Itinerary:
Valid for 01APR25-31MAR26:
Departing Broome, we track North across King Sound, home to Australia's largest tides, fly over Walcott Inlet, the rarely seen Harding Range, and the Prince Regent River, before landing at Mitchell Plateau airstrip. On arrival into Mitchell Plateau, after a refreshment stop, experience driving along one of the most remote Kimberley tracks in your comfortably airconditioned 4WD through the vast ancient Livistona Palm forest to the Mertens campground for your scenic helicopter transfer to Mitchell Falls with our tour partner HeliSpirit.
Enjoy amazing scenic views of Mitchell Falls and Mertens Gorge from above on an exhilarating helicopter flight. On arrival at Mitchell Falls, enjoy an unforgettable view of Mitchell Falls whilst you enjoy a packed lunch, refreshing swim, rest and rejuvenate. After exploring the falls, a refreshing swim and many photo opportunities, enjoy a return scenic helicopter flight back to the camp ground for the drive back to Mitchell Plateau airstrip. After arriving back at the airfield, enjoy some well-earned refreshments before the homeward flight. On the homeward flight, we track the coastline past Kuri Bay, home to the Paspaley Pearl Farm and the beautiful Montgomery Reef. Fly over Horizontal Waterfalls described by Sir David Attenborough as the 8th Natural Wonder of the World. Marvel at the stunning Buccaneer Archipelago and it's 1,000 islands and the stunning northern tip of the Dampier Peninsula, Cape Leveque. Coastal return flight along the bays and beaches of the Dampier Peninsula with views of Beagle Bay, James Price Point, Willie Creek Pearl Farm and world-famous Cable Beach as the sun sets over the Indian Ocean. Please also note that should the Mitchell Falls cease to flow we may suspend the remainder of the Mitchell Falls tour season schedule. The Horizontal Waterfalls is a natural phenomenon which is tide dependant with variable flow. We cannot guarantee the amount or level of water flowing through the Horizontal Waterfalls when overflying due to the structured tour schedule.

- The Horizontal Waterfalls is a natural phenomenon which is tide dependent with variable flow. Whilst the best is being done to arrive at a time of optimum flow, it cannot be guaranteed the amount or level of water flowing through the Horizontal Waterfalls at any given time. Whilst water is being provided throughout the tour, it is recommended bringing your own water bottle to keep you hydrated in the extreme Kimberly heat.

Passenger weight:
- For safety and operational requirements Air Kimberly observes a maximum individual weight of 120kg per person for all scenic tours.
Luggage Restriction:
- Luggage is restricted to a maximum of 5kg per person.
- A small backpack or soft bag is recommended and will be stowed in the aircraft's luggage hold.
Aircraft:
- Typically a Cessna 210 or Cessna 206 is used, which are the ideal aircraft for Kimberley conditions. These are usually fitted with 5 passenger seats and have a high wing design, which creates greater stability and allows optimum viewing. This type of aircraft can also cover great distances very quickly, making them ideal for tours into even the most remote and often inaccessible Kimberley attractions.
