Horizontal Falls Seaplane Adventure & Boat Ride

Fly by seaplane over the Buccaneer Archipelago's tidal labyrinth and then surge through the legendary Horizontal Falls aboard a high-speed tender — one of David Attenborough's 'Seven Natural Wonders of the World'.

What to expect

Your floatplane departs from a mothership anchorage and banks low over hundreds of pearl-white islands before alighting on Talbot Bay's calm waters. At the pontoon you board a purpose-built jet boat and are briefed on the extraordinary tidal phenomenon: millions of tonnes of seawater forced through two narrow gorges creating a waterfall that flows horizontally. The boat punches through the surge repeatedly — thunderous, thrilling, unforgettable. A seafood lunch on the pontoon follows before your seaplane return.
