About this tour
Lift off from Broome for a 45-minute helicopter circuit tracing the coastline and inland waterways. You'll sweep low over Cable Beach, then head north across Willie Creek's pearl farms—watch for saltwater crocs in the shallows—before banking past wild horses on the flats. The route follows Barred Creek to Quandong Point's dramatic reef and red cliffs, then returns along the coast via Gantheaume Point lighthouse and Dampier Creek, with regular sightings of marine life in the shallows below.

What to expect
You'll board a small helicopter (maximum 3 passengers) and climb away from Broome township. The first leg follows Cable Beach's long arc northward, descending to tree-top height over Willie Creek's working pearl farms where geometric patterns mark tidal channels. Keep your camera ready for crocodiles basking in the shallows. Beyond the creek, the landscape opens into red flats dotted with feral horses before the cliffs at Quandong Point loom ahead. The return leg hugs the coast, passing lighthouse structures and cream-coloured beaches. Throughout, the pilot provides context via headset commentary. No landings occur—this is purely airborne observation.
