A GLIMPSE OF THE SIGNATURE
EXPERIENCES THAT AWAIT
The King George River plunges an incredible
80 metres over a sandstone cliff into tidal waters,
to create the magnificent King George Falls. Cruise
to the base of this Kimberley treasure and be awed
by the highest waterfall in Western Australia.
Experience the dramatic Horizontal Falls aboard
an exhilarating Zodiac or high powered fast boat ride.
Witness the intense 12-metre tidal currents rushing
through two narrow gorges. David Attenborough
has described the phenomenon as "one of the
greatest natural wonders of the world".
As the tide of Montgomery Reef recedes,
Australia's largest inshore reef offers a stunning array
of marine life. Whales, dolphins, turtles, rays and reef
sharks are all known for inhabiting these pristine waters.

of wildlife as well as intriguing Indigenous rock art.
