In August I had the most amazing time on one of Steve's (Silent Tours) dawn Ord River Wildlife cruises. Fantastic experience. Steve's knowledge of all things to do with the river and its birds and animals was very much appreciated. He was so patient and helpful with my dad who has mobility issues, and with me with all my bird questions. His boat is so quiet we could sneak up on many birds that are usually hard to photograph, and he knew all the best bird and rock wallaby hiding places 🙂 Billy tea and muffins were a great highlight and we enjoyed our time so much we booked Steve for one of his 4 x 4 trips the following week. 5 stars for professionalism, knowledge, safety and locating birds and animals. We will be back for sure next time we are in the area, can't recommend him enough.
A peaceful river cruise surrounded by the nature and beauty of the east Kimberly.

Our trip up the Ord River was a peaceful, uplifting experience. Steve was a knowledgeable guide and was able to identify numerous birds, spot black tailed wallabies resting in a cave on a cliff face and point out various geological structures. We were able to venture up beautiful creeks inaccessible to larger boats. We would thoroughly recommend Silent Tours for visitors seeking to commune with nature and witness the magnificent colours of the Kimberly.
