• 5Amazing Kimberley Experience

  We absolutely loved the whole experience. It is one of those places you need to see to believe. Pictures of it look amazing however they don’t do the Kimberley justice. The staff are awesome and very welcoming plus looked after us at every turn. Our pilot Adam was brilliant, and shared many interesting details of the area as we flew. Adam used all of our names in each conversation and was really invested in our enjoyment of the experience. Thanks Adam!

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.
