Flew into the Bungles with Aviair. They could not have been more professional- big thanks to Leah and her Aviair team and shout out to Rowan, Dil and Bec. They really went above and beyond for us.
This was a wonderful tour. You learn so much about the area with the flight and the actual tour itself. Food was delicious and plentiful . The drivers, pilots and guides were all friendly.
Absolutely amazing worth every cent. Our pilot was Rebecca she was so knowledgeable and an excellent pilot she is the best lander I’ve ever flown with. Everyone there was professional and accommodating great job. Would fly again in a heartbeat
From our dawn flight into the Bunle Bungles, to Elisa's wonderful and insightful commentary and driving and then Clint's flight back to Kununurra, everything was perfect👌
Brilliant day, our pilot Matthew and guide Tony at the Bungles were excellent, a credit to the company. A tour not to be missed.
The flight out to the Bungles was amazing and very informative with Clint. Our guides on the ground were fantastic, thanks Kayla and Tony. The walk is easy and learn how fragile the domes are. Recommend if you have the funds
Right from the pick up we were cared for in a professional , relaxed and entertaining manner . Attention to detail by our pilot Clint meant that we had amazing views , entertaining information and a safe and comfortable flight. Pete and Corey guided us on our walk with kindness and good humour. We felt so fortunate to have access to their local knowledge and passion for this unique place. The food was awesome and Clint even took sunset photos for us after our flight home . Thank you to all involved . Highly recommend this all day , small group experience .
Fantastic experience. We loved the tour and it was amazing to walk amongst the Bungle Bungles after flying over them. The only criticism we have is that we only had headphones on the return trip. On the way there we couldn’t understand the commentary without them. Also the walking group was too large. The guide Pete handled it well but it wasn’t as good an experience with so many people for the guests.
The flight with Aviair was spectacular before we’d even landed. Flying over the Ord River & Lake Argyle, the pilot’s commentary was engaging and genuinely informative. The beehive domes coming into view from the air is one of those moments that just stops you. Cathedral Gorge was quietly magnificent — a sweeping natural amphitheatre carved from sandstone, with morning tea in the cool of the gorge a lovely touch. Echidna Chasm was a standout. Our guide Pete was fantastic, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The walk narrows to barely shoulder-width, and looking straight up to a sliver of blue sky above glowing orange rock is genuinely awe-inspiring. A picnic lunch in the chasm was decadent. End of day drinks at Savannah Lodge was the perfect end to a big day. A must do day trip & worth every cent.
What an incredible day! Matthew flew us down to the Bungles and back, providing really informative commentary as we went. The views over Lake Argyle and the Bungles are something that photos just can’t capture. Once on the ground, Pete was our guide for the day. His first day back for the season and his excitement was infectious. Pete’s commentary on the bus and during our walk was fantastic and he was happy to answer any questions. Cathedral gorge and the whole walk was stunning. Lunch, provided and carried on the walk into the gorge, was lovely. Can’t recommend this experience enough. This is such a special part of Australia to visit. Thanks to all for an amazing day.
Thank you for sharing such a fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear you had an incredible day exploring the Bungles. Matthew will be delighted to know his commentary and flying made the journey memorable, and Pete will appreciate your kind words about his guiding - his enthusiasm really is infectious. Cathedral Gorge, the walk, and the views are truly special, and we’re so glad the experience exceeded expectations. Thank you for recommending us and for joining this unforgettable adventure.
