Kimberley Cruise Reviews: Top 4 Waterfalls of The Region

The Kimberley is a land of contrasts. The harsh, rugged landscape is beautiful in itself but then it gives way to pristine waterways which carve through the scenery. One of the most awe-inspiring sights is the abundance of natural waterfalls. Although it’s very difficult to narrow it down, we’re sharing our top picks for waterfalls in the Kimberley region which you should visit on your next trip.

1. Mitchell Falls

Found in the Mitchell River National Park, the Mitchells Falls are a stunning sight and have visitors returning time and time again. These four tiered waterfalls need to be seen in real life to really experience their beauty as the rugged red rocks give way to cascading waters. Although swimming isn’t permitted at the bottom of the falls due to presence of crocodiles, there are pools higher up which are perfect for taking a dip.

1. King George Falls

King George Falls are a spectacular set of twin falls which cascade over ancient sandstone cliffs into the gorge below. With a 80 metres drop, King George Falls are the tallest waterfalls in Western Australia and some of the most photographed. The best vantage point to really take in the falls is from a boat and it’s inaccessible by vehicle due to its remote location. Once you climb to the top of the falls, there are a number of pools which are perfect for swimming.

1. Ruby Falls

For a picturesque set of falls, make sure you take the time to visit Ruby Falls. This hidden treasure was only recently discovered by a local charter boat operator. The unique formation of the rocks are perfect for climbing and exploring and there are a number of swimming holes for you to cool off in, not to mention the waterfalls themselves which make for a stunning sight.

1. Horizontal Falls

When it comes to a unique waterfall, you can’t go past the Horizontal Waterfalls located in the Buccaneer Archipelago. This stunning natural phenomenon is created by two closely situated natural gorges and when water rushes through them during tidal changes, it gives the effect of horizontal waterfalls. During these tidal currents, the water level on either side of the gorges can differ by up to ten metres. It’s also possible to drive boats between the two narrow gorges. Unsurprisingly, the Horizontal Falls are one of the most popular choices for scenic Kimberley helicopter flights.
