As with all scenic seaplane adventures, safe aircraft loading is paramount.

All guests are weighed upon boarding for weight verification and safe loading of the aircraft. In addition to the individual weights, they also have an upper weight limit of no more than 120kg.

Horizontal Falls does not operate on neap tide dates. If your booking falls on a neap tide, the tour itinerary excludes the Horizontal Falls experience and the tour price has been discounted accordingly.
