HORIZONTAL WATERFALLS
Getting ready for our flight
After such a wonderful time in the Bungles we headed off to Derby. The main reason for us going there was to go to the Horizontal Waterfalls. Everyone we spoke to who had been there told us how good it was.
This was the highlight of our trip. Words cannot describe this place. We left Derby about 2.30p.m. on a float plane. Flew over some of the most spectacular scenery and landed on the water in one of the most remote areas of Australia. We were then taken to our beautiful 50 metre catamaran for our overnight stay. Only takes 10 people and there were 6 of us along with 4 other people.
After being shown to our cabins we then set off on a jet boat to go through the horizontal waterfalls. The falls have been created by the huge tides that come in from the ocean through the narrow crevices and can get up to 11 metres high. The jet boat goes up and through the falls several times and it certainly gave us all an adrenalin rush. This is an amazing place. I think the pictures are the only way to describe it.
After the 
Flying out of Derby
The mud flats from the air look like treesjet boat ride the boys went fishing and Phil caught a huge jew fish whilst the girls stayed on board drinking champagne. We had barramundi for dinner and watched the well fed sharks circling the boat. A really truly wonderful experience.
The next day we were up at 5.30am ready to have breakky and another ride through the falls to leave by 7.15 but as luck would have it there was a fog in Broome so our plane was late. We had a bonus trip down Cyclone Creek and an extra few hours of relaxing. None of us wanted to leave this pristine place.
We said our good byes to the crew and had the most awesome flight back to Derby flying very low over the Buccaneer Archipelago.
Cannot describe this experience all I can say is if you are ever up this way you MUST do this trip.
