We had a lovely day starting with Lee on the bus and visiting Durack homestead. We were then passed on to Chris on the boat and enjoyed seeing all the crocs and birds. Both Chris and Lee were very knowledgeable. Chris found lots of wildlife and interesting things for us to look at. The afternoon tea by Sue was very yummy and they made such an effort for my mum who is lactose intolerant. Well worth the money. Would definitely recommend.
Great experience. A must when in Kununurra

What a fantastic cruise with Mabo as the host. What a bonus he is with his knowledge and sense of humor. The whole journey to the dam wall and back was thoroughly worth the money. Even the afternoon tea provided catered for people with dietary requirements. Don’t delay, you’ll enjoy it.
Great tour of the Ord River.

Our tour guide was Marbo, he was very informative and had a great personality. The tour was excellent, the Ord River is beautiful. Marbo handled the boat and manoeuvred around low and fast incoming water. A tour you should do.

our driver’s name was Marbo, he engaged the whole boat. He continually stopped on the beautiful Ord River and gave us an explanation of our surroundings, he. Was witty, funny and full of information especially about the dam and the river. He even had a map. Afternoon tea was delicious in a little bush surrounds. Absolutely loved our afternoon and would strongly recommend this to any age group.
