Which Broome flight is yours?
Four helicopter flights leave Broome, and they are not versions of each other — they cover different ground. A quick loop over Cable Beach. The same flight with a stop at Willie Creek’s pearl farm. A half day to Eco Beach with lunch. Or the long Kimberley day to Cygnet Bay. Pick what matters most and we will point at one.
See it before you book
What Cable Beach and the Kimberley look like from the air
Two different flights, filmed. The short hop stays low over Cable Beach, Gantheaume Point and Roebuck Bay. The Kimberley routes climb higher and further out, over the Buccaneer Archipelago and the Horizontal Falls, where a helicopter or a scenic aircraft is the only way to see the coastline.
Helicopter, or scenic flight
The short flight, the pearl farm combo, and the long Kimberley day
Three different days, and most people book before they compare them. The short flight covers Cable Beach in half an hour. The pearl farm combo adds a working farm tour on the ground. The long Kimberley day reaches the Buccaneer Archipelago and costs the most time and money.

Verdict
Book the pearl farm flight
It is the shortest flight that also puts you on the ground, and that is the whole decision. The thirty-minute flight covers Cable Beach and turns straight back. The extra $137 adds a guided tour of the Willie Creek pearl farm. Rated 5.0 across 31 reviews, the most of any Broome helicopter flight, it is the one to start with before weighing a longer Kimberley day.
Check dates and availability→Before you book
Two Broome routes fly by plane
Four of the thirteen trips here use a helicopter: the short Cable Beach flight, the pearl farm combo, the Eco Beach lunch flight and the Cygnet Bay day. The Buccaneer Archipelago and Bungle Bungle routes use a fixed-wing scenic aircraft instead, and the Dampier Peninsula day only adds a flight if you choose that option at booking. All three still show the Kimberley coast from the air — only the aircraft underneath changes.
Before you book
Which Broome flight fits your day?
Three things decide it: how long you have in Broome, what you want to see from the air, and how much of the day you want to give it. Answer three questions and find out before you pay rather than at the helipad.
How long are you in Broome?Kimberley rain can shift plans, and a spare day adds options
How do you feel about small aircraft?Most first-time flyers feel differently by the time they land
What do you want out of the day?This is the only real variable here
Answer the three questions above
You’ll get the one that fits your answers, and the thing about it that catches people out.

What it really costs
What a Broome helicopter flight costs, tier by tier
This is the part no operator page adds up for you. A thirty-minute flight starts at $347. Add the pearl farm and it is $484. The long Kimberley days that reach the Buccaneer Archipelago or the Bungle Bungles run into four figures.

Costs the listing doesn't show you
- The cheapest listing on this page is not a flight. The crocodile park tour costs $59 with transfers included; the cheapest helicopter flight is $347.
- Quoted hours are not all flying time. The Bungle Bungle day runs eleven hours, and a guided walk through Cathedral Gorge and transfers take up a large share of it.
- Three of the four helicopter flights land. The pearl farm, Eco Beach and Cygnet Bay flights all stop on the ground; only the short Cable Beach hop stays airborne throughout.
- The scenic flights are not helicopters. The Buccaneer Archipelago and Bungle Bungle trips fly in a fixed-wing aircraft, which is why they cover so much more distance in a day.
What is genuinely included
- Hotel pickup on the Cable Beach, pearl farm, Eco Beach and Dampier Peninsula bookings
- A small group in the aircraft, not a full coach load
- A guided stop at a working pearl farm, on two of the four helicopter flights
- Morning tea or lunch on the longer Kimberley and Dampier Peninsula days
- Free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure, on the listing’s own terms
The honest answer
Is a Broome helicopter flight worth the extra cost?
Three hundred and forty-seven dollars for thirty minutes, next to a camel ride at $101 and a crocodile park tour at $59 — so the question is fair. What the flight buys is Cable Beach, Willie Creek and the Kimberley coast from the air, which none of the boats or the ground tours can show you.
