Which side of the plane to sit from Kununurra Airport (Kununurra) to Broome International Airport (Broome)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the rugged Kimberley coastline, including the massive tidal shifts of King Sound and the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean meeting the red pindan soil.
King Sound
Witness the massive scale of the sound near Derby, famous for having some of the highest tidal ranges in the world.
Buccaneer Archipelago
Spot the fringe of the thousands of rocky islands and hidden beaches dotting the coastline to the northwest.
Dampier Peninsula
Marvel at the stark meeting point where bright red cliffs drop directly into the turquoise Indian Ocean.
Cable Beach
On the final approach from the north, you get a world-class view of the 22-kilometer stretch of white sand and surf.
Gantheaume Point
Look for the red rock formations and the lighthouse marking the southern end of Cable Beach just before touchdown.
The right side is the premier choice for coastal scenery. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to see the sun illuminate the red cliffs against the blue sea. If the flight approaches Broome from the north, the right side provides an unrivaled view of Cable Beach. Ensure your window is clean to capture the high-contrast colors of the Kimberley coast.
Ord River System
View the intricate irrigation channels and the serpentine path of the Ord River immediately after takeoff.
Bungle Bungle Range
On a clear day, the distant striped beehive formations of Purnululu National Park are visible to the south.
Fitzroy River Basin
Observe the massive, winding patterns of one of Australia's largest river systems carving through the dry landscape.
Roebuck Bay
As you descend into Broome, the deep ochre mudflats and vibrant blue waters of the bay create a stunning contrast.
Sit on the left for better views of the vast interior plateaus and the intricate river systems. This side is better during the mid-morning to avoid direct sun glare from the north. Watch for the dramatic color shift from the green Ord valley to the red interior.
