All About

Kings Cascades

Highlights

King Cascades are a must-see Bucket List attraction when visiting the Kimberley region of Western Australia, only accessible by a scenic cruise or scenic flight.

A waterfall moment at the beautiful King Cascades is one of the highlights of a Kimberley coastal cruise through one of the last untouched wilderness areas on Earth. Located on the Prince Regent River in the Kimberley, King Cascades can be accessed by joining a cruise from Broome, Wyndham or some of the remote luxury coastal camps that dot the north Kimberley coast. Scenic flights from Broome, Kununurra, outback stations and wilderness retreats may also include a visit to the Prince Regent River region.

Take a moment to watch the mesmerising spectacle of fresh water cascading over the ancient terraced rock formations and, if you choose to cruise, don’t miss the opportunity to snap a photo standing on the front deck of the boat as you take a refreshing shower under the falls. You can also take a walk and make the climb above the falls for a dip in the natural swimming pool, surrounded by lush ferns and the sounds of nature – Prince Regent River provides a haven for more than half of the Kimberley's native mammal and bird species.

Tourists are advised to check for alerts and road/park closures before commencing their travel on www.emergency.wa.gov.au and https://alerts.dbca.wa.gov.au
