Helicopter or plane?

Helicopters fly lower and slower — ideal for photos and close views of Uluru or Purnululu. Fixed-wing planes cover far more ground, such as Kununurra to the Bungle Bungles or Lake Eyre's huge lakebed.

Tips

  • Morning flights are usually smoother and cooler.
  • Wear dark clothing to reduce reflections on windows.
  • Book Lake Eyre flights as soon as you hear the lake is filling.
