If there is one thing you do in Australia<\/a> besides Uluru\/Ayers Rock<\/a>, it’s the Horizontal Falls. Located at Talbot Bay in the Kimberley region of northern Western Australia<\/a>, I don’t think there is anything quite like this anywhere else. For the Kiwi’s, this is like Sonido dudoso<\/a>, remote, hard to reach, and uniquely beautiful. Unlike Doubtful Sound, though, it’s hot, and the water is full of sharks and saltwater crocodiles, so you don’t want to fall in!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

There is one tour company operating to the Horizontal Falls called Horizontal Falls Seaplane Adventures<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our full day tour itinerary was:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. 5:50 <\/a>am<\/a> pickup at our caravan park<\/li>
  2. Beagle Bay Community and snack<\/li>
  3. Cape Leveque and breakfast<\/li>
  4. One Arm Point Hatchery tour<\/li>
  5. Seaplane to Talbot Bay<\/li>
  6. Swimming with the sharks and fish feeding with replace trolling motor battery<\/a><\/li>
  7. Almuerzo<\/li>
  8. Horizontal Falls speedboat<\/li>
  9. Cyclone Creek cruise<\/li>
  10. Horizontal Falls speedboat<\/li>
  11. Seaplane to Broome<\/li>
  12. Bus drop off at our caravan park just before sunset<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    As you can see it was a full day. I think the only thing more we could have asked for was a pearl farm tour which is available on some of the full day tours instead of the hatchery tour, but the hatchery tour turned out to my much more interesting than we expected so we really have no complaints at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Price<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    I’ll warn you, it isn’t cheap. At AUD$1080 per person for adults, this is the most expensive thing we did on our road trip by a long way. It was even more costly than our campervan hire for the entire time. However, before we made any other trip plans, this is the one thing that we decided to splurge on, and are so glad we did. Yes, it is expensive, but it is absolutely worth it. The trip is fantastic, and you are looked after so well by the team. There is nowhere else you can do anything like this. So if there is one thing you spend the extra money to do, make it this. I can’t recommend it enough!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now, let’s get into the tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5:50 <\/a>am<\/a> Start<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    We were picked up right on time at 5:50 am<\/a> with two other couples that were going on the same tour as us. There were already a few others on the 4WD bus and a few more we still had to pick up before heading out of Broome. The bus that picked us up is a big 4WD vehicle called Big Foot.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Inside<\/a>
    Dentro de Big Foot, el autob\u00fas 4WD que tomamos para nuestro Tour Horizontal Falls<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    It is very similar to other 4WD buses, including those used as school buses in some of the more remote parts of Western Australia<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Big<\/a>
    Gran pie parado en la comunidad de Beagle Bay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    It is a vehicle that has been chosen for its ability to smooth out the rough dirt roads heading north from Broome.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"The<\/a>
    El camino de tierra \u00e1spera entre Broome y Beagle Bay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Within moments of entering the dirt section of Beagle Bay-Broome Road, we appreciated the fat tyres and suspension a great deal.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Even<\/a>
    Incluso en el gran autob\u00fas hay muchas vibraciones.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Even with these features, the road is so corrugated that you are still bouncing around a bit. I imagine it would be a very rough, slow ride in a car. The car and caravan graveyard along the side of the road certainly makes me think bringing a car through here is not the best idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Since we left our campsite before sunrise, we got to see it rising from the bus.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Watching<\/a>
    Viendo el amanecer desde Big Foot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    The height gave us good visibility, but it was pretty harsh on the eyes with it flashing through trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Soon, the dirt road became a bitumen road, and before we knew it, we were at Beagle Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Comunidad de Beagle Bay<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    We arrived in Beagle Bay Community bright and early, parking between Sacred Heart Church, also known as the Pearl Shell Church, and the only public toilet in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \"Sacred<\/a>
    Iglesia del Sagrado Coraz\u00f3n, tambi\u00e9n conocida como Iglesia Pearl Shell en la Comunidad Beagle Bay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Now, being the only public toilet in town and 24 or so people on the bus, there will be a queue.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Toilet<\/a>

