About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- P1578PCterryr0 contributionsNo longer Pink. Ruined by flooding and mud.Pink Lake Hillier was devastated by mud and floods early 2022 and has turned brown. Experts say it may turn pink again in a couple of years but as yet hasn’t. It is a big secret in Esperance so don’t be fooled into paying to see it.Written 16 August 2023
- Marie-Claude L0 contributionsFantastic a must to doWe first saw the lake Lefroy, a big salted lake in all the mines area everywhere. Then the super pit mine with its 700 meters depth. It was so amazing. Then a look around Kalgoorlie city. Our pilot was very nice and gave us many explainations I highly recommend to do this tourWritten 25 January 2023
- Th0mS0 contributionsAmazing Sights - No Better Way To See Them!What a fantastic experience flying over the 'salty' Lake Lefroy & the amazing 'Super Pit' and the iconic township of Kalgoorlie. Ollie our pilot was lovely & we appreciated all of the information that he passed onto us. Could not recommend this flight more highly - 10/10.Written 6 June 2021
- mkd780 contributionsPraise and AdmonitionIt was a lovely flight with a breathtaking view and a very nice pilot on 17th March 2020 at 2pm!!! But unfortunately I'm still waiting for the refund of $15 as I was promised to the discounted price of $370 while I arranged/prepared the booking with Cheryl, but as she seems not to work at GAS anymore, the promise doesn't count anymore?Written 17 March 2020
- D8865UFpaulm0 contributionsBeautiful Views!This flight was everything I hoped and more! It was such a beautiful day and our pilot was so knowledgeable and friendly. We were even able to open the window as we passed the lake to get the perfect photo. So glad we did this and would highly recommend!Written 16 January 2020
- Zqxxx0 contributionsGreat!Enjoyable scenic flight over beaches, national parks, islands out to delicious Pink Lake Hillier on Middle Island. Skilled female pilot to calm any nervous Nellie's. A must do trip.Written 26 November 2019

- weeblesjd0 contributionsUnreal experience!My husband and I took the scenic flight from Esperance over Lake Hillier and absolutely loved the whole experience. It was a splurge, for sure, but the highlight of our time in this region. Cheryl, our pilot, was very communicative and accommodating from booking and throughout the excursion. She was professional and knowledgeable, so we felt very safe and informed. Each passenger was equipped with a headset so we could directly communicate with her throughout the flight, and she regularly checked in to assure our comfort. The trip not only flew over Lake Hillier but the stunning bays and national parks in the region, giving a fantastic overview and ideas of where to travel next. We would highly recommend this company and this tour specifically.Written 4 May 2019
- Tia M0 contributionsJust amazing!The flight was such a great experience. Lake Hilier is as beautiful as it looks in the photos, but the rest of the landscape is equally as impressive. The flight was great as it was long enough to take it all in, take plenty of photos. The pilot was amazing, very knowledgeable and made you feel comfortable on the flight. She was great for also giving interesting information about what you're seeing during the flight. Would highly recommend, well worth the money and would do it again!Written 22 April 2019
- abctravel1010 contributionsFantastic unique experience- highly recommendedWe had a fantastic flight to Lake Hillier (Pink lake) with Goldfields Air Services. We were very warmly greeted, and Dougal our pilot was hugely experienced. Pink lake really is a very unusual colour, and amazing to see it from the air. We also got some great birdseye views of the bush fires burning a Cape Le Grand. The highlight though for us was flying back along the coast and seeing the shark in the sea- and the emu's on the beach. Brilliant.Written 10 March 2019
- AjKamath0 contributionsHighly recommended experience!This one was definitely on my bucket list... and I’m absolutely thrilled that I checked it off. Lake Hillier was truly incredible and the photos you see on social media and print do no justice to the actual views #NatureAtItsBest Right from take off, you’re treated to stunning views of Esperance and the turquoise waters n white sand beaches of the Cape Le Grand - Cape Arid. The pilot Will, was very pleasant and friendly and made sure we were comfortable and understood everything about the safety and ensured we enjoyed the flight. He flew us around the lake and the island enough times and ensured everyone had good views on either side of the aircraft. The lake and the island is definitely a natural wonder - something worth investing on the experience. For me however, the added highlight was the fact that we spotted a massive shark in the water on the way back - and also a few dolphins! Absolutely amazing experience. Booking was easy - online or through the Esperance visitor center (super friendly staff). We took off on time and made it back after a very memorable and smooth flight of an hour and 40 mins. Definitely a must do when in Esperance!!Written 10 February 2019
- zhena0 contributionsAwesome!The highlight of our visit to Esperance. Stunning scenery. A pleasure to be flown safely by Will in a very comfortable aircraft. Highly recommend!Written 10 February 2019
- meggi2travel0 contributionsAmazing experience!Although I get nervous flying, I was determined to do this flight as I had heard the views were spectacular. I am so glad that I did the flight. It was incredible to fly over the vast coastline and to see the pink lake from the air was fantastic. The pilot was very good and knowledgeable about the area and make everyone feel comfortable. A must do.Written 12 January 2019
- Dave T0 contributionsMust do when in KalgoorlieOur Pilot was brilliant. We went over the Super Pit and were given loads of facts and figures and told about the history of Kalgoorlie. He was a font of knowledge. The flight was perfect in every way and really was a stunning experience.Written 17 April 2018
- Julius C0 contributionsGreat Big Pits Tour!!Awesome tour of the super pit from above in a very stylish aircraft. A must do when In Kalgoorlie!!!Written 16 April 2018

