Roebuck Bay
Incredible colors at takeoff where red pindan soil meets the bright blue waters of Broome.
Eighty Mile Beach
An endless, pristine white sand coastline that stretches as far as the eye can see.
Port Hedland
Aerial view of the massive salt stockpiles and giant bulk carrier ships in the busy harbor.
Shark Bay
The World Heritage-listed area featuring stunning turquoise lagoons and unique salt pan formations.
Abrolhos Islands
Small, beautiful coral atolls visible off the coast near Geraldton if the flight path stays coastal.
Perth Beaches
Views of the northern coastal suburbs and the Indian Ocean as the flight descends into Perth.
Book a morning flight on the right side for the best lighting on the turquoise water. The coastline is the star of this route; if the pilot takes a coastal approach into Perth, you may also see Rottnest Island. Be aware that afternoon flights on this side will face direct sun, which can make photography through windows difficult.

Pilbara Red Earth
Infinite vistas of the ancient, iron-rich landscapes and rugged mountain ranges of inland WA.
Mining Operations

Lake Macleod
A vast, shimmering salt lake located north of Carnarvon with striking white and clay-colored textures.
Darling Scarp
The green forested hills providing a sharp contrast to the desert as you enter the Perth basin.
The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun over the ocean. It provides a better perspective of the vastness of the Australian Outback and the intricate patterns of seasonal riverbeds.
