Horizontal Falls & Dampier Peninsula Tour ex Broome(Drive/Fly|Fly/Drive)

The flight time from Broome to Talbot Bay is approximately 1 hour 30 minutes.

Due to aircraft weight restrictions, we cannot guarantee that you will travel on the same aircraft as other people within your travelling party. Children (aged 4-12 years) and their parents/guardians are guaranteed to travel on the same aircraft.

Horizontal Falls is a seasonal attraction, so Horizontal Falls Seaplane Adventures only operates tours seasonally, and the commencement and conclusion dates are subject to change each year. You can view our Season Dates here.

Your luggage allowance is limited to: (a) for single day Tours, one small backpack weighing not more than 2kg; and (b) for overnight Tours, one small backpack weighing not more than 5kg. Your luggage must not contain any items which in our reasonable opinion are dangerous, illegal, liable to harm or annoy other guests, or otherwise unsuitable. Luggage limits are enforced. You will be required to leave any excess luggage at the point of embarkation for the duration of the Tour, which will be stored at your risk and cost. You will be responsible for any shipping to the point of disembarkment or such other address as you notify.

What to bring: A small bag or backpack (no more than 2kg). Refillable water bottle. Sun protection. Camera. Change of clothes. Closed toe footwear (no thongs). Swimwear and towel. Any personal medication or essential toiletries you require.

During the season, to ensure that passengers have the best possible experience witnessing the incredible tidal power of the Horizontal Falls, we do not operate on days when there are neap tides. Neap tides are when there is the smallest difference between low and high tides.

NO FALLS / WATER MOVEMENT GUARANTEE: We only operate Tours on days when predicted tidal movements are not Neap. Neap tide block out dates can be found on our website. We also specify particular dates on which water movement is expected to be slow. Water movement may be slow from time-to-time even on dates not designated as ‘slow water’ days due to the changing times of daily tidal movements.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you have a suitable level of health and fitness to undertake the Tour. You are required to have a reasonable level of mobility, to be able to board and alight aircraft using stairs and maintain balance on pontoons.

We strongly advise that women who are at any stage of their pregnancy seek professional medical advice prior to travel.

To ensure the conservation and preservation of the Lalang-garram / Horizontal Falls Marine Park, and to provide opportunities for Dambeemangarddee Traditional Owner employment, fees apply to all visitors – this is included within your final tour cost.

During mid tide dates, the tidal movements are minimal meaning the horizontal waterfall is relatively inactive making for a scenic boat cruise and an opportunity to take in spiritual and historical significance of the area in a more relaxed setting.

You acknowledge that you will be weighed at boarding and we reserve the right to refuse to board you and to cancel your booking if your weight is more than 2kg above the weight you declared at the time of you made your Booking. No refunds will be payable in these circumstances.

If your weight has increased after making your Booking, please contact us at least 32 days prior to the commencement of your Tour to discuss options that may be available to accommodate you. If we are unable to accommodate your increased weight, we will cancel your booking and provide you with a full refund of funds received by us at that time. Prior to paying the refund, we may require you to provide evidence to substantiate your weight gain. If you contact us less than 32 days prior to commencement of your Tour and we are unable to accommodate your weight gain, then you will be considered to have cancelled your booking and no refunds will be payable.

We may need to make amendments or modifications to the itinerary of your booked Tour and its inclusions and you acknowledge our right to do this. Most changes will not be significant. If we become aware of any significant changes to your Tour’s itinerary or its inclusions that materially detract from the overall characteristics or value of the Tour (where we determine it can still proceed), then we will notify you within a reasonable time and you may elect to: proceed with the Tour, in which case we will refund you an amount attributable to the reduction in value determined by us acting reasonably; or cancel your Tour, in which case we will refund you all payments received by us at that time. If you do not make an election in writing within 7 days of us notifying you of the significant change (or within a reasonable shorter timeframe where the change is notified nearer to your Journey’s commencement), then you will be deemed to have elected to proceed with the Tour.

You acknowledge that the itinerary and/or the Tour’s inclusions may need to change during your Tour due to local circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to poor weather, sea conditions and aircraft maintenance requirements. In these circumstances we will endeavour to make suitable alternative arrangements.

Even so, the Horizontal Falls is a natural phenomenon which is dependent on tides. The experience differs from day-to-day and time-to-time. Although your Tour will include a power boat experience through the location of the Horizontal Falls, we cannot guarantee and we expressly disclaim any guarantee that your Tour through the Horizontal Falls will be at a time when water movement is to your preference. You acknowledge that for safety and cultural reasons, your power boat experience will travel through the ‘wide gap’ and not the ‘narrow gap’.

Risk Acceptances & Waivers: You acknowledge that your Tour may expose you to inherent personal risks which may be greater than those present in your everyday life. This could be because of the adventurous nature of the Tour, travelling through and visiting remote destinations, and interactions with wildlife. You travel on the basis that you accept these inherent risks and that to the fullest extent permitted by law we will not be responsible for any personal injury or death resulting from the materialisation of an inherent risk.

Where a vehicle, vessel or aircraft is equipped with seatbelts, you must always wear your seatbelt when onboard. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our liability to you for any personal injury, death or other damages or claims arising from an accident or incident involving a vehicle, vessel or aircraft you are travelling on as part of the Tour will be limited or excluded to the extent your failure to wear a supplied seatbelt contributed to or caused your injury or death.

Smoking (including e-cigarettes or vaping) is not permitted on any vehicles, vessels or aircraft, but is permitted in designated areas of pontoons.

After the product is successfully booked, we will send you a confirmation voucher. The main information about the reservation and the precautions for participation will be provided on the confirmation voucher. Please read it. If you do not have any feedback, we consider that you have read and know all the information on its confirmation.

As an intermediary agency, we are only responsible for making travel product reservations for tourists.

We recommend that tourists purchase travel insurance. Tourist product suppliers such as tourist attractions, hotels and transportation companies will be directly responsible for the quality, service and safety of travel products. We are not responsible for any safety issues with the products ordered.

In the event of an unexpected situation without insurance, we will only assist in handling it.

If the booking is forcibly cancelled due to the reasons of the travel product supplier, we will refund the full amount corresponding to the booking without additional compensation.

No show: Ticket holders who 'no show' without prior cancellation or notification are not eligible for a refund.

We will try our best to assist tourists to communicate and negotiate solutions with tourism product suppliers.

For some marine products (including but not limited to various cruises, whale watching cruise, etc.), the supplier reserve the right to arrange alternative vessels or make changes to itineraries, service timetables, routes and/or destinations. The supplier may cancel or abandon the cruise if they consider it necessary for weather or safety reasons and except as expressly stated in these Terms and Conditions, we will not be liable for any loss or expense incurred by the Passenger caused by such substitution or cancellation.

When visiting attractions or participating in activities, please strictly adhere to the instructions provided by the venue or staff. Ensure you fully understand the associated risks (refer to venue announcements or the safety waiver required for signature for specific details), cooperate as required to implement appropriate safety precautions, and strictly refrain from engaging in any dangerous behaviors during the activity.
