Bear witness to one of the world’s greatest natural wonders
Have you ever seen a waterfall… on its side?
Spectacular gorges, stunning turquoise waters and one thrilling tidal event make for a scene straight out of the next Indiana Jones blockbuster.
So, satchel and fedora at the ready – strap in, sit back and prepare for an adrenaline-pumping, once-in-a-lifetime adventure you’ll be talking about for the rest of your life (you can leave the leather jacket at home).
The Highlights
Horizontal Falls
The main event – an entirely unique phenomena hailed by David Attenborough as one of the world’s greatest natural wonders (and he’s seen a few). Fly over the falls and witness the world-renowned spectacle in all its glory.
Marvel at the majestic King Sound and Buccaneer Archipelago
Glowing rock formations, striking cliff faces and a thousand islands. Sound like something from another time? Well, it is. Fly over one of the most remote, rugged and untouched regions in the world, and watch time stop still.
The most rare and pure South Sea Pearls
Immerse yourself in the story of the Australian Pearl with a visit to Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm. Learn about the history of Cygnet Bay and how they culture some of the finest pearls in the world. Sounds amazing right?
Choose the Full Day Fly the Falls Adventure
Up for an extra adventure? Join us on the full day tour and experience a Cygnet Bay Sea Safari. Feel the power of the world’s largest tropical tides as you cruise amongst the giant whirlpools and standing tidal waves! Venture into Escape Passage, recently described as the fastest ocean current in the world! Excited?
Hot breakfast or lunch
Drawing inspiration from their pearling history, indigenous ingredients and local seafood, Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm isn’t your typical pitstop. Enjoy a hot breakfast or barramundi lunch – it doesn’t get more Broome than that – with dietary options available.
Tailored to get you the best view, every time
We may be pilots, but we know these tides as well as any air current. The tidal flow of the falls changes each day, so if it’s flowing in the morning, we’ll take you right there – if it’s afternoon, we’ll stop off for a bite to eat first.
And a window seat to so much more…
You’ll have the best seat in the house to Cape Leveque, Beagle Bay, the Lacepede Islands, James Price Point and more. Your ever-knowledgeable pilot’s running commentary will ensure you won’t miss a thing.
Departures
We time our fly over so you see the falls at their peak, so departure time varies depending on the day’s tides but is always between 7.00-9.00am. More information on your departure time can be found on the booking link below.

FAQ's
That’s an easy one – yes. Every one of our passengers enjoys a window seat on board. That’s a nonnegotiable for us. We’re here to showcase the best of Broome, and we don’t want you to miss a bit of it.
Absolutely! You’ll be seeing some of the most spectacular beauty the world has to offer and we hardly blame you for wanting to capture a part of it for your fridge. A word of warning though… your snaps are unlikely to really do it justice, but we’d love to see the attempts all the same! Tag us over on the gram @flybroome.
Of course they are. Lucky kids! Infants and children under three fly free, though must sit on your lap (a special safety belt is provided). We find most little ones fall asleep pretty quickly with the gentle humming of the engine so we can’t promise they’ll remember much… so be sure to take a picture to prove your status as the best parent in the world.
Yes, we regularly take pregnant women on board. However, we understand every woman and every pregnancy is different, so it’s really up to you! If you have any concerns, please consult your doctor before you fly.
Absolutely. We take very good care of our older passengers and those who require a little extra assistance. We can also arrange vehicles to support less mobile passengers when we land for our stopovers, so do let us know if this is something you require at the time of booking. If you have any concerns around accessibility, please contact us prior to booking to discuss any specific requirements and we will do everything we can to support them.
No you don’t, thankfully it is no longer a requirement to provide proof of vaccination.
None of our tours include a jet boat through the Horizontal Falls. We only overfly the Horizontal Falls which makes for spectacular viewing from above! If you would like to do a boat ride, please join our Full Day Fly the Falls Air Adventure which includes a Sea Safari from Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm to experience the Giant Tides.
Of course! Please advise any dietary requirements in advance and we will notify the destinations providing meals and refreshments. With adequate notice most requirements can be met. Please bear in mind that some of the destinations are remote, so the earlier we know the better!
Yes there is, the individual weight limit per person on our tours is 120kg. Accurate individual passenger weights must be provided at the time of booking. Failure to provide accurate weights may result in the passenger(s) being unable to fly.
Great question – and yes, it’s beautiful and balmy all year round! But don’t worry, our brilliant bookings team has thought of everything. You’ll find extra water bottles on board and frozen towels to keep you cool!