What makes it worth it
- Cable Beach, Willie Creek and the Kimberley coast, seen from the air and nowhere else
- All four helicopter flights here are rated 5.0, across every one of them
- Pickup is included on the short flight and the pearl farm combo
- The pearl farm combo adds a working farm tour on the ground, not just a flyover
- Free cancellation up to 24 hours, so an early booking costs nothing
Keep in mind
- Only four of the thirteen listings here are a helicopter; two more are a scenic plane
- Eco Beach and Cygnet Bay are newer routes, with four and six reviews so far
- Kimberley routes need a full flying day; the short Cable Beach hop does not
- The wet season can move a booked Kimberley flight to another day
- The longest Kimberley days run past a thousand dollars, an 11-hour commitment
The day, hour by hour
A Broome helicopter flight, from pickup to touchdown
Keep a spare window
The Kimberley has a wet season, and flights can be rescheduled. Free cancellation up to 24 hours means an early booking costs nothing.
Pickup in Broome
Both the short flight and the pearl farm combo include pickup, so there is nothing extra to arrange before the helicopter.
Cable Beach from the air
The flight itself follows the coast — Cable Beach and Willie Creek, on the way to the pearl farm.
Landing at Willie Creek
The guided tour of the pearl farm follows the flight — on the ground, shell to showroom, not from the air.
Back in Broome
Four hours door to door for the flight and the pearl farm together; the short flight on its own is back on the ground in well under an hour.
Best time of day
Fly early, save sunset for the camel ride
Broome mornings are usually the calmest and clearest time to fly, before the day’s heat builds haze along the coast, which is when the long Kimberley routes are least likely to feel bumpy. If you would rather see the colour at the end of the day, that is what the sunset camel ride on Cable Beach is built for — it runs in the evening, while the helicopter and scenic flights here fly earlier in the day.
On the ground
What Broome and the Kimberley actually look like
The coast, from above
Cable Beach's edge, where the sand and the turquoise water meet.
Red and turquoise
Ochre cliffs and turquoise water, the colours every flight here promises.
Tidal channels
Mangrove creeks and channels that only really read from the air.
The Bungle Bungles
Striped sandstone domes, reached only by the longest scenic flights from Broome.
What it's like
Broome from the air, and the twelve trips that are not a flight
Most people arrive expecting one photograph: red cliffs, turquoise water, a helicopter door open to the coast. This page alone covers thirteen ways to reach it — from a thirty-minute flight to an eleven-hour day deep in the Kimberley.
Only some of it happens by helicopter. Search “helicopter Broome” and the results mix two different aircraft together, but just four of the thirteen listings here actually fly by helicopter: the short Cable Beach hop, the Willie Creek pearl farm combo, Eco Beach, and the long day to Cygnet Bay on the Kimberley coast.
The other two flights — to the Buccaneer Archipelago and the Bungle Bungles — go by fixed-wing scenic aircraft, not helicopter, because the Kimberley distances are too long for a helicopter day to make sense. Both stop on the ground: one at Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm, the other for a guided walk through Cathedral Gorge.
The Dampier Peninsula day sits between the two. It drives out from Broome with an optional scenic flight built in, which makes it the closest thing here to a day trip from Broome that reaches the Kimberley coast without committing to an aircraft at all.
The camel ride, the cruises and the crocodile park never leave the ground. Search “camel tour Broome” and you land on the same sunset ride booked here, alongside cruises for snubfin dolphins, humpback whales and the coast’s dinosaur footprints, and a crocodile park with transfers included both ways.
None of this is a private helicopter charter Broome visitors book for an afternoon to themselves, and it is not a helicopter hire Broome pilots quote by the hour. Every flight on this page is a shared, guided seat with a fixed price, booked the same way as the boats and the camel ride.
Among the helicopter services Broome lists for travellers, these are the ones bookable online rather than arranged at the helipad. If you are driving the long way, on an Exmouth to Broome tour up the coast, the flights here make a stop worth timing rather than a trip in themselves.
The niche is small: the four helicopter flights carry a little over a hundred reviews between them, and Kimberley rain in the wet season genuinely moves bookings rather than being a waiver formality. The plan that works for most visitors is not one big Broome day trip but two — a short flight early, then a longer Kimberley day or a cruise once the first one is behind you.
While you're in Broome
Three things to do on the day you don’t fly
Keep a spare half day in Broome for the Kimberley’s rain, and there is plenty to fill it: a crocodile park with transfers included, camels on Cable Beach at sunset, and a cruise through Roebuck Bay looking for snubfin dolphins — none of it touches an aircraft.

