Horizontal Falls.

Well - surprise surprise another fantastic trip to an incredible destination. We took a seaplane from Derby airport across the mud flats and King sound, out to Horizontal falls for an overnight stay on there 1 month old house boat. Bathers on and a quick swim in the shark cage to watch nurse sharks & a Queensland grouper being fed. Steve stroked the sharks, I wasn't as keen, you had to be very careful. Next we jumped onto the Jet Stream Boat (600hp) to take a thrill ride through the horizontal waterfalls, absolutely awesome!!! We watch the stunning Kimberley sunset while the staff cooked our Barramundi dinner. All evening the sharks were swimming around the boat it was fantastic to watch.  Drinks and bed in our own luxury air conditioned cabin. Up 0530am to watch the sunrise and breakfast before another trip on jet stream through the falls. Next back on our seaplane we flew out over the Buccaneer Archipelago back to Derby.
