The Day Has Arrived

HORIZONTAL FALLS day trip, it was just fabulous! We flew from Derby in the seaplane, with the flight being about 30 minutes.
Flying in this was our view of the horizontal falls at low tide, lucky for us one of the best tides of the year. Our day in the area meant that we got to experience three trips between the two gorges.
Top gorge, at low tide and high tide, the drop being four metres.
Bay at full tide, at low tide 70% of this  water has disappeared and the water is still 40 metres deep.
Lemon sharks hear the seaplanes and then line up for a feed, you can swim in a cage off the floating pontoon to see them underwater.
Flight home this gives you bit of an idea of the speed of the water when you see the different colour swirls of the water around the Buccaneer Archipelago.
