SIGHTS FROM THE SKY Blessed with pindan red earth, brilliant turquoise waters, and clear blue skies – what better way to view the full spectrum of Broome’s rich and diverse palette than from the air.

AS Helicopters has been showcasing the best of Broome from a unique aerial perspective since 2007. With its fleet of pilots being residents who call this spectacular place home, their knowledge of the area and live commentary of the impressive sights is second to none. Broome base manager and pilot Hilary Wilkins says some of KAS Helicopters’ most popular flights include the 30 minute ‘Colours of Broome’ tour and the ‘Pearls and Coast Flight’, which lands at Willie Creek for an interactive Pearl Farm Tour. “On our ‘Colours of Broome Tour’, you’ll see all of the Broome Peninsula right up to Willie Creek pearl farm, including Town Beach, Broome Port, Gantheaume Point and all 22km of Cable Beach,” says Hilary. “The colours are just incredible – azure blue waters, white sandy beaches, green mangroves and stunning red rocks and cliffs.” Expect similar breathtaking schemes of colour and remarkable textures on the ‘Pearls and Coast Flight’, with the added bonus of landing at Willie Creek Pearls to experience its multiple awardwinning pearl farm tour, which shares unique insights into the world of cultured pearling. Keep an eye out and you might just spot one of the creek’s three saltwater crocodiles, too. If you have the luxury of more time up your sleeve, make the most of it and opt for one of KAS Helicopters’ lengthier tours. The ‘Montgomery Reef Discoverer’ tour is a chance to view one of the country’s most remarkable natural wonders, Montgomery Reef – the largest inshore reef in Australia. Or choose the six-hour ‘Dampier Peninsula Discoverer’ (two hours and 40 minutes in flight) and experience an amazing scenic flight to Cygnet Bay, where you’ll have the opportunity to undertake a wealth of inspiring activities. Enjoy a pearl farm tour, witness the spectacular power of the giant tides or waterfall reef on a Sea Safari boat ride, have a delicious seafood lunch, or even embark on a private boat transfer to Shell Island for a few hours of sheer isolation. With the help of KAS Helicopters, Broome is your oyster! Book at visitbroome.com.au/members/kas-helicopters
