What to expect
Your day begins with a fixed-wing flight from Broome showing the vastness of the Kimberley landscape. In Derby you board a helicopter for closer views of mudflats, Kimbolton ranges, and the main event: Horizontal Falls. The 120-minute flight includes narration from the pilot. After landing, a powerboat accelerates you through the falls themselves—you'll feel the tidal surge. The floating pontoon becomes your lunch spot with fresh barramundi, then you explore nearby creeks by boat with guides explaining the area's ecology and Aboriginal heritage. Swimming in the designated enclosure is optional but popular.
