KING GEORGE FALLS, AUSTRALIA

-

 

The King George River plunges over an ancient sandstone cliff into tidal waters, creating the truly astounding spectacle of King George Falls – Western Australia’s highest twin waterfalls.

The river is of high cultural significance to the Balanggarra people, for whom the falls are the male and female Wunkurr (Rainbow Serpents).

Get your dress-circle seats aboard a luxury Kimberley cruise and gaze in wonder at an ancient wilderness coast, experienced only by a privileged few.  A scenic flight over this stunning waterfall will be etched in your memory for years to come.

Explore soaring red gorges, ancient sandstone cliffs, plunging waterfalls and the paradise of hundreds of tiny islands and secluded beaches known as the Buccaneer Archipelago.
