Although they are called waterfalls, they actually consist of intense tidal currents hurtling through two narrow gorges. Massive tidal movements create a waterfall effect as water banks up against one side of the narrow cliff passage, to be repeated again on the turning tide. The tide builds up in front of the gaps faster than it can flow through them and there can be a four-metre-high waterfall between the bays.
The falls were described by Sir David Attenborough as “one of the greatest natural wonders of the world”.
Travelling through them on special powerful speed boats provides one of the worlds natural adrenalin rushes. The gap between the two rock faces does not leave much for any errors but then these drivers have been doing it for a long time.
I liked the way the birch tree with the trail of fallen leaves seemed to mimic Douglas Falls and the water flowing downstream.
