Product Info

Discover the full scale and beauty of Shark Bay on this spectacular scenic flight, offering sweeping aerial views of dramatic coastlines, turquoise waters, and one of the world’s richest marine environments.

As you soar above the pristine waters of Shark Bay, keep watch for sharks, rays, turtles, and, in season, whales and elusive dugongs feeding in the shallow seagrass meadows below.

The flight begins with a crossing over Freycinet Reach to the striking salt ponds of Useless Loop, where vivid geometric patterns contrast against the surrounding blues of the bay. Continue over the sandy expanse of Bellefin Prong before tracing the rugged Zuytdorp Cliffs, carved by wind and sea over millions of years.

Head north to Steep Point, the westernmost point of mainland Australia, and witness the powerful waters of South Passage separating the mainland from historic Dirk Hartog Island.

On the return leg, fly over Francois Peron National Park, revealing the vibrant colours and intricate patterns of Big Lagoon, before returning to Shark Bay Airport. This flight is ideal for wildlife lovers, photographers, and anyone seeking a comprehensive aerial overview of Shark Bay’s most iconic features.
