We are delighted to continue to bring our guests the luxury and adventure of cruising the Kimberley coast along with the opportunity to view the countless spectacular Kimberley icons from a thrilling aerial perspective.

Our fantastic helicopter flights are provided by Fleet Helicopters.

Based in Armidale, NSW, Fleet Helicopters have been operating rotary winged services since the 1990′s and have a ‘fleet’ of different helicopters to provide specialist machines to meet the varying demand of the tourist, farming and government industries.

 

 

MV Great Escape cruises with one of Fleet Helicopter’s Bell Jet Ranger that seats 4 passengers plus pilot. James Ranger and Charlie Phillips will be your pilots and they will guide you over some of the most rugged yet spectacular landscapes of the Kimberley region. Fleet Helicopters have 7 years flying experience in the Kimberley, leading to a wealth of knowledge of the region and access to some incredible ‘secret spots’ which is very valuable when it is time to go heli-fishing!

“Having a helicopter on board added another dimension and choice to a fantastic cruise. Thank you so much for making this a holiday of a lifetime – we enjoyed ourselves so much and think you are a great crew – we hope you are all still here when we return. Many, many thanks for everything.” Richard & Janet Tweedie, WA

 

There are a range of scenic flights to choose from or you can take the easy and exciting route to a land excursion by flying to or from a fern-fringed rock pool for swimming, flying along King George escarpment or enjoying the Horizontal Waterfalls from the air……the choice is yours. For less active or agile guests the helicopter is the ideal way to see the hidden treasures of the Kimberley wilderness.

“We really liked the chopper as it made up for the activity that we could not make. The scenery from air was the icing on the cake!” Norm & Doreen Taylor, WA

In addition, there is one particularly astounding Aboriginal rock- art gallery in stone in the Southern Kimberley that is accessible only by air, and we recommend you talk to the pilot onboard if you are interested in experiencing this timeless wonder.
