What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel and driven to the airfield, where you'll board the aircraft for the scenic flight. Once airborne, the guide provides running commentary on the islands, waterways, and geological features passing below. The Horizontal Falls—a tidal phenomenon where water rushes between narrow gorges—is the tour's centrepiece; its intensity varies with tidal cycles, so the flight path adapts accordingly. The route sweeps across the Dampier Peninsula's isolated beaches and anchorages before returning to Broome. Total time is roughly 2.5 hours in the air, plus ground transport.
Good to know
Weather conditions may alter the flight route or departure time; poor weather triggers cancellation with a full refund or rescheduling. Tidal activity affects the Horizontal Falls' visibility—check conditions when booking. Minimum four passengers required. Infants under three sit on laps at no charge. Cancellations within 7 days incur significant fees. Dress for variable weather.
