How We Choose Tours

Every bookable trip to the Horizontal Falls on this site sits in a single list: seaplane and jet boat adventures, scenic flights above the Buccaneer Archipelago, and cruises departing Broome, Derby or Cygnet Bay. The point is simple, compare before booking.

Our Review Process

This is an independent comparison guide for the Horizontal Falls, the tidal spectacle in Talbot Bay, deep within the Buccaneer Archipelago of Western Australia's Kimberley. It tracks 14 bookable tours across three styles: seaplane and jet boat adventures, scenic flights, and cruises and expeditions. Prices run from A$780 to A$24,950, and every listing shows duration, operator and rating together, so the trade offs are visible before you commit.

Where The Facts Come From

Prices, ratings, durations, inclusions and cancellation terms are taken from each tour's live booking page. Background on tides, marine parks, seasons and vessel rules comes from official and operator sources. Nothing here is invented.

How This Site Earns Money

When a visitor books through a link on this site, a small referral fee is earned at no extra cost to the visitor. No tour is operated here, and no operator can pay for placement or ranking.

How This Site Earns

Only the seaplane and jet boat tours, plus the Kimberley Day Cruise departures, put you on a boat at the falls. Scenic flights stay overhead. Tides in Talbot Bay reach up to 11 metres, and water levels on either side of the gaps can differ by up to 5 metres, which is what makes the falls flow.
