- The Horizontal Waterfalls is a natural phenomenon which is tide dependent with variable flow. Whilst the staff do their best to arrive at a time of optimum flow, the amount or level of water flowing through the Horizontal Waterfalls at any given time cannot be guaranteed.
- Tours will not be scheduled for any days less than 1-meter tidal variation.
Passenger Weight:
- For safety and operational requirements Air Kimberly observes a maximum individual weight of 120kg per person for all scenic tours.
Luggage Restriction:
- Luggage is restricted to a maximum of 5kg per person.
- A small backpack or soft bag is recommended and will be stowed in the aircraft's luggage hold.
Aircraft:
- Typically, a Cessna 182, 200 series or GA8 Airvan, which are the ideal aircraft for Kimberley conditions. These are usually fitted with up to 7 passenger seats and have a high wing design, which creates greater stability and allows optimum viewing. This type of aircraft can also cover great distances very quickly, making them ideal for tours into even the most remote and often inaccessible Kimberley attractions.
