What to expect
You'll be picked up from your accommodation and transferred to the helipad. After a safety briefing and weight check (essential — the aircraft has strict limits), you'll board with up to two other passengers. The flight climbs away from Cable Beach at low altitude, giving unobstructed views of the sand and shallows below. You'll cruise north along the coast, crossing the pearl farm at Willie Creek with its distinctive tidal patterns, then head inland over the flats where wild horses graze. The route continues past Barred Creek to Quandong Point, where you'll see the reef and towering cliffs before turning back towards Cable Beach. On the return, the pilot will navigate over Dampier Creek, Reddell Beach, Entrance Point, Simpsons Beach, Town Beach and Broome Jetty, finishing over Roebuck Bay. Throughout, the in-flight commentary points out landmarks and wildlife. The whole flight lasts 45 minutes of actual airtime. You'll land back at the helipad and be driven back to your hotel.
