About King George Falls
King George Falls are Western Australia's highest twin waterfalls, where the King George River plunges approximately 80 metres over an ancient sandstone cliff directly into tidal waters of the North Kimberley coast. The falls are set within a dramatic gorge flanked by towering red sandstone walls and are inaccessible by land, making them accessible only by sea cruise or scenic flight. The experience of floating in a tender boat beneath the twin curtains of falling water is one of the Kimberley's most extraordinary moments.
