Air Kimberley first took to the Kimberley skies back in 1992 as King Leopold Air, a small charter company based on a pastoral station close to its namesake – the spectacular King Leopold Ranges. With the renaming of the King Leopold Ranges in 2020 to the Wunaamin Miliwundi Ranges, the name no longer reflected the values of the business and Air Kimberley was born.
People vary, however experience shows that with greater all-round aerial views and more direct interaction with the pilot, who is also your tour guide, leads to a more enjoyable experience.
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 see our Cygnet Bay Explorer Tour which includes a Sea Safari to experience the Giant Tides.
Yes, commentary will be provided throughout your scenic flight by your knowledgeable pilot/tour guide. Please feel free to ask them any questions along the way. We also provide a route map and information card for your journey. At Air Kimberley, we provide an educational journey of discovery!
Safety restrictions apply and there are baggage restrictions on light aircraft. The baggage allowance on tours is usually 5 kg per person. Whilst travelling light, we suggest you always take a minimum of sunglasses, hat, water bottle and sunscreen. Swimwear and a bathing towel is also useful as many of our tours offer the chance for a swim. It’s best to pack a small backpack or soft bag and these will be safely stowed in the aircraft’s luggage hold.
Of course, each passenger has a window seat and the high wing design and retracting undercarriage makes for unrestricted viewing. Both still and video cameras may be used for the ultimate aerial images! Don't forget to pack the spare battery!
