Airbnb was also such a bonus! The briefing was great, everything ran smoothly, and then we were off. The scenery from the plane was absolutely unbelievable. I genuinely couldn’t believe some of the views we were seeing, it was spectacular. The stop at Cygnet Bay was another highlight. The tour was really interesting and informative, lunch was great, and then we had another beautiful flight back. Honestly, everything was perfect. From the transfers, to the communication, to the flight, the scenery and the Cygnet Bay experience - it was such a well put-together day. Couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough. One of the best experiences we’ve had, and definitely something we’ll never forget!

  • 5A 4WD will not take you there

    There are things that cannot be seen from the ground. You have to be in the air. Turquoise waters, red earth, and green vegetation in various combinations. Keeley was out pilot. Petit 20 something girl was in charge of 6 elderly men and women. There are two main destinations, the Horizontal Falls and a Pearl farm. The tour at the Sygnet pearl farm was educational and enjoyable.

    Absolutely wonderful day. Our pilot Keeley was amazing. She was ; professional in all her interactions with her passengers, very knowledgeable about what we were seeing, friendly, helpful and a delight to fly with. She’s a very professional and competent pilot - a great asset to the company.

    We had a truly amazing experience on this tour. The scenery was stunning and our pilot (Quinn) was very knowledgeable and super friendly. The stop at Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm was interesting and lunch was delicious. Honestly can’t recommend it enough.

About Broome

Broome is a pearling town on the Kimberley coast of Western Australia, known for camel trains on Cable Beach, red cliffs and enormous tides.

Broome sits on a red-earth peninsula between Roebuck Bay and the Indian Ocean, a pearling port since the 1880s whose Chinatown streets still hold pearl shops and old tin-roofed buildings. Divers from Japan, China, Malaya and the Philippines worked the luggers here, and the Japanese cemetery records the men who died at sea. Sun Pictures, an open-air cinema dating from 1916, still shows films under the stars.

Top-ranked sights in Broome: Cable Beach, Horizontal Falls, Gantheaume Point.
