As the aircraft flies over the coastal area there are ample opportunities to see sharks, rays and turtles, perhaps even humpback whales and whale sharks in season as well as the famous elusive dugongs. This flight crosses Freycinet Reach to the fascinating patchwork of salt ponds at Useless Loop. It then crosses the sandy finger of Bellefin Prong and out over the rugged Zuytdorp Cliffs. Following the cliffs northward to Australia's most westerly landfall at Steep Point through the waters of South Passage. The flight crosses part of Dirk Hartog Island and continues over shallow waters and sandbars adding to the astonishing range of blue and green hues of the area before returning to Denham and Shark Bay airport.
