Overview

The Horizontal Falls are a fast-moving tidal flow through two narrow, closely aligned gorges of the McLarty Range, located in Talbot Bay. The direction of the flow reverses with each change of tide. As tides in the Kimberley can reach 10 metres, a peak tide gives rise to a significant difference in the sea level on either side of each gorge. Travelling by land, air and sea - Horizontal Falls offers full and half day tours to experience this natural phenomenon.

Please advise the best day for tide from the following two options. Sun 20th Aug or Sat 26th Aug for the all day tour .

I think that it's best to contact the company. They deal with the tides. Another possible source of information is the Broome Visitor Centre. You could contact them & they would probably be able to advise. Good luck!

Thinking of doing the all day tour to Horizontal Falls next weekend. Could you please advise how bumpy it will be on the bus & during the boat trip through the falls, as I have a small back issue. I am assuming you take more senior visitors on these tours?

AnswerShow all 8 answers

You are best to speak to the company running the tours re the medical issues you have. I am just a traveller and don't have back issues so can't recall if it would be a problem or not for you.
