We really wanted to see the Horizontal Falls and sightsee above Broome. We were wait listed to fly knowing that we needed 4 people to book. As our leaving date got closer the staff at Air Kimberly and the Cable Beach Club Resort and Spa pulled out all the stops to accomodate just us as a couple so that we could still go. We were picked up by Jensen and taken to the airport where we met our amazing pilot and host for the day Lachlan. He was an excellent pilot and gave us a real insight into the beauty of the area, his love of flying here, and what to expect next. The falls were amazing and along with the geology and seascape made the flight highly worthwhile. The trip to the Cygnet Bay pearl farm was fascinating as we got to see pearls being removed and new ones seeded. On our boat trip we saw lots of birds and sea life as well as experiencing the powerful tides and the whirlpools. Our boat captain also explained to us his families long connection to the region and his love of the area. A real highlight is landing and taking off from the airstrip at Cygnet bay

We had an excellent full day trip with another couple. Our pilot Daniel was very professional in his commentary, but also very friendly & so easy to get along with. Excellent service from Air Kimberley, right from the time they picked us at our accommodation, till the moment we were dropped back. Don’t leave Broome without such an experience in the air & on the ground.

Excellent day trip! You get to see so much and appreciate the scale of the Kimberleys and surrounds when seeing it by air.
Our pilot Freddie was fantastic, looked after us and provided information along the way. Professional, engaging, very thoughtful.
And Air Kimberley do a fabulous job with logistics, making sure you have the best experience. The whole group really appreciated the little touches which made the day so memorable, if only we’d been able to keep the water bottles. They were great!
Keep up the great work offering memorable experiences guys. I hope to return to do another trip.

We had an incredible day. This is a well run and well organised company.
The scenery is spectacular, seeing the horizontal falls and colours of the vast, unspoilt coastline was amazing.
Our pilot Freddie did an outstanding job. He was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We learnt a lot from his commentary about the area as we were flying.
The tour of the pearl farm was interesting and boat ride to the giant tides was fun.
Flying back down the coast you really appreciate the contrasting colours and amazing scenery around this beautiful part of the world. Overall it was just a brilliant day that we’ll never forget. This is definitely worth doing while you’re in Broome.
Highly recommend Air Kimberley and their fantastic team. Thanks Freddie for an unforgettable day.
