Derby to Horizontal Falls Half Day Adventure

Life long Memories

From start to finish. Enjoyed the flight over the flood planes, boat ride was Sensational l swam with the sharks & the scenic flight home took your breath away plus the food was good & staff were so lovely & the lady on the boat was so informative 10/10 hope to come back Wig & Brian from Tassie

Fantastic

Worth every dollar. An experience not to be missed.All of the Staff, , pilots, Were extremely friendly, knowledgeable. The food, scenery amazing . Do not miss it

Turbocharged awesomeness

A truly awesome experience in pristine wilderness. Every staff member was smiling and ready to assist. The planes, the pontoon facilities, the boats were all crewed by very competent people who just wanted to have a much fun as we did but were also very, very safety concious. The lunch was superb, the views while eating it beyond beautiful. Can't recommend this company and their operation to much. Six star rating out of five.

Bucket list item

Seeing the falls and the surrounding area has been on my bucket list since childhood, thank you for making this a special day

The Horizontal Falls...

The Horizontal Falls experience exceeded our expectations. It was amazing Cannot recommend this experience highly enough

Recommend

Very slick outfit. Smooth plane and boat rides. Excellent food. Great crew. Respectful of local culture. An excellent way to see the falls

Fantastic

The whole excursion was terrific, from the pickup to the drop off at the end, was so well organised. Unbelievable area.

Memorable Experience

Friendly and knowledgeable staff with impressive planes and boats providing a memorable experience. Pick the tides and book accordingly to allow for the most action at the ‘falls’ if that’s what you’re after, otherwise, it varies with nature. Plane fight is worth it on its own

What a fantastic day!

What a fantastic day doing the Horizontal Falls tour. A 12 seater (?) Cessna seaplane took us from Derby Airport to the pontoon in Talbot Bay. Hayley and Tommy crewed our boat ride around the bay and then through the wider of the two ‘falls’ right on full tide, before returning for morning tea, and a swim next to the sharks. Another boat ride up the creek to look at the landscapes, with Hayley’s knowledge of the land-based and marine nature very comprehensive. Hayley’s ‘eagle-eyes’ spotted a small ‘salty’ lazing around in the water. Back to the pontoon for a beautiful barbequed barramundi and salad lunch. Then back out on the boat for another go through the ‘falls’ on the outgoing tide, before getting back on the seaplane for our return flight to Derby. Well worth doing.

Staff were amazing which took a tour from a 8 to a 10 - thanks everyone

All quite amazing, the flights in and out and the organisation of the boat tours were very professional and executed with perfection by a energetic and passionate staff.

One of the world's wonders

Well organised from the word go expensive but well worth it. The only blip on the radar was that I had to drive from Broome to Derby to make the trip. This is truly a bucket list experience whatever your age or fitness level.

WOW WOW WOW - what a day - from the minute we were picked up from our caravan park everything was super organised -

What an awesome day - the staff were so helpful and super organised - morning tea was great - lunch was delicious- our ride through the falls -(captained by Hayley) was just the best - go AC/DC - 3 passes were such an adrenaline rush - thank you - we had the best ever day - highly recommend

A great bucket list day of excitement.

We were picked up in Derby and out to the airport. After our briefing we departed in our turbo prop seaplane and climbed out tracking to Horizontal falls. After landing and another briefing we had did one boat trip and then morning tea. Then we saw the shark feeding which was very educational and well presented considering these are not captive sharks. After this we proceeded to the falls. Now the falls is a fast flowing section of water driven by the massive tidal changes in this part of world. After several passes through the gap (the falls) we returned and has fresh Barramundi and salad for lunch. After lunch we then went to grub Island and then we then departed back to Derby. The staff are very professional, knowledgeable and informative. This is a bucket list event and is an amazing day. Things that made out day great, negligible wind for flights, good tidal flow through the gaps for the 'falls' and not too hot,

Fanbloodytastic

Very enjoyable experience. All of the staff were energetic, efficient and with good senses of humour. They all looked like they enjoyed dealing with people. Very professional. The day was action filled and the lunchtime meal was excellent. Going through the falls was the highlight of course. I would recommend this trip to anyone. Congratulations to all involved.

Great Day Out

Amazing day! The Seaplane and boat trip were great, the scenery fantastic and the pilots, boat drivers and all the staff enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Thoroughly enjoyed the day.

The whole trip was great....

