As I have been fortunate to have had many helicopter tour flights in my lifetime, I felt compelled
to flick through an email to express how good Rhys was as a pilot and tour guide.
I certainly didn’t feel like I was just another customer.
From the moment he arrived at Cable Beach Resort he was engaging, professional and a great brand representative for Frontier Helicopters.
At the completion of the tour, I also was lucky enough to meet Yvonne (accounts guru) back at Broome Airport, another great brand representative. Emma rounded the trip out by doing the return drop off, highlighting what a great team you have at Frontier Helicopters.
The Willie Creek Pearl Farm tour was very informative and enjoyable. The staff were all attentive and very friendly. Thank you, Tanya, for helping us with our pearl purchases.
A very enjoyable day and highly recommended.

My wife sat in the back & myself the front as it has no front doors which is sensational for photography.
We tracked over beautiful Broome & North up the coast before returning via the coast & front start to finish this tour was amazing. It is a must do, the turquoise waters, cliff tops, sandy beaches & then there were the Manta Rays, Dugong, Sharks, including two Hammerheads followed by flying along Cable Beach & Gantheaume Point, Reddell Beach & the Port before taxi ing down the runway to finish.
The hour went fast but the memories will stay with us for ever.
Our Pilot was an extreme professional & handled the aircraft with ease. His knowledge was exceptional & informative.
Then we were driven back to the Caravan Park, what brilliant service.
It really is a must do if in Broome.
From the moment we arrived at the airport, the staff and our pilot were wonderful, ensuring the entire process was seamless and welcoming. The experience itself was simply magic. The magnificence of the Kimberley is best appreciated from above; seeing hundreds of kilometres of the coastline and the stunning water in a single journey offered a perspective on the beauty of the region that simply cannot be matched from the ground.
If you are visiting Broome, we strongly suggest taking the time to book this flight. It created unforgettable memories for us. Thank you to the team at Frontier Tours for such a professional and breathtaking experience.
Thanks again Lauren. That was an experience we’ll never forget. We highly recommend this company. Absolutely brilliant!
Yesterday . I highly recommend this flight as the scenery was incredible
I am very fearful of flying, and we let Hillary know before we took off. She completely reassured me, and made me feel very at ease.
The flight was one of the most amazing and exhilarating things that I have ever done. The scenery from a chopper far outways any views that you have ever seen on a plane. The coastline was spectacular, and we were so fortunate to see so many Manta Rays in the water.
Hillary was extremely informative on all the sites, and also had a great sense of humour.
I would HIGHLY recommend this trip to anyone 🙌🏼
Willie creek is spectacular.
It was actually really cool being able to spot places I’d been the day before with the rental car.
We also saw wild horses, which made it even more special.
Jack was really professional, calm, and knowledgeable, and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. He made the whole thing feel relaxed and easy.
Definitely worth doing.
Tour guides at pearl farm very knowledgeable, food was lovely and fresh
The flight also showed us the remoteness of the region as well how expansive this area of the country is.
An unforgettable experience.
Helicopter pilot excellent - such a smooth ride and great scenery. Pearl farm experience terrific as well
so competent and was awesome company - it really made our trip so cool!
Would highly recommend !!
We would highly recommend this experience to see the gorgeous beaches, whales and landscapes.
Thanks so much, Ammy, for the exhilerating experience.
Our experience was enhanced by Laura who went out of her way to make our day extra special . Laura was a pleasure to deal with from the initial booking to keeping informed up until pick up .
We would thoroughly recommend this tour to everyone
Thank both for an amazing day
Sue and Leigh 😊
First, I must commend Laura for being so helpful during the booking process. She went above and beyond trying to get the best outcome, even though it was through no fault of hers. To say that the tour we went on was the best would be an understatement.
This tour was THE highlight of our stay in Broome. Hilary was amazing and very informative. Travelling by helicopter gives a unique perspective of the area and when we arrived at our destination it was truly breathtaking.
This experience has become of those moments in time I will cherish forever!
I heartily recommend this tour when travelling to Broome but make sure you book in advance.
Once again thanks Laura and Hilary!
Forget the cost as we already have and get ready for one of the highlights of your life. The astonishing river flats on departure from Derby. The views of the Horizontal falls and Montgomery Reef as the tide recedes with the stunning backdrop of Cyclone Bay and the nearby mountain ranges bathed in a cloudless sky. The giant turtles swimming in the clear blue waters and the two+ hours flew by and the trip was over. A day to remember and experiences shared and to be shared as we recall memories of this experience.
