The experience

The Super Pit is so vast that ground-level photos flatten it into an abstract hole. From the air, the scale becomes real: you see the terraced walls dropping 600 metres, the mining trucks moving across the pit floor like toys, and the sprawl of the operation that makes Kalgoorlie one of the world's richest gold regions. The flight takes 30 minutes and includes views of the city itself from above, giving you the geography of the place in a way no ground tour can match.

A live guide in English flies with you and points out the pit's features as you circle it. The flight departs from Kalgoorlie airport, and all taxes, fees and landing charges are included in the price. Minimum booking is two passengers. If you have one adult and one child, call the operator to confirm the booking. Children from age 3 can fly when accompanied by an adult, and infants sit on an adult's lap. The flight is suitable for all fitness levels and is wheelchair accessible.
