Horizontal Falls Tours

One of the world's great natural wonders — 11 tour options from Broome, from half-day seaplane adventures to overnight stays and aerial flyovers.

The Horizontal Falls in the Buccaneer Archipelago are one of Australia's most extraordinary natural phenomena — tidal surges force millions of litres of seawater through narrow gorges, creating a dramatic horizontal waterfall effect. Sir David Attenborough called them "one of the greatest natural wonders of the world." All tours depart from Broome by seaplane or fixed-wing aircraft.
