Horizontal Falls

Departing Broome, you track over the Chinatown district of Broome, sweeping over Roebuck Bay and surrounds. The flight path takes you over Malcolm Douglas Crocodile farm and the Broome Road before heading towards the Dampier Peninsula. As you fly past the millions of hectares of station land, rich in Aboriginal Heritage, your pilot will regale you with stories and the history of the area before you enter the area known as the Buccaneer Archipelago. Looming ahead will be the Kimbolton Ranges, an ancient coastal seabed of the region. These ancient relics are the product of a once Devonian reef system. The thousands of islands that form the Buccaneer Archipelago become distinct. You are now over pristine pearl farming waters where only a few pearl farms of the archipelago become visible. Photo opportunities abound here. The Horizontal Waterfalls soon come into sight as the aircraft is positioned to get the perfect view from the window. This magnificent example of Mother Nature’s power is closely aligned between the gorges of the McLarty Range, located in Talbot Bay. The Horizontal Falls are a fast moving tidal flow through two narrow fingers, the direction of the flow reverses with each change of tide. As tides in the Kimberley can reach ten metres, a peak tide gives rise to a significant difference in the sea level on either side of each gorge, which creates the rushing water and illusion of the Horizontal Falls. Flying over Talbot Bay, the home of the famous Paspaley Pearling Empire, you see the hundreds of long lines each housing the valuable oysters that cultivate the pearl. Your Pilot weaves through the islands of Cockatoo and Koolan (mining empires) and heads towards Cape Leveque where the red rock cliffs meet the white sandy beaches bordering the pristine blue waters.

At Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm you are escorted on a tour to take you behind the scenes of one of Australia’s most secretive industries. You are taken on the sea to view a real-life working pearl farm, offering you the unique opportunity to witness the beauty of this area from the water as well as from the air. Cruise through the Kimberley rock islands in the Sunday Island group on the powerful boat and view the standing waves and whirlpools- *NOTE* If the tides are in neaps the boat will cruise the island group, created by this region’s giant tidal movements. At the end of this incredible boat tour enjoy the opportunity to browse Cygnet Bay’s stunning loose pearls and exquisite pearl jewellery. You might like to take the opportunity to purchase your own. You will then feast on a delicious gourmet lunch at the Cygnet Bay Restaurant. After lunch, you head back to the skies for a quick forty five minutes of flying back to Broome.

I had a fantastic day with our pilot George who was super friendly and knowledgable of the area. Small things such as knowing all our names straight away and having water and cold towels to hand was a nice touch too. The day was seamless with a mix of down time at Cygnet Pearl Farm (great cafe for light bites and coffee) to the adventure of the boat trip and scenic flight. I also have to mention Leisa in the office who was unbelievably kind and determined to get me booked onto something for my short time in Broome. Being a solo traveller I heavily rely on other bookings to make a scenic flight viable (minimum of 4 passengers is standard practise for flights). Leisa worked relentlessly hard to get me onto a flight to see the Horizontal Falls and I’m so pleased it worked out. A lovely company, with prompt replies and friendly staff. Thank you.
Fast, fun and unique.

Perfect timing… who would have guessed we picked the once in a year Silver Moon and 10metre tide… the tour is a must if you are visiting Broome. See the horizon falls too… big shout out to our pilot Megan. What a delight, and excellent flying & commentary.

We had an amazing flight over the Horizontal Falls and then lunch at Cygnet Bay Pearl farm. Our pilot (Michael) was absolutely brilliant, his professionalism and friendly nature added so much to the day - thank you Michael. Seeing this incredible place via air is something to behold, awesome. Lunch and the tour at the pearl farm was a great way to complete a special day.

You cannot comprehend the force of the tidal movement and the sheer volume of water. The boat was ok. The seats were very cramped, not a lot of space.
A day of wonderful experiences

We booked this tour which unfortunately was cut short due to the bad weather. The pilot did try to fly us through the weather but in the end decided it wasn’t safe so turned back. He was able to give us a comprehensive aerial tour of the Broome area which was great. The company only charged us the equivalent of the Broome sight seeing flight and refunded us the difference which came through within 2 days. Thanks Siggy for all your help with this.

The flight over the Horizontal Falls was amazing & the pilot Max was very informative. Cygnet Bay was a stunning location & included breakfast & lunch which was fine. However after the pearl farm tour Broome Aviation had neglected to add my name on the sea safari tour, so I was not on the manifest to board the boat to see the whirlpools & waterfall reef. This meant I had to wait at Cygnet Bay for 2 hours & was given a free drink voucher…this was very very disappointing as the tour cost me $1145 & left me feeling flat for the rest of the trip home. I was refunded $343 which I felt was poor considering it was the company’s mistake. So I will not be recommending this tour to others.
Disappointed with Broome Aviation

My wife and I went on this tour on Monday 29 May 2023. The tour for us was overall interesting and scenic. However we were disappointed in a few aspects of Broome aviation. The initial booking process with Siggy was good after Viatourcould not automatically confirm it online. However the night before the tour we did not get contacted for confirmation of the all important pickup times until 10:10pm, very late, after we had chased up Broome Aviation on the phone. The next day we were worried on the flight that we were in the back two seats of the small 6 seater Cessna with a rather immobile elderly woman and her large daughter seated in the two seats in front of us adjacent the exit doors. If there had been an emergency landing and exit there would be very little prospect of us getting out fast because of the immobility of the two middle seat passengers. We believe Broome Aviation did not take any due consideration of ensuring the exit row passengers were suitable for sitting in that location. The safety was questionable in my opinion. A further disappointing aspect was that one lady on our tour missed out on the boat trip from the Cygnet Bay pearl farm. This was apparently because Broome Aviation did not make the relevant booking with the boat operator. The lady was extremely disappointed and the rest of us felt terrible as well. The lady who missed out had to wait around for the couple of hours with very little to do. She did not get a full refund for the day and only got a $343 refund for the boat component. We believe this is very ordinary on Broome Aviation’s part. All in all I do not recommend the tours offered by Broome Aviation.

We had a fantastic time flying to the Horizontal Falls with Broome Aviation. Our pilot Max was professional, knowledgeable of the areas we were flying over and did everything he could to ensure our flight/tour was the most comfortable. We found the Giant Tides tour to be value for money. It is an experience that will be remembered. The flight path provides excellent photo opportunities. 10/10 to Max and the team at Broome Aviation. When next in Broome we will definitely check out the other tours on offer.
