Horizontal Falls moving from thrill ride to Indigenous cultural experience

Dambeemangaddee traditional owners and Western Australia are changing the Horizontal Falls. The change is from tourist speedboat rides to a respectful First Nations experience.

Why it mattersThe change shows growing recognition of Indigenous rights and control over tourism. It reshapes how Australians engage with sacred natural sites.

AustraliaVisitors planning trips to the Kimberley's Horizontal Falls should know the speedboat thrill rides end in 2028; future access will depend on new culturally guided experiences being developed by Dambeemangaddee guides.
