Horizontal Falls, located in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, is a natural phenomenon where tidal movements create powerful waterfalls that flow horizontally. This unique spectacle occurs in the narrow gorges of the McLarty Range, where massive tidal fluctuations—up to 10 meters—push water through two narrow chasms, creating rapid, waterfall-like currents. Often described as one of the greatest natural wonders of the world, Horizontal Falls can be viewed by boat or seaplane, offering an exhilarating experience for visitors.
