About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- FarmerJ_on_the_road0 contributionsSpectacular scenic flights to the Bungles by a very professional company!We flew Aviair from Kununurra to the Bungles and back. Totally professional from start to finish — from booking, to the pick-up/drop-off service, to the warm welcome and safety briefing in the lounge and the flight itself. Very impressive. We expected great views but hadn't realised that it would be such a stunning scenic flight with terrific informative commentary about what we were seeing. The pilots ensured that passengers on both sides of the plane got the opportunity to see the sights. On the flight home, Ben was a particularly entertaining pilot and a great story-teller! (p.s. 2 days of walking in the Bungles was brilliant! If you have the time, stay over and experience the Bungles close up.)Written July 3, 2024
- nonab5730 contributionsFabulous experienceWe thought we were catching a plane from Kununurra to our accomodation at Bungle Bungle Savannah Lodge and back again the following day. How wrong we were! It was a fantastic trip with a running commentory, twists and turns to catch all of the sights on the way. They do a different route there and back so you see so much of the area. The pilot was very knowlegable and passionate about the area.Written May 9, 2024
- S8129ISvanessah0 contributionsBungle Bungle beautyMackenzie is an awesome pilot. So skilled and informative. 10 out of 10 tour. Took way too many photo's. 2 hour small plane flight over incredible country. So blessed. James was pretty good too đź‘ŚWritten March 25, 2024
- 2Happytravellers170 contributionsBungle Bungles and a lot lot moreWow such a great experience we’ve been to Kununurra before and to Lake Argyle by road but to see the shear size was mind blowing. The Bungle Bungles also amazing and our pilot Charles was so knowledgeable of the area he made it fun and informative. The booking staff all great and friendly. Can not recommend highly enough. Thanks Charles and the entire crew for making it so memorable. Cheers Mark & Rhonda BiddleWritten January 5, 2024
- 104SueR0 contributionsStunning and simply amazing part of Australia.Great friendly pilot Mckenzie, very informative. 5'2 pocket rocket. Knows her stuff. She made us feel very comfortable and safe .Written September 22, 2023
- Skrebi130 contributionsNice trip to the Bungle BunglesWe booked a 2hr plane trip over the Bungle Bungles. They offered pick-up and deopp off from / at the park. The tour was great with loads of additional information beyond the bungle bungles. We always felt safe up in the air and would do the same trip againWritten September 21, 2023
- 933caseyb0 contributionsAmazingThank you Eli, a professional and informative flight. The views afforded by the aircraft were spectacular. Thanks also to BenWritten September 5, 2023
- Bazzntess0 contributionsThe only way to see the Bungle BunglesA flight over the Bungle Bungles should be on everyone’s bucket list, there is simply no other way to get an appreciation of this unique area. Charles, our Pilot was a wealth of information. As a bonus we got to land on the dirt airstrip at Bellburn and see just how big Lake argyle is. This flight was worth every cent - would do it again tomorrow.Written August 22, 2023
- rosemarie22560 contributionsUncomfortable flightBungle Bungle & Lake Argyle flight. The flight was great but not comfortable. We have flown lots in very small aircrafts but this was the most uncomfortable 2 hour flight. The plane had not been prepared as the co pilot seat was pushed back extended to max and the seat pocket had too much stuff in it so I was squashed. My husband who is tall was squeezed between seats and had no leg room. We had no head phones and missed 90% of the talk. We advised pilot that we could not hear but she couldn’t do anything about it. We were very disappointed with our flight. We recommend you check if they have earphones, or book with someone else.Written August 6, 2023
- hall31950 contributionsYou won't be disappointed - quite breathtaking2 hour bungle bungles 6 am - WOW - very hard to describe how magnificent this flight is. Best staff ever - very very accommodating and thoughtful towards my husbands limitations. Charles the best pilot ever - thank goodness we didn't have "matt" - just ask Charles 🤣🤣. 20 out of 10 for absolutely wonderful experienceWritten August 2, 2023
- Sightseer665049916970 contributionsFlight over El Questro to the BunglesWe had Will as our pilot. He was very professional enthusiastic and full of great information. Very knowledgeable on the area and history. Highly recommend this flight, it was a wonderful experience with breathtaking scenery. Well done guys. đź‘ŚWritten July 31, 2023
- karencH4290ID0 contributionsWell Done Avair and Abby !!A Fantastic flight in the early sunrise ! Beautiful views of the Kununurra River, Lake Argyle, The Ord and the Bungle Bungles !! Good fun with our group and Great entertaining and informative pilot!! Thanks AbbyWritten July 25, 2023
- 111mickc0 contributionsCoastal flightDid the coast flight and helicopter transfer to Mitchell Falls. The most amazing experience, our pilot Will, even found the best swimming hole for us. We would highly recommend anyone to do this amazing trip.Written July 9, 2023
- T442XYvanessar0 contributionsUnforgettable and magical flightWe had an absolutely amazing and spectacular flight across the Cockburn ranges and around El Questro. Our pilot Will went above and beyond to make sure we were ok and having a great time. His clam and professional manner put us at ease almost instantly which was so great because we were all feeling a little nervous. His commentary was both informative and really interesting. He has a great sense of humour too. I highly recommend this company and Will as a Pilot. We will be flying with Will again if we get the chance. Great value for money. Thanks for an unforgettable memory Will. Regards, Vanessa and BrettWritten July 2, 2023
- micktravels20150 contributionsThe tour and tour guides were great...... but.We enjoyed the tour very much. The guide, Lisa was friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. Gabriel our indigenous guide had a great sense of humour and was also a great source of information. However when we arrived at the airport at the scheduled time of departure we were told there would be a slight delay as they were refuelling the plane. When we boarded the plane there was a further delay problem starting the engine. This delay resulted in us not experiencing the full tour. While we understand that safety o f the aircraft is of prime concern we feel that, 1. The aircraft should be fuelled before passengers arrive 2. The aircraft should have been started prior to the arrival of passengers to ensure that it was safe and ready to fly.Written June 11, 2023