The whole trip was great. Beautiful flight, very friendly professional staff and facilities and of course the scenery fantastic. Disappointed we couldn’t go through the falls but understand why.

Don’t miss this

Just a fabulous day. Never wanted to leave and the sea plane ride is smooth with spectacular views of the country.

A fantastic adventure.

The great views flying into King Sound, The knowledge of the staff about the area and wildlife. The absolutely amazing scenery.

Great flights, tasty...

Great flights, tasty lunch, wonderful staff but without the ride through the falls it fell a bit short of expectations.

A magical day in a fabulous landscape; wonderful experience.

The complete experience was nothing short of fabulous. From the Seaplane flight in (and out) to the boat rides through the Falls to the catering and to the welcoming Staff; the day was absolutely magical. Put this tour on your must-do bucket list as you will not regret it one bit. My wife and I have travelled reasonably far and wide in Australia and the World and we rate this experience as high as our experience with swimming with the whale sharks which we rated as the best nature experience we have ever done. So nothing but high praise from us in regards the Horizontal Falls as we would do it again in a heart beat. I must praise all of the Staff, the Pilots, the Boat Skippers and Crew and the welcoming Ladies for all being totally focused on providing a service which ultimately led to only one outcome; an absolutely fabulous day; thank you

Incredible experiences, a few minor concerns

Positives: very friendly & professional staff. Extremely tasty food (Barramundi dinner was delicious). Overnight houseboat rooms are tidy & neat with a nice aircon. Lots of fun activities: swim with sharks, speed boat, sunset cruise etc. Negatives: we were instructed to leave our car at the King Sounds Resort in Derby overnight. While we were gone, our car was broken into. Front window was smashed and a heap of our valuables were stolen. I’d like to suggest that guests don’t leave there car there, or alternatively, horizontal falls may need to find somewhere more secure for their guests to park?? Apparently, word of mouth, lots of cars get broken into there? It has really put me off returning to Derby. I wouldn’t recommend for any of my friends or family to do Horizontal Falls tour if they need to leave their car at King Sounds. Such a shame these things happen, as it really puts people off doing nice things like this. All in all, very pleased with the tour itself. Everything was smooth sailing and we really enjoyed our time.

Unhappy

My husband and I went on this tour yesterday. And am sorry to say we were very disappointed. As we had expectations of an adventure thrill ride on the falls. And it was not like all the brochures and word of mouth we had thought. ( The couple next to us in the boat fell asleep) Then to top it off we returned to our accommodation a sign was just put up with a 10% off . Which equates to $160.00 off. Per couple Total waste of money

Awesome

What a fabulous experience we had. The flight over the Buccaneer Archipelagos was a site to behold. The Horizontal Falls was amazing. Lunch was delicious rating 5 star.

Brilliant

It was the best day ever so well organized and looked after and not rushed will be recommending to all our friends it's a must do

Happy fallers

What a fantastic day we had made even more memorable by the crew who looked after us all day. Beautiful lunch with great company and plenty of thrills through the falls.

Thrilling Adventure

The staff were friendly, very efficient and professional. Never felt rushed. You will view and experience the amazing Horizontal Falls many times over.

Awesome tour experience.

The scenery made possible by all facets of the tour. The boat trip through the falls was both exciting and informative . All the staff were very attentive and pleasant . The young lady who flew the plane was extremely good ,as from my experience over many years. Congratulations to the Company. Richard & Jan Killick.

Will we or won’t we?

We were nervous about the cost when we booked, but WOW it was worth every cent and more. They didn’t skimp on anything. Most amazing experience so far. Would highly recommend, you won’t regret a minute.

AWESOME

The pilot Steve, The crew on the pontoon, the Captain of the fast boat all were exceptional and the lunch was so good

Exceptional

Extremely professional and well organized. Beautiful location, friendly staff and clean environment. We can’t recommend more highly.. such an amazing day.

Terrible after experience

They didn't provide the video package that we brought and won't reply to any emails or phone messages left. Do not buy any of their video packages as it's a con. And you won't receive what you paid for

Another great kimberley experience

Seeing the sceneryfrom the seaplane was unexpected delight. Truly fabulous. Fun experience & really great commentary on boat.

Exhilarating

From the moment to entered the plane to disembarking great. The flyover the falls magnificent. The actual boat ride, with multiple passes through the gaps exhilarating. A truely memorable event. Thanks all.