Plan a Broome helicopter flight
Five things decide how the day goes: which flight matches your budget, what a scenic flight adds over a helicopter, when to book in the wet season, and what a day trip from Broome by boat or camel ride gives you instead of a flight.
Cable Beach, 30 minutes
The shortest flight on this page: Cable Beach, Gantheaume Point and Roebuck Bay in half an hour, from $347.
The Willie Creek pearl farm combo
A Cable Beach flight followed by a guided tour of a working pearl farm, about four hours in total.
Eco Beach
A coastal flight south to Eco Beach, with free time on the sand and an ocean-view lunch included.
Cygnet Bay
The longest helicopter day here: the Horizontal Falls and the historic Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm on the Kimberley coast.
The Buccaneer Archipelago
A half-day scenic flight, not a helicopter, over the Horizontal Falls with a stop at Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm.
The Bungle Bungles
The longest day of all: a scenic flight to Purnululu and a guided walk through Cathedral Gorge.
Pickup covers most bookings
Hotel pickup comes with the Cable Beach, pearl farm, Eco Beach and Dampier Peninsula flights; check your own listing before booking a taxi.
Groups stay small
Every helicopter flight and both scenic flights here fly with a small group, not a full coach load.
The longer days feed you
Cygnet Bay, the Buccaneer Archipelago, the Bungle Bungles and the Dampier Peninsula day all include a meal; the short Cable Beach hop does not.
Two flights cover Cable Beach
The short flight and the pearl farm combo both fly over Cable Beach; the difference is the landing at Willie Creek afterwards.
The boats and the camel ride are not flights
They are the alternative when a flight is booked out or the Kimberley weather has other plans.
Reviews here are modest, not padded
The four helicopter flights carry a little over a hundred reviews between them; the busiest listing on the page is the sunset camel ride, at 275.
The pearl farm combo books first
It carries the most reviews of the four helicopter flights and the site’s top pick badge, so summer mornings go first.
Check what the hours include
Quoted durations cover the flight, any stop on the ground and the drive to the helipad, not only time in the air.
One price, wherever you book
The GetYourGuide listing, the operator’s own desk and a hotel concierge quote the same fare; booking ahead buys the seat, not a discount.
Book the Kimberley days with room to spare
The Buccaneer Archipelago and Bungle Bungle flights are the ones Kimberley rain is most likely to reschedule.
The short flight turns over fastest
At thirty minutes, the Cable Beach flight is usually the easiest of the thirteen to fit into a short stay.
Read the listing’s own cancellation window
Cutoffs vary by trip; the listing states the exact number of hours, worth checking before you assume it is the same everywhere.
Broome sits on the Kimberley coast
Cable Beach, the airport and most hotels are a short drive apart, and pickup is included on several listings here.
Two seasons, not four
The Kimberley runs a dry season and a wet season rather than four; flights lean on the dry months, covered in Best time below.
The Dampier Peninsula day stays on the ground
Its scenic flight is optional, which makes it the pick for the Kimberley without committing to an aircraft.
Willie Creek and Cygnet Bay are two different pearl farms
Willie Creek pairs with the short Cable Beach flight; Cygnet Bay sits further up the Kimberley coast on the long day.
The Bungle Bungles are the outlier
Purnululu is the furthest and longest day on this page, and it flies as a full-day scenic flight, not a helicopter.
Cable Beach still works if nothing flies
The camel ride, the cruises and the crocodile park run from Broome itself, so Kimberley weather does not touch them the way it can a Kimberley flight.
Best time
When to fly over Broome and the Kimberley
Flights run all year, and the operators are upfront that Kimberley rain can move a booking. What changes month to month is how likely a long Kimberley route is to fly as scheduled, and how full Broome gets.
Jun – Aug
Dry season, best flying
Kimberley winter: cool, mostly clear mornings and the steadiest conditions of the year for a scenic flight. This is when the long Kimberley routes to the Buccaneer Archipelago and the Bungle Bungles are most likely to run as booked.
May & Sep
Shoulder dry season
Still inside the dry season, with warmer days than the winter peak and fewer visitors in Broome. Flights run on the same schedule, and Cable Beach and the pearl farm are both good picks.
