3. As we approach Talbot Bay, the adventure really begins! Hop aboard our tender vessels and get up close and personal with the world-famous Horizontal Falls. Please note: The Horizontal Falls are a natural phenomenon that are ever changing dependent on tides. Due to logistics, Kimberley Day Cruise cannot guarantee the Horizontal Falls will always be flowing upon arrival. We can guarantee however that no matter how fast she flows, she’s always remarkably breathtaking to see. Please note we do not traverse the gap due to safety and cultural reasons in respect of the traditional landowners, The Dambeemangarddee people. After all the excitement, it’s time to sit back, relax and indulge in a 7-course feast of mouth-watering Western Australian seafood and locally sourced ingredients. Our expert chef will prepare each dish with care, while you soak up the stunning views and learn about the unique geography and history of the region from our onboard guide.

• 5Highly recommend

  My daughter who lives in Broome and myself (visiting from Perth) went on the day cruise from Cygnet Bay on the Ohana. We drove ourselves from Broome, about 2 hours and met the group in Cygnet Bay. This cruise was absolutely amazing. The crew were all very professional and friendly with a world of information being given to us along the way through headphones when required. Willy especially had some interesting stories about his family history and culture. The food was absolutely amazing, couldn’t fault anything. The short trip on the tender boats to actually sit on top of the falls was again a very special experience. I give this cruise a 10/10 thanks guys! We also spent the night after the cruise in a clamping tent at Cygnet Bay, such a peaceful place. The tent again was 10/10 couldn’t want for anything else. Comfy bed, aircon, beautiful bathroom, mini fridge and tea and coffee making facilities. They also had a beautiful restaurant and infinity pool to swim in., and also a kiosk open early for drinks and breakfast. The beach was also amazing. All of this and it was so peaceful and quiet. Thank you all, highly recommend.

• 5More than wonderful. Fabulous food. Delightful professional crew and well worth the cost. crew

  The crew was amazing, very knowledgeable, highly professional and very friendly. One of the crew. Willie, was a Bardi man from the islands up where we went and not only was he very personable and professional but also very knowledgeable passing on all sorts of very interesting information about his heritage. Jacob taught us a great deal of information about the geography and geology of the islands we passed. Annabel taught us a great deal about the pearling kndustry. Denis and Amy took care of us and chatted with everybody as did Annabel. Willie and Jacob. The chef cooked high quality, delicious food that kept coming. Every dish was a delicacy and brought out with impeccable timing. There were unlimited pina colada cocktails, champagne, wine, beer available all day. Soft drinks and tea and coffee on demand. All included. The system for transferring us from shore was very efficient as were the zodiac trips to the Horizontal Falls. The boat captains were highly skilled. The Ohana was immaculate and very comfortable with great seats under shade, and good visibility. One could go up top and stand on the prow. The toilets were very clean. It was well worth the cost of the trip and highly recommended. I would do it all again. My friend endorses every word.

• 5Book your once in a life time experience today

  Wow what an incredible experience it was to share with Denis and his knowledgeable team as we discovered the Kimberly coast, the archipelago, learnt about iron ore mining and completed the day with a visit to the horizontal falls. The crew and on board continued to delight us all throughout the day with stories of the region as our onboard chef blew us away with a delicious four course breakfast topped off with a seven course lunch complimented with endless drinks and beverages. We have not stopped talking about our adventure and would encourage anyone to not think twice about reserving your spot on this sensational experience. Book your adventure today - once in a lifetime experience.

• 5Fabulous day cruise

  Fabulous day cruise in a spectacular region. The crew were very professional and knowledgeable. The food was delicious - 4 course breakfast and 7 course degustation lunch. The falls were hardly flowing when we were there due to tide times but still an amazing area to explore. Crew member Willie has great knowledge of the area and many very interesting stories. Highly recommend the trip.

About Broome

Broome is a pearling town on the Kimberley coast of Western Australia, known for camel trains on Cable Beach, red cliffs and enormous tides.

Broome sits on a red-earth peninsula between Roebuck Bay and the Indian Ocean, a pearling port since the 1880s whose Chinatown streets still hold pearl shops and old tin-roofed buildings. Divers from Japan, China, Malaya and the Philippines worked the luggers here, and the Japanese cemetery records the men who died at sea. Sun Pictures, an open-air cinema dating from 1916, still shows films under the stars.
