Joseph Bonaparte Gulf
Watch the deep blue waters meet the intricate, jagged red coastline of the Northern Territory border.
Buccaneer Archipelago
A stunning collection of over 800 islands featuring vibrant reef systems and white sandy beaches.
King Sound
Massive tidal movements visible as swirling currents and mudflats near the mouth of the Fitzroy River.
Cable Beach
The world-famous white sands and turquoise water of Broome appearing just before touchdown.
The right side is essential for the coastal approach into Broome, which often features a turn over the ocean for a perfect view of Cable Beach. For afternoon flights, be prepared for significant sun glare off the water; polarizing filters are recommended for photographers. Sit closer to the front to avoid heat haze from the engines.

Ord River Irrigation Area
Lush green agricultural patches contrasting sharply with the surrounding arid red soil near Kununurra.
Lake Argyle
Australia's largest man-made lake, appearing like a massive sapphire inland sea nestled among ancient hills.
Bungle Bungle Range

The Kimberley Interior
A vast expanse of ancient sandstone plateaus and deep gorges that define the Australian outback.
Keep an eye out roughly 40 minutes after takeoff for the massive expanse of Lake Argyle. On morning flights, this side is shaded, providing the best lighting for photography without cabin window glare. Ensure you are seated behind the wing for the most expansive view of the desert landscape.
