Broome to Horizontal Falls Half Day Adventure

About this tour

Fly out from Broome over the Buccaneer Archipelago in a seaplane, landing in Talbot Bay for the main event: a powerboat run through the Horizontal Falls, where tidal forces create a natural spectacle. Between the rushing waters, you'll cruise quieter bays, spot fish from a marine platform, swim, and eat cooked breakfast or lunch aboard. The return flight gives you another aerial perspective of the Kimberley coast. Total time: six hours, hotel pickups included.

Highlights

• Seaplane scenic flight over Buccaneer Archipelago and Cape Leveque
• Powerboat passage through Horizontal Falls tidal phenomenon
• Marine viewing platform with fish feeding and swim opportunity
• Cooked breakfast or lunch with hot beverages on luxury vessel
• Relaxed island and creek cruising between main activities
• Low-level aerial return journey to Broome

What to expect

You'll be collected from your hotel early and head to Broome airport for weight checks and boarding. The seaplane climbs over scattered islands and cliffsides before touching down on calm Talbot Bay waters. From there, a speedboat takes you into the Horizontal Falls—a tidal rush between narrow headlands that shifts dramatically with the day's tides. The ride is exhilarating but brief; afterwards you'll cruise through surrounding bays at a slower pace, watch fish being fed from the marine platform, and have a chance to swim. Breakfast or lunch happens on board your main vessel. The flight back retraces your route in reverse.
