Touring the Scenic Surrounds of Swift Bay

There's nothing more exhilarating than a scenic helicopter flight as many of us took a heart-stopping morning flight to the picturesque Mitchell Falls - a series of three emerald waterfalls forming a staircase of cascades, tumbling through the remote landscape. 

We also admired another fabulous rock art site at Swift Bay, where giant Wandjina (rain spirits) graced the walls, together with a prominent large white crocodile and a further array of fauna and flora along the walls and ceiling of this ancient cave. 

As the sun sank below the horizon we sat on a deserted patch of Kimberley sand amid piles of seashells, drinking in the magnetic landscape and another spectacular day.  Just when we thought our day could not get any better, we returned to Heritage Adventurer only to be met by a large Tawny Nurse shark, circling our Zodiac for yet another close encounter with the amazing Kimberley wildlife.
