— Horizontal Falls & Montgomery Reef

For the Ultimate View, Explore Montgomery Reef, and Horizontal Falls Helicopter Tours

Located in the Buccaneer Archipelago, Horizontal Falls, deemed “Australia’s most unusual wonder” by Sir David Attenborough, are created by the extreme tidal movements, with water rushing through the narrow gorges. Horizontal Falls helicopter tours offer a unique perspective, flying low over the majestic and powerful falls. The dramatic cliffs surrounding the falls are made of ancient rock formations, creating a stunning visual contrast against the turquoise waters.

Not far from here, you’ll find Montgomery Reef, which is one of the Kimberley’s most remarkable natural features. At low tide, the reef becomes exposed, creating a fascinating view of reef waterfalls, coral, and marine life. From the air, it’s a striking sight, with the reef’s vibrant colours standing out against the deep blue ocean.

With access primarily by boat or scenic flights, the Buccaneer Archipelago is one of Kimberley’s most famous untouched charms. Don’t just take our word for it! Book a Horizontal Falls flight and see Montgomery Reef from above for yourself.
