It was a great experience, beautiful views from the plane. Our pilot was informative. The day prior we had confirmation of pick up times, which was to the minute. Very impressed.
Was a fabulous tour with Blake the Pilot he was really knowledgeable . Seeing the landscape from the air gave you a magnificent view of the colours of green in the trees rust in the earth and aqua in the water just beautiful. Had a great lunch and Pearl Farm experience. Susan
Blake was good had a great day overall would recommend
Just book it…you won’t regret it! Felt safe with Nel and saw incredible views….great lunch and swim at Cygnet Bay with Pearl Farm talk very interesting.
I took the Horizontal Falls flight and tour to Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm. Air Kimberley we super professional throughout. I'm a solo traveller - so at times I found it hard to book tour due to a minimum number requirement. That was not the case with this company. Our pilot was friendly, approachable and very knowledgeable. I with the other passengers formed a bond and the was a success. Lunch was nice, the pearl farm experience was engaging - and the views during the flight were simply breathtaking. We were given complimentary gifts at the end and there was plenty of access to toilets and fresh water. Highly recommend!
It was a great experience with excellent by our pilot who explained points of interest along the way to the falls. I thought the Horizontal Falls may be covered in cloud but we flew well below the cloud and the sun actually shone through as we flew around. There was a barramundi lunch at the Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm before we flew back to Broome along the East coast of the Dampier Peninsula. It was well worth the money we paid for the day's adventure. Our thanks to Kimberley Air for making it such a memorable day.
It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Our two young pilots Freddie 1st Captain & Ben were gentleman and considerate & very professional. The take offs and landings were so smooth and the flying wonderful. The flight 2hrs to Cygnet Bay and 1hr back along the coast is full of incredible scenery of the vastness of Australia. The Cygnet Pearl farm tour led by local Terry was so informative! We even got to prize open an oyster to discover a valuable pearl. The only consideration that would be beneficial is to clearly state & show in a photo the size and dimension of the inside of the plane. It is quite tight & confined & may not be a fit for everyone, whether physically or for example someone with ‘claustrophobia’. All in all an exceptional tour!
We had an absolutely fantastic day with Fly Broome and couldn’t recommend the experience more highly. The flight over the Kimberley was breathtaking - seeing the coastline, waterfalls and remote landscapes from the air was something really special. One of the highlights was visiting the pearl farm at Cygnet Bay, which was fascinating and a beautiful place to stop. The whole day felt really well organised and relaxed. Our pilots, Aidan and Blake, were brilliant 1 friendly, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the region. They made the whole experience even better by pointing out landmarks and sharing insights about the Kimberley as we flew.A huge thank you to both of them!! 🙌🏼 Also a special mention also to Willie, who skipped the boat for us and was amazing. We were lucky enough to see dolphins, sharks and turtles, which made the day even more memorable. All in all it was a fantastic experience and one I would recommend to anyone visiting Broome. If you’re considering it, definitely do it…easily one of the highlights of our trip.
Picked by Ollie at our accommodation, we were driven to Fly Broome at the airport where we were met by our pilot Lachlan. After our introductions and safety briefing our group of 5 were off in his 7 passenger (including pilot) single engine planes. Lachlan provided interesting info as we crossed the Dampier Peninsula and across the King Sound. Then the sightseeing really became spectacular as we circled the falls several times at different altitudes and directions. Then it was off to Cygnet Bay. After a smooth landing on the red dirt airstrip, we were picked up in a van and driven off for a most interesting and educational tour of the pearl farm. The tour ended with an amazing fresh grilled barramundi lunch. After our trip back to the plane Lachlan flew us to some of the most amazing landscapes even in the midst of some island iron-ore mining communities. The trip ended with a fresh drink, a wet cold face cloth and debrief. Then the friendly Ollie took us back home. A trip I will remember forever, and not because my stubby holder :) Thank you Lachlan.
Absolute fantastic tour. Staff was amazing! Our pilot, Lachlan, was fun, informative and an excellent pilot. Stunning scenery and the Horizontal Falls were awe inspiring. The Cygnet Pearl farm tour was so nice. Lunch was delicious!