Brilliant trip. We did the overnight stay in the Savanah lodge, combined with the guided walk and flights with Aviair. Our pilot Shane was a brilliant tour guide, and we were lucky enough to have him for both flights. Our 9 year old even got to ride back in the co-pilot seat which was the highlight of his holiday! Would highly recommend these flights to anyone, with or without the walking and staying bits - the flights alone are a great way to see Purnulu, Lake Argyle and the ORIA.

We booked our trip over the phone after seeing a recommendation from a fellow traveller on a facebook page. From the moment we called and booked we were so impressed with the high level of customer service.
On arrival at the airport we were greeted with a smile and made to feel comfortable and valued.
Then Shelby conducted the pre flight check with everyone and we thought hope that she is our pilot for the day and as it turned out she was.
All we can say about how Shelby managed herself was OUTSTANDING. Shelby was professional, knowledgeable, caring and also a had a great sense of humour.
The flight out and back was AWESOME and Shelby kept us all informed all the way with such good commentary about the history of Kunanurra, Lake Argyle and Purnulu National Park.
She is a huge credit to the Aviair.
We highly recommend anyone wanting to take a flight around the Kimberley’s to consider Aviair as it’s such a well organised and professional business.
Thanks Shelby and Aviair for a day we will remember forever.

From start to finish this was one of the best tours I’ve been on. It was worth every cent we paid. Breath taking views as we flew over Kununurra, Lake Argyle and the Bungle Bungle Ranges. The knowledge of the pilot, Hayden and Robbo, our guide through the Bungle Bungle Rangers was extensive. The food provided for morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea was fresh and delicious. Robbo made sure everyone had water and was constantly reminding everyone to have a drink of water. Both Hayden and Robbo were conscious of everyone’s needs and safety. I’d recommend this tour to everyone. Thank you very much.

