Horizontal Falls Helicopter Adventure from Broome

4 hours to 1 day

Overview

This is a full-day Kimberley sightseeing trip from Broome that packs a lot into one booking. You’ll start with a fixed-wing flight to Derby, then switch to a helicopter for aerial views over the mudflats, Talbot Bay, the Kimbolton ranges and Horizontal Falls. On the water, the day includes a powerboat ride through the falls, a more relaxed creek cruise and time at a floating pontoon for lunch. It’s a high-price, all-in day rather than a budget activity, but it covers flights, transfers and several different ways to see this remote part of the Kimberley.

Why backpackers love it

If you’re in Broome for a short time and want to see a remote part of the Kimberley without organising separate flights, boats and transfers, this keeps it simple. The mix of scenic flying and on-water action makes it feel like more than just a sightseeing trip, and the included lunch and accommodation transfers help justify the price. It won’t suit a tight backpacker budget, but for travellers splashing out on one big regional experience, it covers a lot in a single day.

What to expect

You’ll be picked up from your accommodation in Broome and transferred for your departure. The day begins with a scenic fixed-wing flight to Derby, followed by a helicopter flight out over the Kimberley landscape, with every passenger getting a window seat and commentary from the pilot. After the flight section, you’ll head onto the water for the faster powerboat run through Horizontal Falls, then slow things down with a cruise through nearby creeks and secluded bays with guide commentary. At the floating pontoon, lunch is included, along with access to the marine viewing platform and a swim opportunity in a shark-free enclosure before returning.
