Broome Scenic Helicopter Flight: Cable Beach & Broome Coast
5.0 / 5 · 89 traveler reviews
Discover Broome from a whole new perspective on this 30-minute scenic helicopter flight. After departing Broome, head north along the stunning coastline of Cable Beach, where 22 kilometres of white sand meet the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Your pilot will provide commentary sharing local knowledge along the way. Continue to Willie Creek, famous for its working pearl farm and remarkable tidal colours. From above, you'll see the intricate channels and sandbanks that make this part of the Kimberley so distinctive. Keep an eye out for saltwater crocodiles basking along the creek's edges. Follow the coastline back towards Broome and take in uninterrupted views of Cable Beach, the pindan cliffs of Gantheaume Point and the historic lighthouse perched above the shoreline. The contrasting colours of red earth, white sand and clear blue water are even more spectacular from the air. Relax, take in the scenery and enjoy one of the best views Broome has to offer.
