- Day 5: Experience the Horizontal Falls
Leave Cygnet Bay and board the luxury vessel Ohana for a shared full-day adventure to Horizontal Falls. Though not a traditional waterfall, this natural wonder occurs when the Southern Hemisphere’s second-largest tidal movements force massive amounts of water through two narrow gorges, creating the illusion of a horizontal cascade. You won’t pass directly through the falls, but you’ll witness the raw power of the surging waters from a safe yet exhilarating vantage point.
During the cruise, enjoy a 4-course breakfast and a 7-course degustation lunch served on board, making for a truly indulgent and memorable day.