    Fortunately, between checking out the church and having some of the provided snacks and drinks, it is easy to space it out, then you aren’t standing in a line unnecessarily.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \"Sacred<\/a>
    Iglesia del Sagrado Coraz\u00f3n, tambi\u00e9n conocida como Iglesia Pearl Shell en la Comunidad Beagle Bay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    The Sacred Heart Church, also known as the Pearl Shell Church, was built in 1917 by missionaries to the region with the help of the Aboriginal community.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"A<\/a>

    It got the pearl shell nickname because of the pearl shell used all through the church and its decorations.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"The<\/a>

    \"One<\/a>

    The snacks and drinks provided are a simple morning tea style snack before breakfast. Cookies and fruit to eat with tea, coffee and water to drink.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a>
    El buf\u00e9 de t\u00e9 de la ma\u00f1ana en Beagle Bay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    It’s not much, but enough to tide you over until your breakfast at the next stop, Cape Leveque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cabo Leveque <\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Turning off the north-bound bitumen road, a rough dirt road brought us into Cape Leveque where we were greeted with a dirt airstrip and the Kooljaman Cafe.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"The<\/a>
    El caf\u00e9 Kooljaman en Cape Leveque<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    The cafe seems to appear all of a sudden out of the trees, and beyond it is the ocean, bordered by vibrant red ochre cliffs and brilliant white sand beaches. Breakfast time.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \"Looking<\/a>
    Mirando desde el caf\u00e9 sobre los acantilados de color rojo ocre a la playa de arena blanca.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    The Kooljaman Cafe is owned by the Aboriginal community, with proceeds going back into the community.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Our<\/a>

    It serves as a general store for the nearby campground, and as a very nice restaurant for travellers and locals.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Breakfast<\/a>
    \u00a1El desayuno est\u00e1 casi listo!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    The Horizontal Falls tour includes a scrumptious breakfast here, and I’d say it’s almost worth doing the tour just to experience the delightful food and accompanying view!<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Pastries<\/a>
    Pasteles y magdalenas estaban disponibles adem\u00e1s de comida caliente.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    We were served what I would describe as a cafe style “Aussie big breakfast” that included baked beans, scrambled eggs, a hash brown, bacon, butter mushrooms, grilled tomato and focaccia bread.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Our<\/a>
    Our Cape Leveque “Big Breakfast.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Meanwhile, we also had access to a buffet style continental breakfast that included amazing fresh muffins, cereal, pastries, and fresh fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"A<\/a>
    Un plato de frutas nuestro desayuno Kooljaman Cafe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Drinks included water, juices and regular hot drinks. However, speciality drinks were extra.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Raugi's<\/a>

    Once we finished our breakfast, we had a little bit of free time to explore the shop, purchase souvenirs if we wanted, and take in the beautiful view.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Tables<\/a>
    Mesas con vista en Kooljaman Cafe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    The cafe is situated at the top of one of the ochre cliffs, so the dining area has a gorgeous ocean view, and the outdoor seating provides a great spot to sit and take it all in.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"The<\/a>
    Los acantilados ocres en Cape Leveque son de un rojo tan brillante<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Back on the bus, our driver and guide took us past the cafe and showed us the campground and the beaches before taking us down to the water where we got out and had a bit of a splash.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n

    The view is entirely different from the water edge looking up and seeing the white sand turn into red rocks and cliffs. I’ve never seen anything quite like it before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Soon though we were back on the bus, with a cold drink in hand provided by our driver, and we are climbing back up the sandy track towards the main road and One Arm Point.<\/p>\n\n\n

