Itinerary:
Valid for 01APR24-31MAR25:
Departing Broome, you fly north over king sound, home to Australia's largest tides and amongst the highest in the world. +Fly over Walcott Inlet estuary, the rarely seen Harding Range, and the impressive King Cascade on the Price Regent River, before landing at Mitchell Plateau, home to the Wunambal, Gaambera, Kwini and Balangarra. On arrival, you are met by your tour guide from Kingfisher Tours and board the 4WD coach that takes you down an eye-catching bush track surrounded by ancient livistona palms, to the Mertens campground (Ranger Base) and the start of the 4.5km Punamii-unpuu Hiking Trail. Along the way we can swim, explore and enjoy trail snacks at the Little Mertens Falls. You will be inspired and humbled by the mysterious ancient rock art found beneath the falls, featuring the mythical Gwion Gwion spirit figures. Next stop is the awesome Big Mertens Falls and the upstream crossing of the Mitchell River before arriving at the spectacular Punamii-unpuu (Mitchell Falls). Time to enjoy your gourmet picnic lunch, rest and swim. We then meet at the helipad for an exhilarating helicopter ride over the Falls back to base where we take the coach back to the airfield for a well-earned cold beer, wine or a cup of tea, before the homeward flight coastal southbound via Camden Sound, Montgomery Reef, Kuri Bay, Montgomery Reef, Horizontal Falls, Buccaneer Archipelago, Cape Leveque, James Price Point, Willie Creek and world-famous Cable Beach.

- The Horizontal Waterfalls is a natural phenomenon which is tide dependent with variable flow. Whilst the best is being done to arrive at a time of optimum flow, it cannot be guaranteed the amount or level of water flowing through the Horizontal Waterfalls at any given time. Whilst water is being provided throughout the tour, it is recommended bringing your own water bottle to keep you hydrated in the extreme Kimberly heat.
- Lunch tour is preferred but not always guaranteed.
Passenger weight:
- For safety and operational requirements Air Kimberly observes a maximum individual weight of 120kg per person for all scenic tours.
Luggage Restriction:
- Luggage is restricted to a maximum of 5kg per person.
- A small backpack or soft bag is recommended and will be stowed in the aircraft's luggage hold.
Aircraft:
- Typically a Cessna 210 or Cessna 206 is used, which are the ideal aircraft for Kimberley conditions. These are usually fitted with 5 passenger seats and have a high wing design, which creates greater stability and allows optimum viewing. This type of aircraft can also cover great distances very quickly, making them ideal for tours into even the most remote and often inaccessible Kimberley attractions.
