Travelers

The helicopter lifts you out of Broome and the coastline yawns open beneath you — ochre cliffs give way to green mangroves, then to the mosaic of islands in the Buccaneer Archipelago. By day two you’re on the deck of Cygnet Bay, the salt air carrying the faint machine-precision of pearl-farming and the promise of a seaplane run to the Horizontal Falls. Each transfer is a scene change: seaplane to boat, helicopter to fixed-wing, and at Mount Hart the outback feels large enough to hold a lifetime of stories.

Adventure Tips

Weight restrictions and bookings

Small aircraft require accurate passenger weights—provide yours when requested to avoid flight rebooking or refusal to board.

Hydrate for remote hikes

Carry at least 1–2 liters for short walks like Bell Gorge and Tunnel Creek; water isn’t always available at trailheads.

Footwear for mixed terrain

Wear sturdy, closed-toe hiking shoes with good traction for caves, slick rocks and short bush tracks.

Respect Indigenous sites

Follow guides’ directions at cultural sites, avoid photographing restricted areas and ask before touching artifacts or rock art.

History

The Kimberley’s coastline and gorges have long been home to Indigenous groups; Tunnel Creek is historically significant as a refuge used by Bunuba leader Jandamarra in the late 19th century.

Conservation

The region is ecologically sensitive—stick to trails, pack out waste and follow guides to minimize disturbance to fragile ecosystems and cultural sites.
