Description
Feel the power of the world’s largest tropical tides as you cruise amongst the giant whirlpools and standing tidal waves. Venture into Escape Passage, recently described by scientists as the fastest ocean currents in the world!
The tides on this section of the Kimberley Coast are particularly large due to the area’s geography. When the sun and moon align on a spring tide, the ocean is pulled towards the north-west of WA and Indonesia, gathering speed as it reaches the shallow continental shelf and bottlenecking as it passes between Australia and Indonesia, creating the exhilarating whirlpools and standing waves we see on the tour.
The 2-hour-long Giant Tides Tour departs from the land base at Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm on our amphibious Sealegs vessels. Guests are then transferred to the tour vessel, a 12-seater rib with twin 250-hp engines, ideally suited for the tides of the area.
