Great half day on the river with the Ord River Discoverer Cruise with Sunset. The drive out was a good chance to see the country, a stop at the homestead was educational and interesting (complete with a bower bird!) a quick look at the dam from the top and then the best bit - the journey down the river, some parts slow, some parts fast! An absolute abundance and variety of wildlife. Our guide was really knowledgeable and the cold drinks were very welcome. The finish at sunset was timed perfectly. Can definitely recommend the half day on the water with this particular cruise.

This is an amazing and interesting cruise up the Ord River to Lake Argyle dam wall and back. We were lucky to have only a few on board, so space aplenty to move around and take photos. Saw lots of crocs up towards the dam wall, although they are elusive and quick to hide in the water. Birds and a bat colony too. Had beautiful scones at a rest stop, fed the catfish- a very novel trip. Highly recommended.

Wonderful luxury bus with Joey as captain, very informative. Exhilarating boat trip back up the Ord with Justin, he certainly knew how to ride those rapids. Lots of fun and photo opportunities and delicious afternoon tea with pumpkin scones and red papaw

Well run organisation and the bus trip to the lake was easy (picked up from hotel) and commentary was enjoyable. The cruise itself was awesome and also had good commentary and nice afternoon tea.

An interesting and fun tour with loads of info on local history and development of the Ord River dam as well as a local nature experience and a fun boat ride.. Afternoon tea was excellent too.

The Ord River has amazing scenery, and the tour guide has expert knowledge of the area. It was unexpected how beautiful this area is and equally enjoyed as much as the more famous Katherine Gorge.

Can highly recommend these tours - fabulous trip back by boat! Joey was awesome- loved hearing about the river and it’s fauna/flora, our lesson in catchment management was really interesting - plus his jokes!

Excellent Tour. Hazel was our busdriver. Ver knowledgeable and entertaining. We stopped at Durack homestead. Very interesting. Hazel even pointed out a rare Gouldian Finch at the bird bath. So exciting. Justin was our skipper also very knowledgeable and great skipper. Scenery was magnificent, only topped of by delicious pumpkin scones and local Juicy pawpaw. I can only recommend this tour. It was awesome. Thanks team

I have done the Triple J tour from the diversion dam to Lake Argyle or the reverse now three times. If I ever get back to Kununurra again I will do the trip again. If you are looking for fresh water crocs you will see plenty of them. For me the birds are of more interest, there are plenty of them, but if I didn't see a single bird the stunning beauty of the river and the rugged land would be enough. This is all seen from the shade of a comfortable boat. This is my favourite Australian tour. Joe Bainbridge
