Tour Highlights:
- Departure: Broome Airport – Your Journey Begins: Your journey starts with a complimentary pick-up from your accommodation and a scenic fixed-wing flight to Derby. Once in Derby, you’ll transfer to a helicopter for an unforgettable flight over the region. From the air, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of the Kimberley’s vast and unspoiled wilderness, setting the stage for the adventure ahead.
- Helicopter Lift-Off from Derby Airport: After touching down in Derby, you’ll transition to a low-level helicopter flight for a breathtaking ride across some of Australia’s wildest terrain. As the rotors spin up and you lift into the air, prepare to witness the Kimberley like few others ever will.
- Derby Mudflats – Giant Tides & Crocodile Country: Fly low over the enormous Derby mudflats, where the tides rise and fall by as much as 14 metres—the largest in Australia! Spot crocodiles sunning themselves along the banks and gaze at the hypnotic patterns sculpted by the ever-moving water.
- Kimbolton & McLarty Ranges – Earth’s Story in Colour: Soar across ancient escarpments stained red and orange by centuries of weathering. These dramatic ridges and ranges stand like silent sentinels, revealing the rugged spirit and geological history of the Kimberley.
- Talbot Bay & Horizontal Falls – A Natural Marvel in Motion: Next, circle the breathtaking Horizontal Falls, one of nature’s rarest tidal spectacles. Watch in awe as immense volumes of water surge through twin narrow gorges, creating the appearance of waterfalls turned sideways. It’s dramatic. It’s wild. It’s unforgettable.
- Montgomery Reef – The Reef That Rises: Then it’s on to the remarkable Montgomery Reef, a natural phenomenon where the ocean literally falls away to reveal a living reef teeming with life. Water cascades off the reef’s edges while turtles, rays, and reef sharks swim below—an otherworldly moment you’ll never forget.
- Houseboat Base in Talbot Bay & Morning Tea: After the first aerial portion of your journey, touch down at a remote floating houseboat in Talbot Bay and enjoy morning tea with a view. From here, your adventure continues on the water.
- Horizontal Falls Fast Boat Ride: Jump aboard a powerful custom-built vessel for an incredible ride through the Horizontal Falls themselves. Feel the rush as your captain expertly navigates the water, cruising through the iconic falls.
- Barramundi Lunch on the Water: Relax on our floating dining pontoon and enjoy a freshly cooked barramundi lunch, surrounded by the serene beauty of Talbot Bay’s dramatic cliffs and turquoise waters.
- Creek Systems & Island Cruising: Enjoy a slower pace as we explore the surrounding bays, mangrove channels, and untouched creek systems. This part of the journey reveals the still, silent side of the Kimberley—calm waters, ancient rock faces, and a chance to spot wildlife in their natural habitat.
- Marine Viewing & Shark Swim: Cap off your experience with a refreshing swim or snorkel in our marine viewing platform, where curious Tawny Nurse Sharks often pass by. Whether you stay dry on deck or take the plunge into the shark-free enclosure, it’s a unique and safe way to get close to these fascinating creatures.
- Return Helicopter Flight to Derby – Fixed-Wing Flight to Broome: Time to board your helicopter again for a final scenic flight to Derby, then board your return fixed-wing aircraft back to Broome. Watch the landscape unfold one last time as the Kimberley slowly slips away beneath you—leaving you with memories to last a lifetime.
