Unlike the previous reviewers, we arrived early, had read all the weight restrictions, and knew what to expect prior to arrival. We were met by delightful staff, and had one of the best days of our Australian holiday.
The staff were professional, we were looked after the entire 7 hour trip, and we couldn't be happier.
Well done team!

Avoid at all costs – extremely terrible experience with Kalbarri Scenic Flights powered by Nationwest Aviation

If you’re looking to ruin your day and completely mess up your travel schedule, then I highly recommend choosing Kalbarri Scenic Flights powered by Nationwest Aviation.

We were a group of 6 people who made two bookings (2 pax + 4 pax) for a 1:30pm flight on June 19th to visit the Pink Lake from Kalbarri — booked two weeks in advance.

However, on the morning of the flight, we suddenly received a call and a text, claiming there was a “weight issue” Their website clearly states a weight limit of 119kg per person — none of us exceeded this. (which is everything on scheduled)
Here, What they really meant was that they couldn't accommodate all 6 of us in one flight — only 4 people max per flight — meaning we would need two separate flights, which was never mentioned before.
That morning, we drove from Monkey Mia to Kalbarri with no signal on the way. We only received their call and text after arriving in town Kalbarri and checking our phones. We arrived at Kalbarri airport at 12:50pm, only to find it completely locked and empty.
We had flights from Geraldton to Perth at 6:40pm (a 2-hour drive from Kalbarri), so splitting into two flights was never an option. When we called, the lady on call kept saying “I understand” but offered no real help, only that the second flight would be at 2:45pm — clearly too late.

At the airport, we explained the situation to the pilot and asked him to call HQ (we still had no signal). We requested that 4 people take the flight and the other 2 be refunded.
The person on the phone (sounded like a Malaysian male) refused to refund, said he needed to “ask the boss,” and kept stalling while insisting we send him flight info. He kept repeating they couldn’t refund and pushed us to do the second flight — even though it was clearly impossible given the time.

Let me be very clear: this was not our fault. We booked together, were never told about flight size limits, and only got notified on the same day — far too late. The infrastructure in regional WA isn’t great, and they should’ve planned better.
In the end, only 4 of us flew. 2 people didn’t. No refund has been issued to this day. After we finished the first trip and arrived Geraldton is already 17:40 We were completely have no time to catch the flights for the second flight at 18:40.

This company clearly just wants to take your money, even if they can’t deliver the promised service.

🚨 Final warming: Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.
If you want to protect your itinerary, time, and mood — stay far away from this company.

excellent experience provided by this company, the pilot was highly reliable and nice, what you have to do is relax and enjoy yourself in the air, then leave everything to the pilot. But it is a bit hot in the plane because my section is near noon in a very sunny day

Fantastic day with Cameron our pilot. Well beyond our expectations. We were very well looked after. The snorkelling was great, lots of coral and fish. We saw great wildlife on the Island. Then the flights over The Pink Lakes, Kalbarri Cliffs and National Park were exceptional.
Would highly recommend the tour.
