From $1785 per person
Scenic seaplane flights, heart-pumping fast boat rides, and a unique luxury 24 Hour stay!

This amazing 24 hour experience showcases the rugged, ancient beauty of the Buccaneer Archipelago and its hundreds of islands, and of course the wondrous spectacle of the Horizontal Waterfalls, a natural phenomenon created by the massive 11 metre tides creating a huge rush of water to and from the inner bays.

This is your ONLY chance to experience both the incoming AND the outgoing tide of the Horizontal Falls.

  • Refresh in the cooling clear waters of Talbot Bay in our huge marine viewing cage, protected from sharks and crocodiles.
  • Get up close with the amazing marine life while your guide points out the many species of fish and inquisitive sharks (snorkelling gear provided).
  • Wind down after an action packed day onboard Horizontal Falls Seaplane Adventures’ luxury houseboat, the Jetwave Pearl.
  • Enjoy a night of peaceful seclusion on Talbot Bay and relax in the comfort and convenience of your air-conditioned ensuite cabin.

  • Feast on a delicious dinner from our resident chef including the catch of the day and quality local produce.
  • Marvel at one of the most incredible night skies you’ll ever see from our stargazing deck.

  • All weights are recorded in KG’s
 
  • SEATING RESTRICTIONS
Passengers can request to be seated together on the same aircraft; however, this is not guaranteed due to strict weight limits per aircraft. Multiple aircraft carry passengers on the same tour each day, therefore on rare occasions, larger parties may need to be split up depending on individual passenger weights and prior notice will be given. Children (aged 4-12 years) and parents are guaranteed to always be seated on the same aircraft.
  • CHILDREN
Minimum age for Guests is 4 years and all children must be accompanied by an adult carer.

All our tours feature a ride through the Horizontal Falls on a Fast Boat, which contains a certain degree of risk.

The Horizontal Falls are a natural phenomenon influenced by fluctuating tides that vary daily. For safety reasons we cannot guarantee passage through the narrow gap on all days.
  • NEAP TIDES
The Horizontal Falls are a natural phenomenon influenced by fluctuating tides that vary daily. As this is the case, operations only take place when the predicted tidal movements are not neap, to avoid taking guests out when there is the least difference between high and low tide.

HFSA operates seasonally from March to November 2022 and exact season and individual tour commencement and conclusion dates are subject to change.
