Detailed itinerary

1
Stop 1

Depart Broome and fly over Chinatown, Roebuck Bay and Malcolm Douglas Crocodile farm before heading towards the open landscape of the Kimberley.
Fly over the King Leopold Ranges which extend for 300km from Walcott Inlet in the west to approx. 100km from Halls Creek in the east. The ranges consist of long, rugged, spinifex-covered ridges and escarpments. Mount Ord at 947m above sea level and Mount Broome at 935m are the highest peaks in the range.
Land at Windjana Gorge Airstrip and take a short drive to the Gorge, where you will see a myriad of natural wildlife including the ever present stares of Windjana’s most revered occupant, Johnston’s Freshwater Crocodile. The walls of Windjana Gorge rise abruptly from the wide alluvial floodplain of the Lennard River, reaching approx.. 100m high in some places. The 3.5km long gorge cuts through the limestone of the Napier Range, part of an ancient barrier reef which can also be seen at Geikie Gorge and Tunnel Creek National Parks.

Stop 2

Depart Windjana Gorge for a short flight over the King Leopold Range to the remote Silent Grove Airstrip for another quick drive through the Kimberley outback dotted with many native boab trees, to Bell Gorge. Once at Bell Gorge carpark a short 1km walk will have you arrive at the top of the spectacular waterfall. This walk requires a medium level of fitness but is well worth it to arrive at the top of the waterfall, with a chance to swim, relax and enjoy the many amazing photo opportunities. For the daring, a further 1km walk will allow you to swim in the freshwater pool at the bottom of the waterfall.
Once you are feeling relaxed and refreshed from your swim at Bell Gorge, you then take off for another flight over the King Leopold Ranges into Mt Hart Station.

3

Arrive at Mount Hart Station for a gourmet lunch at the Homestead and a chance to wonder the grounds of the historic station.
Refreshed and re-energized you depart Mount Hart and the inland Kimberley landscape and head to the coastal areas.

4
Stop 4 Pass by

The Horizontal Waterfalls which are closely aligned between the gorges of McLarty Range in Talbot Bay soon come into sight. The aircraft is positioned, to receive the perfect view of this magnificent example of Mother Nature’s power which are a fast-moving tidal flow through two narrow fingers, the direction of the flow reverses with each change of tide. As tides in the Kimberley can reach ten metres, a peak tide gives rise to a significant difference in the sea level on either side of each gorge, which creates the rushing water of the Horizontal Falls.
Fly over Talbot Bay, the home of the famous Paspaley Pearling Empire, you can see the hundreds of long lines each housing the valuable creatures that cultivate the pearl. Your Pilot weaves through the islands of Cockatoo and Koolan (mining empires) and flys over Cape Leveque where the red rock cliffs meet the white sandy beaches and the pristine blue waters.

5

Land at Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm for Afternoon Tea with an outlook over the expansive King Sound.

6
Stop 6 Pass by

A 45min flight down the coast takes you past Lombadina, James Price Point, Sandy Bay, Beagle Bay and Willie Creek before winging gracefully back to Broome.
On arrival into Broome you are welcomed back to Broome Aviation’s departure lounge where your pilot will award you with a free gift and extra information about the tour before returning to your accommodation.