Excellent experience, so much fun.
We bought 2 super pit flights, as the plane is tiny and only flies 3 passengers at a time, but this adds to the excitement. We had a beautiful smooth flight and it really is the best way to see Kalgoorlie and the gold mine.
The pilot was also excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. He landed the plane without a bump and offered to take photos of us (on the ground!) for memories. Highly recommended.

I paid for 2 seats otherwise my flight wouldn't have gone ahead so I ended up with my own private aircraft experience.
It was a warm day so there were a few bumps during the flight and both the pilot and myself came off a bit flushed after the flight. During the flight great views of the Super Pit and surrounds as well as the town and suburbs.
The pilot and the ground crew were excellent throughout. Vikki was my contact person from the time of my booking and she also booked my 30 minutes Thunderstruck motorbike tour through Kalgoorlie and Boulder. The owner of the bike was also my excellent tour guide who was very happy to pass on his extensive knowledge of the town. I chose to do the motorbike tour before my flight so I just had to get to the airport to go on my bike tour then the flight. A great way to spend an afternoon.

We were unable to visit the Super Pit due to bad storms so were glad we had booked a scenic flight tour. Although when we arrived for our flight there was another thunderstorm looming, we were able to wait a couple of hours and complete the flight. Layla, our pilot, was great, extremely competent, friendly, reassuring and professional, the weather was perfect and we had spectacular views of the incredible pit. We would never have been able to appreciate the size of the pit from the ground, but soaring 3000 ft above it gave us a better idea.

Going in a Cessna like plane is an adventure on its own, but the view were breathtaking. It gives a different perspective of the scale of the Pitt.
The pilote was very friendly and gave us interesting information about the area, I really recommend it!

Lucky I phoned beforehand as the directions to the office on the ticket were incorrect. The person on the phone and in the office was extremely helpful. Our pilot was very knowledgeable and friendly. It was perfect weather and a smooth flight. It was fantastic seeing the super pit from the air, well worth it.

From the moment we decided to this activity to the moment it was over, the whole experience was brilliant!!! Our pilot (Layla) was professional, helpful and friendly. Flying over the pit at 3000ft gave us spectacular views as well as a better appreciation of the magnitude of this mine. Highly recommended.

Outstanding opportunity and service! Absolute must do when in Kalgoorlie. To view the super pit and the surrounding community from the air was beyond words. Safe, supportive and friendly pilot put the icing on the cake with this tourist activity.

Hi, We arrive from Perth by train at 2.00pm. Is this enough time for us to take bags to accommodation (Allora House) and get to airport to take this tour at 3.00pm. Thank you
