We were able to book the 45min Broome Creek & Coast Scenic Helicopter Flight. Mitch collected us from our accommodation and drove us to the airport. The helicopter holds 3 passengers, the front doors are off, so if you are a little nervous the back seats are good option. We had an excellent experience flying at approximately 1km providing clear views of Broome, Cable Beach and Willie Creek. We managed to spot manta rays, sea turtles and sharks along the coastline. The beautiful turquoise waters and white peaks made from some impressive photos. We took the 9:00am flight, which seemed perfect timing with the tides.

My wife and I took a 36 minute flight for a sunrise view of Uluru and the Olgas. It was epic. Our helicopter pilot made comment that the viewing with the sun coming through to low cloud bank was triple epic. It was one of the best and memorable experiences we have had. Cost $320 pp for a 36 minute flight and it was worth every cent.

This was a real Bonza day out! 6 flight legs between pubs across some amazing terrain and views, made even better by the knowledge and commentary of our pilot Clint. Pubs are a great mix of NT watering holes and nice to kickback with a cool drink and take it all in. Absolutely recommend this tour and in its self a reason to visit Darwin. Well done Clint and team!
