        Best pilot ever! Lovely flight!
        The tour was nice even so I was a bit disappointed by the weather. I was hoping for turquoise waters and red cliffs,but the sun refused to come out (wet season). The onluly day since we are here. When we booked, I had a feeling that we should have waited for antoher day, but it probably could have been the other way round as the weather is quite unpredictable atm. And we had more bad luck as our fist oyster at the pearlfarm was empty (but the second had a pearl and Noah let his sister take it out...broke my heart a little). Nevertheless the views were still beautiful and the flight was awesome, the pearlfarm was much better than any I've been to before. The best thing about the trip was the pilot George. What a lovely young man! He did his absolut best to make it a stunning experience, explained a lot, was lovely especially with the kids and very patient when they chattered on the headphones! With George by your side even the reluctant sun can't ruin the trip!!!! And the waterfalls surprised me! I thought we wouldn't have to go and see it, but as we went they were beautiful and even a little bit tuquoise! And George spotted a Dugong for us!!!!! A lovely flight experience!

        Embracing Broome in the wet season 😊
        Leisa was very accommodating picking us up from our accommodation and dropping us back to The Spinifex. Our pilot, Marius, was very informative and a great pilot. The view was next level! I have a better understanding of the work to grow a pearl!

        Excellent tour would recommend Marius as a pilot
        Excellent service, collected us from our hotel. Very good safety briefing. Marius was a fantastic pilot and very informative. I felt very safe while he was navigating. Cygnet pearl farm was very educational. Lunch there was beautiful.

        Fabulous experience!!
        The Incredible Islands Tour in Broome by Broom Aviation was an unforgettable experience. The stunning aerial views of Horizontal Falls and the breathtaking coastline were definitely the highlights, and visiting Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm was both fascinating and educational. Our pilot, Marius, added so much to the journey with his expert knowledge and engaging commentary. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore the Kimberley region with amazing scenery and an insightful guide!

        Beautiful Scenery
        Flight and captain was fabulous. Headsets were not overly clear and we couldn’t talk to each other until the end of the flight which made it hard keeping an eye on my mums wellbeing. Other than that we had an amazing time and would 100% recommend

        Highlight of our trip to Broome
        We had a fabulous day with spectacular views over the coast and inland. The views over the horizontal falls were amazing and we flew low making many sweeps past. We were collected promptly from our hotel and driven to the airport where we boarded a small 6 seater with our pilot Mac. Mac explained everything, including the cloud patterns and our course. We landed smoothly on a bright orange dirt track without a single bump and were collected by a van and driven to the pearl farm. Unfortunately we had to sit outside instead of inside to have lunch at the pearl farm and it was 35 degrees. The restaurant was empty but we were told they were setting up for a dinner function. The pearl farm tour was very interesting and our guide was lovely and very friendly. Our flight back over the coast with all the colors of the land again was amazing. Flying over Cable beach at sunset and seeing the camels was a lovely last treat.

        Nice tour in a very old airplane
        We had a quiet flight. The young pilot flew carefully and avoided a thunderstorm cell. However, with 4 passengers it was very cramped in the cabin. The cabin made a shabby impression. The paneling was defective and dirty in many places. Not all passengers could speak to the pilot via the microphone. The scenery was spectacular. The pilot constantly informed us about the sights. A visit to the Sygnet Bay Pearl Farm is definitely worthwhile. A detailed tour provides information about the history and cultivation of this farm. We were particularly impressed by the ecological aspect of the mussels. The whole experience was rounded off with a delicious lunch.

      Yesterday, my wife and I had a truly memorable and marvellous experience, with our pilot Hylton, who kept us amused and informed from 7am until 5pm. We had an early hotel pickup at 6:15am and the Broome Aviation team had complimentary snacks available whilst we had a safety briefing before departure. We had two fellow passengers in a Cessna 210, so it was almost fully loaded. Nevertheless, we spent almost 6hrs in flight during the full day tour, all in relative comfort.

      Our first leg was to Mount Hart, where we had a substantial cooked breakfast, before our main flight up to the Mitchell Falls. We circled the falls in both directions, which provided excellent photo opportunities from both sides. We then flew back via the Horizontal Falls, with similar rotations, then onward to land at Cygnet Bay for lunch and a tour of the pearl farm.

      The last leg of our journey was from Cygnet Bay back to Broome Airport, following the coast for crocodile, shark and whale spotting. Unfortunately, we had no confirmed sightings, but that did not spoil our enjoyment of the beautiful scenery.