    One Arm Point & Aquaculture Hatchery <\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    One Arm Point was our next destination.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Ardiyaloon<\/a>
    Criadero Ardiyaloon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Here, as we made our way through the Ardiyaloon community to the hatchery, our driver told us a little about the history of the area and explained that it is run by the elders of the Bardi people with local laws enforced by the Aboriginal rangers.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"A<\/a>
    Una tortuga t\u00edmida en Ardiyaloon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    It was fascinating to learn about.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Clown<\/a>

    We didn’t know what to expect from the hatchery.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Fish<\/a>
    Pescado en el punto de un brazo \/ criadero Ardiyaloon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    It didn’t seem to us that fish hatching would be all that exciting, but to our pleasant surprise, it was fascinating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The hatchery is divided by tanks.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Tanks<\/a>
    Fish tanks all lined up at Ardiyaloon Hatchery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Each aquarium contains different types of fish and sea life in various environments.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"This<\/a>
    Este era un biggy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Our friendly and extremely knowledgeable guide took as around each aquarium, explaining to us what was in it, and what each of those things does that contributes to the biodiversity of the bay.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Coral<\/a>
    Coral en el criadero de Ardiyaloon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    She explained to us how each of the sea creatures is caught or bred, why, and at what point they are returned to the ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"There<\/a>
    \u00a1Hay tantos tipos diferentes de peces!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    She also told us a little about why the hatchery was started and how successful they had been at breeding the trochus shell and re-introducing it to the surrounding reefs.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"The<\/a>
    El tanque conmovedor donde puedes meter las manos y tocar cosas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    While the whole hatchery tour was fascinating, I’d say the highlight would have to be the archerfish.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Archer<\/a>
    Archer Fish and Coral<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    These remarkable little fish spot potential prey outside of the water and squirt a jet of water at it to knock it in. Our guide showed us a few demonstrations of it, and these fish never missed – though the food in her demonstrations was already dead and unmoving.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"A<\/a>
    Un pez payaso escalofriante<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Some that were there tried holding their hands over the edge of the tank and moved them around a little bit. The fish got them, even squirting one in the face!<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"An<\/a>
    Un surtido de peces en un tanque<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    After the hatchery tour had finished, a local craftsman was selling handmade pearl shell jewellery and sculptures, and we had some free time to browse the hatchery at our leisure.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Hand<\/a>

    Back on the bus, we made our way around to the One Arm Point airstrip where a pair of seaplanes were awaiting our arrival.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n

    Our pilots went through safety and boarding instructions with us before we got on the seaplanes, and then loaded any bags we didn’t need on the plane into the floats. I took on my camera gear, but I wouldn’t want to carry much onto the aircraft at all.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Seaplane<\/a>

    Unless you happen to be the really tall person that gets the back seat with extra leg room (aka the exit row), there is not much space between each row.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Flying<\/a>
    Flying low over the Buccaneer Archipelago<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Unfortunately for us, there happened to be one man that was taller than me on our plane, so he and his partner got that row.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Islands<\/a>
    Islas del archipi\u00e9lago de los Bucaneros<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Inside<\/a>

    So once we were all in and had our harnesses worked out, we took off from the airstrip.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Islands<\/a>
    Islas y aguas cristalinas del archipi\u00e9lago de los Bucaneros<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    The plane, while loud, was not so noisy that we couldn’t talk fairly comfortably, and enjoy the sights as we flew low over the hundreds of islands that make up the Buccaneer Archipelago as it stretches across King Sound.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"There<\/a>
    Hay cientos de islas dispersas a lo largo del archipi\u00e9lago.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Crossing low over the mountains to Talbot Bay was also stunning, and our pilot brought us in at such a low altitude that it seemed our shadow was getting perhaps a little bit too close!<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"First<\/a>
    The first sight of the Horizontal Falls from the sky!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Then we were headed over the Horizontal Falls and looped around a second time to get a good view from the air before coming in to land at Talbot Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a>

    \n
    \"Circling<\/a>
    Rodeando las cataratas horizontales<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Once we had touched down our pilot brought us over to the Horizontal Falls house boats where we debarked our floating plane. We were given a quick run down on the houseboats, where things are, some safety guidelines, and an overview of the plan for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Aboard<\/a>

