About this tour
Fly over the Broome Peninsula on a 30-minute helicopter circuit that sweeps past Cable Beach, Willie Creek's pearl farms, and the red cliffs of Gantheaume Point. Your pilot narrates the route, pointing out tidal patterns, saltwater crocodiles, and marine life in the shallows below. The full loop takes you across Roebuck Bay and past a string of beaches and landmarks before returning to your accommodation. It's a substantial aerial survey of the region's coastal geography without touching ground.

- Pearl farm patterns visible from above, shaped by tidal flows
- Saltwater crocodiles in Willie Creek
- 22-kilometre stretch of Cable Beach in a single sweep
- Red cliffs at Gantheaume Point and working lighthouse
- Marine life and shallow reefs spotting
- Roebuck Bay, seven beaches, and Dampier Creek circuit
What to expect
You'll be collected from your accommodation and taken to the airfield. Before boarding, expect to be weighed—aircraft weight limits are strict and strictly enforced. The pilot briefs you and you climb aboard a small helicopter, maximum three passengers per flight. The 30 minutes aloft is steady sightseeing: you'll bank over Cable Beach, follow the coastline north to Willie Creek, scan the pearl farm gridlines below, then swing back south past cliffs, beaches, and bays. The pilot provides live commentary on what's underneath. Bring sunglasses; the glare off water is intense.
