Several people are injured after a boating accident at the Kimberley tourist attraction Horizontal Falls.

Police and emergency services are at the remote scene north-east of Broome after up to 25 people were on the boat when it capsized in the remote waterway around 8.30am on Friday.

The Royal Flying Doctor Service is attending and a WA Country Health Service spokeswoman said hospitals in the region were on standby to receive patients from the scene, with Broome Health Campus activating an emergency alert in anticipation. A WA Police spokeswoman said several people on board were believed to be injured.

Derby/West Kimberley Shire president Geoff Haerewa told Millsy at Midday host Steve Mills the boat hit the rocks and capsized.

"Thankfully there are no fatalities ... I'll leave the name of the tour operator out of it for now."
