Popular Kimberley Waterfalls During the wet
season the Kimberley puts on an amazing show,
creating spectacular thundering waterfalls.
Kimberley tours Australia can take you on an
adventure through some of the most amazing
Kimberley waterfalls. Here are some of the falls
that you might get to experience with Kimberley
tours from Broome.
Horizontal Falls While technically not a
waterfall, the Horizontal Falls was described
as one of the greatest natural wonders of the
world by Sir David Attenborough. The Horizontal
Falls are located deep within Talbot Bay in
southern Kimberley. The Horizontal Falls are
created by massive tides being pushed through
narrow channels. As the water backs up to four
metres in height, it rushes through the narrow
gap creating a horizontal fall. You can take an
adrenalin fuelled boat ride through the falls, or
view the action from the sky during a scenic
flight. Bell Gorge Waterfall The Bell Gorge
Waterfall is the perfect spot for a picnic and
swim. With large flat rocks which are perfect to
sit on, and a deep pool to relax in. The
waterfall cascades down perfectly U- shaped
rocks. The Bell Gorge contains a series of
waterfalls to explore with Kimberley tours from
Broome. King George Falls The ancient sandstone
cliffs that the King George River plunges over
creates the amazing King George Falls, Western
Australias highest twin waterfall. For the local
Balanggarra people, the
2
falls represent the male and female Wunkurr
(rainbow serpents), and the river is of great
cultural significance. The best time to view the
King George Falls is from late December to early
May when its at its full force. King
Cascades King Cascades is a tranquil terraced
waterfall located in the Prince Regent National
Park. The water cascades from the crystal-clear
pool above, down one level of rocks to the next.
Theres amazing scenery to be enjoyed around the
King Cascades, however you cannot swim here as
large saltwater crocodiles inhabit the area. King
Cascades is a popular stop for many day cruises
as the area is only accessible by boat or scenic
flight. Black Rock Falls This is where the
locals come for a picnic and swim. The Black Rock
Falls gets it name due to the cliffs which have
been stained black over many years due to the
minerals in the water. The best time to view
Black Rock Falls is during the wet season as the
water plunges over 30 metre rock cliffs into the
pristine pool below. The Grotto The Grotto is
probably one of the most well know waterfalls
near Kununurra. The Grotto is a spectacular
sight, with a tranquil rock pool surrounded by
towering cliffs. The walls are covered in moss
and oddly shaped tree roots, and you may even see
goannas on the rock ledges. For those who like
to explore, if you follow the creek you might
find some Aboriginal art on the rock faces. Like
other waterfalls in the Kimberley, The Grotto is
at its peak during the wet season, however the
pool remains all year round. Kimberley tours

truly amazing part of any Kimberley adventure.
