The water level rising, or falling, in Talbot Bay (due to the tide) causes a major height difference with the water level in the inlet on the other side of the Falls.

The tidal levels can be clearly seen by the discolouration on the cliff face in several of these images.

Horizontal Falls Adventure Tours offers a spectacular way of not only experiencing the Falls, but also seeing some of the Kimberley - by seaplane!

Talbot Bay is 250km north east of Broome - which is where the seaplane starts its half-day journey.

When you land on Talbot Bay, you transfer to a launch and actually go up the falls. The launch is held on the falls to really savor the experience.

It is not permitted to traverse the second falls as it is too narrow and dangerous.

Included below are some photos taken from the seaplane. Apologies for the quality as they were taken through the plane's window, that, and the gentle vibration of the plane affects the image.

However, they present the colours of the Kimberley and show some shots of the Buccaneer Archipelago and the Kimberley Coast.
