Horizontal Falls: Private Seaplane & Boat Thrill

Fly over the Buccaneer Archipelago by seaplane, then shoot through the world's only horizontal waterfalls by high-speed boat — David Attenborough called them 'one of the world's greatest natural wonders.'

What to expect

Your seaplane skims low over the jaw-dropping tidal labyrinth of the Buccaneer Archipelago before touching down on the pontoon. A seasoned skipper then rockets you — twice — through the thundering 4-metre gap between cliffs where tidal surges create a roaring, churning waterfall effect unlike anything else on Earth. Back on the pontoon, a seafood lunch and optional reef fishing round out the day in style.

Booking
We have not yet verified a bookable operator and price for this one.

Good to know

Pre-book well in advance — seaplane seats sell out months ahead, especially June–September peak season. The full day tour fits comfortably within a typical all-aboard window; confirm departure time with operator. Wear enclosed shoes and secure any loose items for the boat run.
