Unforeseen Circumstances
Kimberley Day Cruise has the right to cancel or change tours due to unforeseen circumstances. Due to the remote location of this tour there are significant logistical challenges, particularly the weather.
Safety is a primary focus at Kimberley Day Cruise. If on the morning of your departure our skipper deems it unsafe to board the vessel due to weather at the original departure time, a shortened ‘highlights of the Kimberley’ tour will be provided or guests can receive full refund.
Travel Insurance

Menu
Dietary requirements must be advised prior to boarding the vessel. Our menu is subject to change due to produce availability. Alcoholic beverages are not included. Sold at bar prices.
Horizontal Falls
The Horizontal Falls are a natural phenomenon that are tidal dependant. Due to the logistics of the tour, Kimberley Day Cruise cannot guarantee the Horizontal Falls will always be flowing on arrival. You will encounter the majesty of the Horizontal Falls entrance from the comfort of our tender vessels without using tenders to pass through.
Our concerns for the safety of guests align with the Dambimangari traditional owners and so our tour does not include traversing the falls. Guests will still board a fast boat and cruise right up close to the majestic Horizontal Falls (Lalang-Garram).