Oct – Nov
Build-up
Heat and humidity climb ahead of the wet season. Flights still run over Cable Beach and the coast, and the cooler early mornings stay the more comfortable time to fly.
Dec – Apr
Wet season
Kimberley wet season: tropical rain can delay or reroute a booked flight, and the longer Kimberley routes run less often. Free cancellation up to 24 hours covers a change of plan.
Worth knowing
Six things the flights do not tell you
01
Only four listings fly by helicopter. The Buccaneer Archipelago and Bungle Bungle trips are scenic flights in a fixed-wing aircraft, built for the longer Kimberley distances a helicopter would take too long to cover.
02
The Dampier Peninsula day is the one that stays on the ground. Its scenic flight over is optional, so it is the pick if you want the Kimberley without booking a seat in the air.
03
Cable Beach appears on two different flights. The short thirty-minute hop and the Willie Creek pearl farm combo both fly over it; only the pearl farm trip lands.
04
Reviews here are honest, not padded. The four helicopter flights carry a little over a hundred reviews between them — small next to a big city’s tours, and worth reading before you compare star ratings alone.
05
Kimberley rain moves bookings, not just delays them. The wet season, December to April, is when a long Kimberley flight is most likely to be rescheduled rather than simply late.
06
The camel ride, the cruises and the park tour are not flights. They run from Broome itself and are the trips to fall back on when the Kimberley weather grounds the aircraft.

Common questions
Broome helicopter flights, answered
How much does the shortest Broome helicopter flight cost?
The shortest flight is the 30-minute scenic helicopter over Cable Beach, from $347, rated 5.0 across 30 reviews. It covers Cable Beach, Gantheaume Point and Roebuck Bay and does not land anywhere along the way.
What is the difference between the Cable Beach flight and the pearl farm combo?
The 30-minute flight stays in the air the whole time. The pearl farm combo, from $484, adds a landing and a guided tour of Willie Creek Pearl Farm, and runs about four hours door to door instead of thirty minutes.
Should I fly by helicopter or take a scenic flight to the Kimberley?
Four listings here fly by helicopter: the Cable Beach flight, the pearl farm combo, Eco Beach and Cygnet Bay. The Buccaneer Archipelago and Bungle Bungle trips are scenic flights in a fixed-wing aircraft, built for the longer Kimberley distances.
When is the best time for a Broome helicopter flight?
Flights run all year. The dry season, June to August, gives the steadiest conditions for the long Kimberley routes; the wet season, December to April, is when Kimberley rain most often moves a booking.
Is the Bungle Bungle flight worth eleven hours?
It is the longest and most expensive trip on this page, at $1,348 for eleven hours, rated 4.8 across 20 reviews. It buys Purnululu’s striped domes and a guided walk through Cathedral Gorge that the shorter flights do not reach.
Can I see whales on a Broome helicopter flight?
Not by design. The helicopter and scenic flights here are built around the coastline and the Kimberley, not wildlife spotting, and whales are not guaranteed on any flight. The dedicated whale-watching cruise from Broome is the trip built for that.
What happens if my flight is cancelled by weather?
Kimberley weather can delay or reroute a flight, more often in the wet season. Cancellation terms are set on each listing, and Broome still has the camel ride, the cruises and the crocodile park running independently of Kimberley conditions.

Why trust this page
How we put this together
Checked, not guessed
Durations, inclusions and operator listings come from the live GetYourGuide pages for each trip. Prices and ratings are read off the same listings and updated with the page.
How we pick
Every bookable helicopter flight, scenic flight, cruise, camel ride and land tour out of Broome is on this page. Nobody pays to be featured.
We say what actually flies
Only four of the thirteen listings here fly by helicopter, and two more fly by scenic aircraft. We say which is which rather than let the word “flight” blur them together.
The niche, stated plainly
The helicopter flights here carry a little over a hundred reviews between them. We show that number instead of dressing a small niche up as a big one.
The answer
Start with the short flight; add the Kimberley if you have the day.
Do the thirty-minute Cable Beach flight on the day you arrive — the shortest, cheapest way to see Broome from the air, from $347. Then, if the wet season allows it, keep a second day for the Willie Creek pearl farm combo or one of the long Kimberley scenic flights, with the cruises and the camel ride as the backup plan.