The flight over Lake Argyle, Ord River and the Bungle Bungles was superb. The pilot, Emma, was skilful in her manoeuvring of the plane to ensure we all had a fantastic view of the magnificent landscape. After landing in the Bungles we started our walk through the outstandingly beautiful environment towards Cathedral Gorge. This sight is awe inspiring. An absolutely stunning and serene space. We enjoyed a lovely lunch and finished our walk with afternoon tea and another fabulous flight back to Kununurra. Our tour guide for the walk was Lachie and he was a considerate and extremely knowledgeable tour leader. I appreciate that this tour will seem expensive but the Bungle Bungles are extremely remote and the tour provides a unique opportunity for immersion in this area of outstanding and unique beauty.

Thanks to Aviair and Captain Will Holt; we were treated to a memorable flight from Kununurra to Bungle Bungles. The bird’s eye view of this iconic world heritage site was a highlight of our Kimberley’s visit.
Captain Will gave us a wonderful insight into the gaming of the Ord and creation of Lake Argyle, agriculture resulting from the irrigation scheme, the establishment of a cattle industry in the Kimberley region, the Argyle Diamond mine, and most key information about the Bungle Bungles.
Will was a competent pilot; perfect takeoff and landing and control of plane in flight; he was polite, courteous and made everyone feel safe.
A truly amazing experience.

Will was a fabulous pilot for Aviair that flew us to the Bungle Bungles for an outstanding one day experience. Very concerned about our comfort and experience the whole way. The tour guides Pete and Gabriel led us on the ground tour. Nothing was too difficult and the pace was made comfortable for all, considering it was a warmish experience. It was worth the money to avoid the time and discomfort of self driving. You also can't beat getting the aerial perspective of of lake Argyle, the irrigation areas, the Argyle Diamond mine and the grandeur of the Bungles. Do it.

Hi Chris, thank you for taking the time to leave us your 5-star review. We are thrilled to hear you had a great time exploring the Bungles.
We absolutely agree without, you can't beat seeing the aerial perspective of Lake Argyle, the Bungles and Argyle Diamond Mine. it is hard to comprehend by just seeing it from the ground.
We will be sure to pass on your kind words to Gabe, Pete and Will as well.

Very welcoming and friendly staff. The whole operation was very efficient. Hayden our pilot gave a very good concise commentary, made viewing availability easy where possible, and was very personable. Although an expensive treat it was well worth it. We flew up close to the Bungles, Argyle Diamond Mine and Lake Argyle. Also great viewing for the crops surrounding Kununurra.
Would recommend highly.

Despite a change of plans due to the heavy rainfall, the team at Aviair made sure we had an enjoyable if somewhat abbreviated experience. Whilst we were disappointed not to be able to undertake the hike into Cathedral Gorge due to the Purnululu National Park closure, the flight over the Bungles was awe inspiring and well worth the wait. Brent was a fabulous and knowledgeable guide. He has a good balance between sharing information and allowing passengers quiet space to marvel at the beauty below. Big appreciation to the entire team for the way they stayed calm and pivoted the day to allow us to undertake the flight. Highly recommended.

Hi Annie
Thanks for your 5-star review!
We're sorry to hear you that didn't get to hike into Cathedral Gorge but what a magical experience to be in Purnululu while its raining in the dry season, there's not very many people who can say they've done that!
We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to Brent
We hope you enjoyed the rest of your holiday!

What a fantastic experience! I had the best day! Aviair were so professional - I was picked up exactly on time and taken to the Kununurra airport where I boarded the plane for the flight to the Bungle Bungles in Purnululu National Park. Our amazing pilot, Eli, imparted lots of knowledgeable facts about the history of the area (as well as a few good stories!) as he flew us safely to and from Kununurra. My initial apprehension at flying in a small plane was completely dispelled by Eli’s professionalism and competence as a pilot. The flights were a really enjoyable experience and the scenery was so amazing! Once in Purnululu, we were handed over to our guide, the friendly, charming and very knowledgeable Bernie, and we embarked on our amazing hike through the sensational scenery of Cathedral Gorge. He pointed out so many interesting things and had a great knowledge of the history of the area. We were provided with a delicious morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea as well as ice cold water and refreshment towels. Bernie also managed to squeeze in a brief look at Picaninny Gorge which topped off the fantastic hike. The whole excursion was so well organised and thoroughly enjoyable - I can’t recommend Aviair highly enough! Definitely a 5-star rating!!
