Located deep within Talbot Bay in the Buccaneer Archipelago are the Horizontal Waterfalls. Massive tidal movements create a waterfall effect as water banks up against one side of the narrow cliff passage, to be repeated again on the turning tide. The twin gaps are part of the McLarty Ranges, which have two ridges running parallel approximately 300 metres apart. The first and most seaward gap is about 20 metres wide and the second, most spectacular, gap is about 10 metres wide. The falls can only be reached by boat or plane

My husband and I recently flew with FLY BROOME to experience the Horizontal Falls we flew over the King Sound over the falls and the Buccaneer Archipelago to Cape Leveque for lunch and a Swim the down to coast back to Broome, the tour company are amazing, from the wonderfully friendly and informative Sadie who picked us up in the bus from our Hotel to the amazing Pilot Eugene who is so passionate about the region and ready with millions of facts about the area. If you get a chance to do this I highly recommend it and recommend Fly Broome.

With the abundance of recent rain the Falls are currently at their best. Walking in from the lower car park affords the glorious tranquility of winter bushland permeated with the music of the rushing stream and a symphony of birdsong. On a fabulously sunny Friday there were plenty of visitors, but well behaved and spread out enough to not intrude on plentiful moments of solitude. Dogs on leashes caused no problems. I would rate even the easiest of the walks just in to the base of the Falls as a medium degree of difficulty due to muddy patches, loose gravel, tree roots etc which require careful navigation at times for elderly or compromised walkers, and close access at the base requires agility and clambering over rocks way beyond my husband's capabilities. Absolutely worth the effort! We drove to the top carpark to take the much easier stroll to the lookouts.

We arrived here, and there were Kangaroos and wild birds everywhere. Its really nice to sit down and have something to eat, with the wild life at your feet. Rangers constantly patrol the area, as your not allowed to feed the wild life. Beautiful views , great walking trails, can even go for a swim in the falls, loved it will be going back

We had a picnic lunch at Fernhook Falls. There is a large undercover seating area with BBQ's and running water available. Not for drinking though. It was raining so a lovely place for our lunch before a walk. There are toilets and the walk trails are well sign posted. The falls were flowing and very pretty. The rocks looked quite slippery so we just stayed on the pathways. It is a gravel road to get there but a good road. We walked through the camping area and they are big sites with toilets, fire pits and there are 2 cabins as well if you want to experience bush camping but have no camper, tent or caravan. There is also another large, undercover camp kitchen in the camping area.

We did this trail with 4 kids, aged between 9 and 12. The ascend was steep but it wasn't impossible. The last 1.3km to the lookout was mostly flat which was a nice break from the incline. Reaching the lookout was amazing. The views from above were spectacular. Serpentine falls looked so small and the air above was so fresh. The descend was a little shaky as the rocks were quite unstable. I recommend finding a nice sturdy stick for stability. The overall trail was great and if you don't mind a bit of a challenge, definitely give it a go.