    Shark Feeding and Swimming with the Sharks<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    This was pretty cool. There are grey nurse sharks and huge batfish in Talbot Bay that are quite friendly and come to the surface for a feed along with a lot of other smaller fish.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Shark<\/a>

    Apparently saltwater crocodiles also come in for a feed sometimes. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see any while we were there.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Feeding<\/a>
    Alimentando al pez murci\u00e9lago<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    From what I read and hear elsewhere about the impact of feeding wild animals, it does make me wonder whether this might affect them negatively if they get too used to it, but I guess these tours are not all year round so it may not be as harmful as places where it occurs all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"A<\/a>
    Una amigable tibur\u00f3n nodriza gris<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Matt<\/a>

    Then it was time to feed the tourists! The menu, BBQ barramundi with assorted salads. The barramundi is morish, served in huge chunks that were moist and cooked to perfection. Possibly the best that I’ve ever had!<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"The<\/a>

    The salads were a little more hit and miss with the tomatoes appearing to have been frozen or partially frozen. I’m not surprised, though, with the heat up there, and the flight time to bring supplies in, it probably has to be at the very least kept almost frozen just to prevent it from spoiling. I wouldn’t let that ruin your day!<\/p>\n\n\n

    We weren’t back for long before it was time to board our seaplane again for the flight back to Broome.<\/p>\n\n\n

    The flight itself was higher than the flight there, with less to see.<\/p>\n\n\n

    After a long day of excitement we were pretty tired anyway, but even so, it was beautiful to watch the wilderness passing below us with the sun starting to set in the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n

    It was still daylight when we landed in Broome, and we were transferred onto a mini-bus.<\/p>\n\n\n

    The driver was handing out DVD’s of the experience, not from our day, but of what we saw.<\/p>\n\n\n

    To our surprise the DVD’s were free! A very pleasant surprise when you usually have to pay for this sort of thing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ahora, si eres como yo, quiz\u00e1s te preguntes qu\u00e9 pas\u00f3 con el conductor y el autob\u00fas 4WD. Bueno, hay una segunda gira que se realiza a la inversa. As\u00ed que vuela directamente desde el aeropuerto de Broome hasta Talbot Bay, y luego desde la bah\u00eda hasta Ardiyaloon. Despu\u00e9s del criadero, tomaron el autob\u00fas 4WD hasta Cape Leveque, Beagle Bay y finalmente regresaron a Broome aproximadamente al mismo tiempo que nosotros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Nuestro conductor nos llev\u00f3 de regreso a nuestro parque de caravanas alrededor de las 6:00 pm, justo antes de que se pusiera el sol y con el tiempo suficiente para conducir hasta Cable Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Decidimos salir de nuevo a Cable Beach para ver el atardecer.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Era tan hermoso como la noche anterior, y con muy pocas nubes no era muy diferente en absoluto.<\/p>\n\n\n

    In spite of the similarity between the two nights we were there, we would still watch it again if we go back. It’s just so beautiful and peaceful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mercados nocturnos de Broome<\/b> <\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    En nuestro camino de regreso al parque de caravanas notamos que algo estaba encendido. \u00a1Result\u00f3 ser el mercado nocturno de Broome!<\/p>\n\n\n

    Most people were chilling on the grass with a meal and enjoying the atmosphere, it was great! We got a bite to eat since we hadn’t had any dinner yet, and spent a little while there experiencing the Broome nightlife before heading back to the caravan park and a well-deserved sleep.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

    If there is one thing you do in Australia besides Uluru\/Ayers Rock, it’s the Horizontal Falls. Located at Talbot Bay in the Kimberley region of northern Western Australia, I don’t think there is anything quite like this anywhere else. For the Kiwi’s, this is like Doubtful Sound, remote, hard to reach, and uniquely beautiful.
