*The Horizontal Waterfalls is a natural phenomenon which is tide dependant with variable flow. Whilst we do our very best to arrive at a time of optimum flow, we cannot guarantee the amount or level of water flowing through the Horizontal Waterfalls at any given time. Please note, should for any reason the Ardyaloon Community close, the hatchery will be replaced with a visit to Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm.
