Select participants and date
Broome’s rugged coastline unfurls beneath you as the helicopter lifts off from Gus Winckel Drive, beginning a 45-minute flight that reveals Australia’s northwest in a panoramic spectacle. The pilot curves low over the famous 22-kilometer stretch of Cable Beach, where white sand daringly meets the Indian Ocean’s sapphire sweep.

The beach’s breadth offers more than just sand; at times, curious dolphins glide near the surf, while whales make seasonal visits that accentuate the marine ballet.
