Kimberley Wilderness Helicopter Safari over Cape Leveque

Lift off over the fire-red pindan cliffs and pearl-white beaches of Cape Leveque in an exclusive private helicopter, tracing the Dampier Peninsula's coastline as humpback whales and manta rays glide through crystal-clear shallows beneath you.

What to expect

Your pilot, a Kimberley specialist, briefs you on the ancient geology — the Dampier Peninsula's red pindan cliffs are over 1.8 billion years old. As you bank south along the coast, the contrast of vivid crimson headlands against impossibly turquoise water is nothing short of cinematic. A remote beach landing gives you 20 minutes of absolute solitude before returning along a different coastal arc. Binoculars are provided for spotting marine life below.
