A Tidal Phenomenon in WA: Discover Horizontal Falls

Category: Inspiration, News, Date: 23 July 2025

Famously dubbed ‘one of the greatest natural wonders of the world’ by Sir David Attenborough, Horizontal Falls are a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. Hidden deep within Western Australia’s iconic Kimberley region, these rare tidal waterfalls are among the most unique natural phenomena on the planet. Framed by rugged red cliffs and turquoise waters, the falls create a dramatic spectacle that is simply begging to be explored!

Accessible only by seaplane or helicopter, Horizontal Falls are formed by powerful tidal movements that force water through a narrow gap in twin mountain ranges—creating a rare and dramatic sideways waterfall effect. The powerful swirling waves and turquoise waters are a truly spectacular sight.  

Located in the remote Buccaneer Archipelago—home to over 1,000 islands—Horizontal Falls sit amid a paradise of rainforests, mangroves, secluded beaches, and dazzling tropical waters. It’s one of the most extraordinary places on Earth, and it’s right here in our own backyard.
