Soar from Broome over Roebuck Bay and the Roebuck Plains to land among the jagged Edgar Ranges. This 110-minute helicopter flight pairs dramatic aerial views with a guided landing for photos and short exploration.
The helicopter lifts off Broome’s tarmac and the town shrinks beneath a lattice of red dirt and salt flats. Roebuck Bay unfurls in turquoise and mudflat browns, its tidal fans shifting like a living map. The pilot banks gently and the Edgar Ranges appear inland — jagged buttes and valley ribs that insist you look twice from the air.

The helicopter lifts off Broome’s tarmac and the town shrinks beneath a lattice of red dirt and salt flats. Roebuck Bay unfurls in turquoise and mudflat browns, its tidal fans shifting like a living map. The pilot banks gently and the Edgar Ranges appear inland — jagged buttes and valley ribs that insist you look twice from the air.
This stretch of the Kimberley sits on ancient sandstone and laterite, carved by intermittent rivers and long dry seasons. The coastline nearby is part of Roebuck Bay, an internationally important shorebird feeding ground; inland, cattle stations and Aboriginal country mark a layered human history. The Yawuru and other Kimberley peoples have cultural ties to these landscapes that predate pearling and pastoral settlement.
Expect dramatic contrasts: coastal flats, broad station country, then the compact, sculpted forms of the Edgar Ranges. Pilots provide in-flight commentary and there’s a scheduled landing so you can walk among the ranges — the terrain is stony and sun-baked, with wide sightlines for photographers.
Practically, this is an accessible aerial excursion rather than a technical outing. Dress for sun and wind, secure small items, and plan for early-morning or late-afternoon flights when light and weather are best. Operations follow strict weather protocols — flights can be delayed or cancelled in the wet season. Bring water and a camera, follow the pilot’s safety briefing during landing and enjoy an uninterrupted view of one of northern Australia’s sharper landscapes.
The total trip runs about 110 minutes in the air with additional pickup/transfer time; there is a scheduled landing for roughly 60 minutes of on-ground exploration.
Operators request passenger weights for weight-and-balance; age restrictions are minimal but children must be supervised—confirm specifics at booking.
Flights are routinely cancelled for unsafe weather. The operator offers refunds if cancelled at least 24 hours before departure, and will reschedule or refund if weather prevents safe flying.
Space in the helicopter is limited; small handheld cameras are fine, but bulky tripods or heavy photographic rigs are generally not allowed—check with the operator beforehand.
Frontier Tours operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
