What To Expect
Collected from your accommodation by your Triple J Tours coach, travel 70kms across Durack country to Lake Argyle in comfort, enjoying the vast East Kimberley landscape. Stretch your legs near Lake Argyle when we stop at the new site of the original Durack family homestead, rebuilt stone by stone and now housing the historic Argyle Downs Homestead Museum.
Lake Argyle
After a short drive to the Ord Top Dam, be amazed by the views of Lake Argyle and the view back towards Kununurra. Board our boat for a scenic cruise 55kms back to Kununurra. The first 15km is an exhilarating ride through the narrowest section of the fast-flowing water. Along the way, another layer of the outback unfolds, its waterways, another kind of spectacular scenery in an eco-environment thriving with birds and wildlife, including freshwater crocodiles.

5.00Picked up on time by Lee. He gave excellent commentary on our way to the Durack homestead and then to the Ord River for our cruise. Will was our boat driver and had extensive knowledge of the river, fauna and flora of the region. Most entertaining and the afternoon tea was very satisfying. Thanks to the girls who provided our scones, cakes and fruit. Great view of the sunset. Safely back, Lee waiting to return us to our accommodation. Thanks Lee for dropping us off to get our beverages and stopping to pick us up again! Wonderful day, highly recommend.
Must do tour!

5.00Our boat driver and guide, Trevor was very knowledgable, entertaining and a very skilled operator of the vessel. He was well prepared with a map of the Ord system to explain in detail where we were and what exactly we were seeing when they were pointed out. As well as learning about the irrigation sysrem, we were shown fresh water crocodiles and rock wallabies. The afternoon tea was delicious and sunset was spectacular as were the rock formations and sheer volume of water coming down after the huge but late wet season.
Don't miss this if you have a day in Kununurra, WA.

5.00First class tour, with the man himself I suspect. Knew every bird, plant and probably crocodile along the whole journey.
Wonderful

Informative, fun day out on the Ord

5.00Had the best day, Chris our driver gave a fun and informative narrative on way out to Lake Argyle. Chris then changed hats and became our skipper, again a very informative and engaging time with many stops as he spotted crocs, osprey, and other places of interest. A big shout out to Sue who cooked our scones for afternoon tea, and to Will the mechanic that ensured we had a very well maintained and reliable bus and boat
