About this tour
Fly low over Broome's coastline for 60 minutes, banking north from Cable Beach past working pearl farms shaped by massive tides, then following the rust-red escarpment at James Price Point where fossilised marine creatures tell stories trapped in rock. The route continues up the coast revealing shallow reef systems, the Gantheaume Point lighthouse, and a string of beaches—Reddell, Simpsons, Town Beach—before looping back via Roebuck Bay and Dampier Creek. Pickup and drop-off included.

What to expect
You'll board a helicopter at Broome and spend the full hour airborne, staying low enough to spot detail without touching ground. The flight heads north straightaway, giving you views into pearl farming operations where tidal ranges carve visible patterns into the water. James Price Point dominates the middle section—those red cliffs aren't just scenic; the guide will point out actual fossils embedded in the rock faces. From there the route traces a longer coastal stretch, weaving past several beaches and bays where you can often spot rays, sharks and turtles moving through shallows. The return leg swings back south along Roebuck Bay before you land where you started.
Good to know
No stops or walking involved—this is pure air-based sightseeing. Bottled water provided. Infants sit on a parent's lap or use a specialist seat if needed. The helicopter works in most conditions but departures can shift if weather closes in.
