About this tour
Fly into Western Australia's Buccaneer Archipelago to witness the Horizontal Waterfalls—tidal surges that sweep between ancient islands. This six-hour expedition combines aerial views of the Dampier Peninsula's pearling farms and Cable Beach with a landing at Cygnet Bay, where you'll tour a working pearl farm, swim in the on-site pool, and eat lunch overlooking the water. You return by coastal flight tracing bays and beaches back to Broome.

What to expect
You'll start with a light meal before boarding a small aircraft for the flight north. Once airborne, the Buccaneer Archipelago unfolds below—1,000 islands scattered across turquoise water. The Horizontal Waterfalls themselves are tide-dependent; depending on timing, you may see dramatic water flows or calmer passages. At Cygnet Bay, a guide walks you through pearl cultivation methods, then you have time to swim and eat lunch at their beachside restaurant. The return flight retraces the coast, offering another chance to spot pearling operations and pristine shoreline. Total travel time is included in the six hours.
Good to know
Water flow through the Horizontal Waterfalls varies with tides—you won't see the same volume every visit. Maximum passenger weight is 120kg. Advise dietary needs in advance. Not suitable if you have cardiovascular concerns. Infants must sit on an adult's lap.
