Excursion Mitchell falls by helicopter tour at Newcastle

Let us take you on an unforgettable helicopter adventure. It begins with an exciting lift off from a remote beach on Naturalist Island on the remote west Kimberley coast.

Experience the spectacular cliffs of the Hunter River as we fly up its deep course to the site of Donkins Falls. Marvel at the Livistona palms clinging to the red rock faces of deep gorges as we fly inland. Enjoy the broad vistas of the Mitchell Plateau before orbiting and landing.

Our Expedition team will welcome you and provide some guidance after which you will have approximately one hour to enjoy the site on your leisure. You can walk to the Mitchell Falls vista points for a once in a lifetime photo opportunity or simply enjoy a refreshing dip in the freshwater pools nearby before your return flight back to Naturalist Island.