      Throughout the entire day, our pilot Hylton kept us informed and entertained, with historical, geographical and legendary information. All passengers had headphones, with microphones, so we were all able to communicate as a group, when it was safe to do so.

      Viewing such magnificent scenery from the air is an unmissable experience and we saw so much more from height than we would have done had we toured the area at sea or ground level (cruising or land vehicle).

      The landscape constantly changed and it was fascinating to see how the geography transitions through multiple forms that have been developing for millions of years. We loved every second of our almost 11hrs in their capable hands (and aircraft).

      We thoroughly recommend both this extensive tour and Broome Aviation, as the service provider. The team’s friendly and committed service made yesterday a day we will never forget. Thank you all.

      Had a great time with Craig our pilot. He was a great host and showed us some amazing sites. Our lunch was beautiful and we got to see everything in the brochure. My only criticism would be the age and condition of the plane we were in. It was a Cessna and very small, which we expected and didn’t mind, but the inside was falling apart and the I don’t know how Craig is expected to fly this plane with a windscreen that you can hardly see out of. Surely with all the flights you do and the price you charge you could at least make the interior of the plane much nicer.

      We were picked up promptly at our hotel by our driver and whisked away to the Broome Airport where we boarded our light aircraft for our flight. Our pilot was Ethan, who was extremely professional and ensured we were well accomodated throghout our journey in the many roles he fulfilled (pilot, tour guide and off road driver extraordinaire). We were priveliged to see some of the most breath taking sights available in all of Australia, followed by a delicious lunch at Cape Leveque. We then had a swim and took in more sights before returning to Broome in the afternoon. Absolutley worth the trip....Amazing experience, will not disappoint.

      We booked a private tour for the 5 of us. The bus picked us up from our accommodation at 630am. We received a snack box & a briefing from our pilot Edward before taking off to see Mitchell Falls, Horizontal Falls & a stop at the Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm for a land based tour & lovely lunch.

      Edward was the best! So professional, friendly, great sense of humour & most importantly, a very skilled pilot for the Cessna.

      It was cramped on the plane of course but the seats were comfortable.

      I’d recommend Broome Aviation.

      I'd been researching wet season waterfall fights since late 2022. Actually had a tentative discussion going with another operator to see if we could get to Mitchell Falls. Flooding this year. All flights like this are weather-dependent. We are only 2, with our only time off approved in late March - not April when the season kicks off. Both companies were hedging our expectations about meeting the minimum passenger limit of 4.

      I found Broome Aviation later in my research. Funnily enough, I'd started by asking Broome Visitor Centre. Their response, despite a few threads in the very quiet Broome forum telling people to just reach out already, was notably non-committal. Again, it was early this year, there was a natural disaster, the main season starts April 1.

      Then they revamped their website sometime in February, and Broome Aviation popped up with a Mitchell Falls online inquiry option, yes in March!

      But it was also very tentative for all the reasons above.

      This was very bucket list, and by far up there with the most money I've spent on an experience (ballooning over the Masai Mara, do it!), so I tamped down my introvert impatient and tapped into assertive action. The week before, I was on the Rottnest Ferry emailing both companies. There was quite a bit of deposit money at stake, insurance or no.

      The day we landed in Broome, we had a contact saying 2 more passengers might be interested in upgrading to Mitchell Falls. Due to the indirect visitors center booking, and hashing out the others' availability and booking, it was another 16 hours to hash out final payment and confirm the schedule.

      Then! We had an amazing day. The falls were MOVIN'! How lucky were we!

      Kalen the pilot, Siggi on phones, and Michael? As ground crew were all super nice. The breakfast was great, eggs and all. We also got a morning tea snack box to keep us going while we zipped over what seemed like several wild waterfalls, before checking out Horizontal Falls and the tidal whorls from above. Good info the whole way from the pilot and we learned a lot.

      The Cessna 210 was as comfortable as expected. While it wasn't the highlight, Cygnet Bay was interesting, and lunch was solid. Coming back over the Buccaneer Archipelago and Dampier Peninsula was a smooth ride between stunning afternoon rainstorms. Really enjoyed our day.

      I brought my travel binocs and they added to the fun. I have to be a little careful with motion sickness after a while, due to the way the plane banks over each site to get closer views. There's a seat back routemap to follow along, plenty of water bottles, and we could ask questions or just chat over the headset between aviation tasks. We were kept informed about time between restrooms, as well as the conditions and our flight altitude. It's warmer down low, but headwinds make it necessary sometimes.

      Above all (hah): we spent an entire day suspended above stunning natural country. Worth a few phone calls!

      *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
