We went on a 2 week cruise to Kimberley and Indonesia on Coral Geographer, an excellent adventure travel venue.
Although most excursions were included, Mitchell Falls required helicopter access and thus was an optional extra.
Although the price was steep from the captive audience of the ship, the tour was excellent and I thought worth it.
The helicopter I was in had 5 seats, 2 front facing, 2 rear facing aft and one front seat next to the pilot. All were "window" and no middle seats although the other helicopter used was a 4 seater with one middle seat. The rear passengers switched forward and rear facing going out and coming back.
Mitchell Falls itself was a beautiful location. We landed and had lunch there and also an opportunity to swim in a pool above the Falls. The flight went over the Falls with several passes for photos.

Lovely walk, not too challenging with the help of guides. Lots to see en route and on arrival, the views are superb.

We were fortunate enough to take a helicopter tour over the falls, which landed near the falls and allowed us to explore the area for just under two hours. This was an amazing experience. Even though it was in the dry season, the falls were still running and the views are spectacular. After following the trail, we had time for a swim I the water holes above the falls. Apparently, crocodiles don’t like steep climbs.

Alec our Pilot and guide made it interesting the flight and landing were very smooth. I think even a nervous flier could cope with this. We loved it. Helicopter trip as one of 3 copters was exciting.

We flew from Kununurra (with a 5 am pick up which did not add to the enjoyment ) and elected to helicopter to the top of the falls instead of walking the trail.
The Aviar experience was ok with a moderately interested pilot compared to our Bungles flight but we had some lovely early morning views over the East Kimberley on the way to the falls and some terrific views of the falls when we got there.
Helicopter pilots were fine and ride up was great but some people seemed a little terrified flying without doors in the chopper.
We were lucky the falls were pumping after some late season rain and they are a beautiful sight indeed. We were able to have a dip in a pool above the falls and you could do a short walk for views from a different angle.
The provided lunch was a bit average. The guides as well.
The major issue is that while we were there the place was besieged with helicopters from all over the place so not much peace to be had anywhere.
In retrospect I would opt for a few swoops over the falls in the light plane and a nice lunch back at your hotel. I suspect I’m a bit jaded reading that to myself!
Anyway a very long and expensive day. Enjoyable but disappointing in the end.

The water crossings are OK (~june 20) - the last crossing, which was the deepest, went up to the knee. we brought two pairs of socks - one to wear on the water crossings so you don't slip on the rocks (less slippery than most shoes or barefoot) and a dry pair in between the water crossings.
from the viewpoints the falls are distant so doesn't look quite as spectacular compared to photos.
We hiked in and took a helicopter out. The hike is quite exposed to wear plenty of sunscreen + hat.
still worth seeing overall.

We wanted to do Mitchell Falls but didnt want to do the rough roads out there so we booked a day tour with KIngfisher Tours.Flew out to the airstrip and circled for 40mins due to the fog and then a 4 x 4 drive out to the falls.The walk to the falls is only around 4.5hours but can be strenuous in some areas so you do require a certain level of fitness to do it.Rock Art,waterfalls,swimming holes.Just stunning countryside.The Falls themselves are a sight to behold.So glad we did it.There are camping grounds out there but you need heavy duty car and vans to go out there.We spotted 2 broken down vehicles along the way and felt so sorry for them as you are in the middle of nowhere and a 500km drive to get parts.So glad we did the day trip and had plenty of time to see what we wanted to see

I vaccilated about booking this tour because of the cost - $1545 was a lot for me to pay. But it's high season in Broome and as soon as you add in plane and helicopter rides, the cost sky-rocket. I was based in Broome so had no choice but many people come in from closer towns. There were 5 of us plus our pilot/guide. From pick-up at my hotel at 5.45am to drop off at 5.15pm, the day ran like clockwork. The views from the plane, a 6-seater Cessna, were great and Brad, our pilot, gave us info as we went along - about 2 hours each way. From the plane, we transferred to a 4-wheel drive after morning tea. 20 minutes later, we started the 4km walk in to the Falls. This is rated Level 5, but it wasn't to bad. Quite a bit of clambering over rocks and boulders but I had my walking poles which helped a lot with balance. There are other falls along the way and different types of country. Fabulous ancient Indigenous rock paintings were a highlight. We had one water crossing. Take your shoes off and walk in your socks to help you grip on the rocks - don't forget to take a spare pair to change into! We were ready for a cool swim and lunch then - over an hour for that. Then up to check out the 4-tier Falls from different vantage points. Glad we had the helicopter ride back - some tours do it in the opposite direction, but it was hot by then. A long day, but worth it.

Steve our pilot and guide was terrific. Steve was very informative and helpful during the the treck to the Falls. A yummy lunch and morning tea was provided. Amazing scenery and a heart pumping ride in a helicopter with no doors capped the day. A must do.

We had seen the falls in the dry so it was incredible to see so much water flowing over the falls - breathtaking!
