Horizontal Falls Scenic Seaplane Flight: A Bird's-Eye Kimberley Icon

Bank low over the Buccaneer Archipelago in a private seaplane and witness the Horizontal Falls from the air — the only vantage point that reveals the full scale of this tidal marvel set inside a maze of 1,000 ancient islands.

What to expect

Take off from the pontoon and climb over the Buccaneer Archipelago as islands, reefs, and tidal channels unfold beneath you in extraordinary colour. Your pilot — a seasoned Kimberley local — narrates the geological story of a coastline that has barely changed in 300 million years. The aircraft banks directly over the twin gorges so you can photograph the full falls system from above before landing back on the water. Combine with a jet boat run for the ultimate Horizontal Falls double.
