The tour operator flies a set pattern over the Bungle Bungle Ranges for around 20 minutes. You orbit over the spectacular beehive formations on the eastern side of Purnululu National Park before heading west to explore some amazing deep gorges and gullies. Here you exit the park and track towards the Argyle Diamond Mine.

Due to other aircraft traffic we cannot deviate from this standard pattern.

Yes. Do not rest your camera against the window or other aircraft structure as the vibrations and reflections will surely ruin your photo. Use a fast shutter speed as depth-of-field is not really a problem at altitude. We also highly recommend a UV filter for your camera, to reduce the effect of any atmospheric haze and smoke.

Yes, you are guaranteed a window seat!

The tour operator partners with Platinum Air aircraft and aircrew. Platinum is fully licensed and certified by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority to provide air charter services in Australia. Platinum have been flying in Australia for the last 20 years, servicing corporate clients such as Kingfisher Tours.

You generally fly at around 2500 feet (approx 800m) to maintain good visibility. This does vary depending on what you would like to see, vision obstacles (smoke etc), and any air turbulence encountered.

The tour operator has an airconditioned Cessna 208 and  Cessna 210’s. Depending on the size of your group and the location of your tour, one of these planes will be used.

The shoulder months may still be warm (30-35 degrees Celsius) but generally the weather is Dry and Cool (25-30 degrees celsius) with big blue skies, hence why this season is named the Dry Season. Evenings can be quite cold in the Bungles it can go down to as low as -2 degrees, so do bring warm jackets.
