Horizontal Falls overnight stay

Do it Maggie C. The experience of spending an evening on the placid waters of Talbot Bay adds magic to the sensational experiences of going through the falls. The whole experience is not to be missed. We did our trip with Kimberley Extreme Adventures. They were very good, particularly the landing through the gap in the mountain and the low level flight along Talbot Bay to Koolan Island.

A bit of advice if I may. If you have the flexibility in your time table make sure you book to go when the tides are as bug as possible. We were there with a 10 metre tide and that was why we had the low level flight. The reefs were exposed at very low water. It was awesome.

Hi Maggie,

Maybe the Cat is a new operation, so I dont know about it.

But in 08 we took a flight from Derby to the Horizontal falls and stayed in a houseboat there as part of a package. The flight was great giving a superb view of all the islands and the Horizontal Falls themselves. We had a trip up to and through one of the falls in a purpose built boat, had a short fishing trip before settling in for the night on the houseboat where we were looked after wonderfully. All the crew for the plane, boat and houseboat were aged under about 22 and they did a great job.

It was one of the highlights of our trip. Bit more info here

Cheers,

Val

Maggie Hi,
I did the full day trip a couple of years ago. FANTASTIC. They flew us up to the KC & returned to Derby for more trippers (possibly twice) while they were away crew took us fishing in the dingies, provided lunch etc. The trip over to the Horizontal Falls was in a relay at the right time. There is about 2 hours when the falls are at their best.
Can't remember the cost but was very happy with the trip & very impressed with the staff. You would have to be hard to please not to enjoy.
Regards
Mike.

I would suggest you have a look at this one

We went with them in 2009 and had a great day A family run outfit and has the most powerful boat as well. 500hp

All young guys and really nice but bits of hard cases.

They were actually a $100 PP cheaper from Broome than the other outfit (Extreme) and much better.

They have a boat in the bay for overnighters.

Make sure you get some info as to when the tides are best as neap tides are no good at all.

We waited till the tide was right and it was great except for the boatie

deliberately getting my video camera wet and then saying" I hope thats

waterproof" LOL

Would do it again but too far away now.

tide time linky for that part of WA

We did it with the extreme mob in 09, was a fantastic flight and as has been said they looked after us really well overnight on the houseboat.

Just got home from seeing Leo Sayer at the Melbourne Zoo Twilight Concert,
Great Show. Thank you for your tips and advice, I will go online now to check out all your info.
Thanks again
