More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You lift from Broome and the coastline shrinks; the plane banks over the red cliffs of Cape Leveque, islands scattered like stamps on turquoise water. Minutes later the inland changes — spinifex ridges, boab-studded plains and the serrated silhouette of the King Leopold Ranges. The day stitches aerial theatre to short ground walks: Windjana’s limestone walls, the plunge pools at Bell Gorge and the breath-stopping sight of the Horizontal Falls.

Check tide timings before you go
Horizontal Falls’ spectacle depends on tide — confirm tidal activity with the operator as the flight path may reverse to match peak flow.
