Scenic flight tours are an exciting way to explore a region from the air.
These tours are typically conducted in small aircraft such as helicopters, seaplanes, or light aircraft.
During scenic flight tours, you'll get a bird's-eye view of spectacular landscapes, landmarks and other natural wonders. You'll also get to encounter wildlife and incredible sights from a unique perspective - like on this Air Kimberley Buccaneer Explorer Scenic Flight, which departs from Broome and explores the 8th natural wonder of the world (according to Sir David Attenborough) the Horizontal Waterfalls.
