After dropping our backpack into our cute little cabin with an amazing view on the house boat we were sleeping on that night, we boarded the fast boat &#8220;Jet Stream&#8221; for an exhilarating thrill ride though the Horizontal Falls. We had all the toys attached to the house boat including a helicopter for our enjoyment. That night we enjoyed a yummy barramundi BBQ and a few wines with our fellow travellers. Only 24 of us. After brekkie the next day we were back out on the fast boat for another trip over the falls before boarding our plane back to Derby. It was certainly a highlight of our trip !!!!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2494\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2494\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a
