Step-by-step itinerary

Scenic flight over Kalgoorlie and Lake Lefroy

• Fly over Kalgoorlie Super Pit
• View Kambalda Nickel Smelter
• See Lake Lefroy salt lake
• Observe mining industry landscape

The experience

The flight departs Kalgoorlie and heads south toward Kambalda, giving you an aerial view of the Super Pit (one of the world's largest open-pit gold mines), and the Nickel Smelter before crossing into the vast expanse of Lake Lefroy. From the air, the scale of the mining operations becomes clear: the deep excavations cut into the landscape contrast sharply with the sparse, dry salt lake bed stretching across the horizon. This is the kind of perspective ground-level tours cannot match.

Your guide flies the route and provides live commentary in English throughout, pointing out the sights of Kalgoorlie and the western woodlands. The flight takes in the greater Kalgoorlie-Boulder city area before heading south, so you see both the urban center and the industrial landscape that surrounds it. Children from age 3 can join. Infants sit on an adult's lap. The tour is wheelchair accessible, and all taxes, fees and landing charges are included in the price.

Flights require a minimum of 2 passengers. If the booking does not meet this threshold after confirmation, you will be offered an alternative departure or a full refund.
