Adventure Tips
Carry a compact daypack
Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and a light wind layer—there’s little storage on the helicopter and you’ll want essentials for the land stops.
Weight and safety checks
Operators require passenger weights for aircraft balance—answer booking questions honestly and arrive early for check-in.
Hydrate before departure
Start the day with water and keep a refillable bottle; the remote climate and long day make dehydration a real risk.
Listen for cultural guidance
Follow guides’ instructions around rock art and sacred sites—these places have ongoing cultural significance to Traditional Owners.
