What To Expect

If you have been fortunate enough to visit Lake Argyle already, or you are an avid photographer chasing incredible scenery in changing light, take a cruise up and down the river on Australia's Longest Daily River Cruise - the Ord River Explorer! Be taken by coach at 11.30am to the Marina and one of Triple J's modern vessels. Then it's out into the East Kimberley wilderness, 55kms gliding over an iconic outback waterway, scanning the landscape for birds and wildlife, maybe a freshwater crocodile sunning itself on a rock. The last 15km of the cruise is an exhilarating one with fast-flowing water and narrow paths before arriving at the Ord Top Dam (& you get to experience this twice!). Gaze in awe at the man-made spectacle that made this thriving ecosystem possible, before turning and heading back downstream to a riverside camp for afternoon tea. Nearing Kununurra, appreciate the immense beauty of a Kimberley sunset whilst still out on the water. You will be returned to your pick up point at the conclusion of the tour.

    From booking stage, to bus collection to the boat ramp. All very smooth. Skipper Lucas was professional and very knowledgeable. Thoroughly enjoyed his commentary on the Ord and history of area. The air con on the boat was 😜 wild. The afternoon tea was scrumptious and facilities clean. Wonderful sunset and ride back was surreal. Would highly recommend it to everyone. Very orderly tour.🤩

    The cruise was amazing and very worthwhile. Mabo was a fantastic skipper and tour guide. We saw plenty of wildlife, the dam, had a lovely afternoon tea and returned home to some stunning reflections on the river and a magical sunset. Thank you!
