A true icon of the Kimberley Coast, Horizontal Falls elicits a rush of exhilaration as you witness the sheer power and mesmerising beauty of the tidal currents rushing through narrow gorges. Huge 12 metre tidal movements create a waterfall effect as they're forced through narrow cliff passages demonstrating the immense power of the Kimberley tides and a spectacular show of the beauty of nature. Take an exhilarating ride through this natural phenomenon, once described as “one of the greatest natural wonders of the world” by Sir David Attenborough – an awe inspiring, once in a lifetime experience.

Witness the breathtaking transformation as this magnificent reef emerges from the depths of the Indian Ocean with the ebb of mammoth 11-metre tides. A symphony of rushing water unveils a mesmerising sight: a sprawling flat-topped reef adorned with enchanting rock pools and meandering rivulets. Take a tender excursion to experience this natural phenomenon up close. Discover the reef’s diverse marine life including turtles, manta rays, reef sharks and dugongs.

Immerse yourself in the enthralling dance of swirling eddies and captivating whirlpools, as the gravitational pull of the moon orchestrates this water-borne drama. And just as quickly as it appeared, Montgomery Reef surrenders to the incoming tide, submerging beneath the surface, leaving only traces of its magnificence behind.
