We did the Cygnett Bay Explorer with Air Kimberley and it was absolutely fantastic. We had our 12 and 10 year old with us and they catered well to the kids and gave us the most memorable experience! Many thanks to our pilot Hugh who was knowledgeable and fun and the boys loved the opportunity to be up front of the plane. Thanks again! Highly recommended. This trip is very well worth the money!

We had a most fabulous day with our very informative and knowledgeable pilot Mia. We had every confidence in Mia and her flying capabilities when she provided us with multiple views of some amazing sites. There were 4 of us adults travelling together and we all had a wonderful day. Flying over the Horizontal Falls and the Archipelago and all the beautiful islands was well worth the investment for a day tour in a small plane with multiple landings. Cygnet Bay Pearls was lovely and would have been perfect for a swim in their pool but we didn’t have enough time. Felt the boat tour was a bit too long and instead of regular stops, would have preferred to keep moving at a slow pace as it was really hot in the full sun. Flying low back along the coastline and landing at sunset was just perfect. Thank you Mia from the Rankin’s and the May’s.

My partner and I had booked to come to Broome for a long weekend but had been very busy in the lead up to the trip and therefore had not researched or booked anything until the week of. The staff at Air Kimberley were so accommodating and made every effort to get us onto a tour despite our tardiness. We booked the Cygnet Bay Explorer and were piloted by Lachlan. This was the PERFECT way to see and explore Broome when you don't have a lot of time to hire a car and drive yourself around. Lachlan made it even better with his personability and great knowledge of the tour and Broome. I am a nervous flyer and I felt completely comfortable during the flight thanks to Lachlan's attention to keeping me calm and relaxed. Couldn't recommend it enough!

5 out of 5. Air Kimberley, gave us an opportunity to see the spectacular Horizontal Falls and to learn about pearls at Cygnet Bay. From the on time pickup at our hotel to the smooth take off and landing by experienced pilot Lachlan, we had a great day out. Lachlan provided his friendly and expert commentary on what was happening in the air and the spectacular colours of the sea and the land we flew over, including Horizontal Falls and other spectacular locations. Lachlan explained the expanses of King Sound, and let us know when he spotted marine creatures below. When we were at Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm, Lachlan made sure that we were introduced to the tour guides from the pearl farm, and checked on us on a regular basis. The Pearl Farm tour guide Tamika was very knowledgeable and gave us plenty of interesting information on the cultured pearls, and an understanding of what is actually involved in this unique Aussie industry. We had the opportunity to learn how to grade pearls, and also to feel the texture of real pearls that had been cultured at the farm. Thank you again for a memorable day out exploring Broome and surrounds.

Our pilot Monica was great as she flew us over the sights and gave us plenty of info and history. Enjoyed the pearl farm tour and a nice barramundi lunch.

mattmY4063BF

So blessed to see more of the Wild West. Our pilot Lachlan Tinsel was fun and informative and a little bit kooky, but perfectly suited to the conditions. This was not a run of the mill daytrip. Man it was hot! The scenery is world class.

Thank you Nick for the amazing day out to Horizontally Falls and Cygnet Bay. It was so magical flying back as the sunset over the coastline. Not a fan of flying but you made me feel at ease the whole time.
