We did the jjj cruise today. Mark (aka Mabo) was our skipper. The explorer with sunset was fantastic. Mabo the skipper had extensive local knowledge on the area, river, birdlife and crocs and made the cruise informative and very enjoyable. He also has a good rapport with others on the river, and is obviously a local identity and a real character. We would recommend this cruise to anyone with an interest in the river or the east Kimberley. We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.

This was an outstanding tour and one not to miss in Kununurra. The scenery along the river is beautiful and we were able to see quite a lot of wildlife, but it was the excellent information provided by our boat captain that separated this tour from otherwise we have been on. We highly recommend doing this one.

What a day, what an experience. Mabo, our boat pilot and guide, was outstanding, as was Hazel, our bus driver to and from the boat. This is a must-do excursion.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Ord River experience. The scenery was spectacular, the boat was fantastic and our captain, Mabo, insured we were safe, entertained and provided us with an excellent overview of the area. Then to top it off we were given a delicious afternoon tea and finally treated to a perfect sunset on Lake Kununurra. Thankyou a perfect adventure.

Just went on the J4 cruise with sunset, and thought it was absolutely fantastic. Special thanks to Justin (Juzza) who was so professional, knowledgeable and articulate, he really went over and above to give us such a great cruise experience. Afternoon tea was really nice too, thoroughly recommend this tour.

My wife and I went on the 6 hour Ord River Tour 55km up to the dam wall and back with Joey as our skipper. What a fantastic day, from start to finish, everything was amazing. The boat is awesome, powered 2 x 350hp V8 Yamaha's, and it powers through the water. The scenery is to die for, as is the wildlife, crocodiles, birds, and more Skipper Joey is a strapping 6 feet tall if you believe him. Provided a wonderful and interesting commentary of the river, the Ord River Scheme, the Dam, and of the Wildlife and Flora. He shared some great dad jokes, too, one in particular regarding how tall he is. So very impressed with the whole day, fro. Bus drivers, the boat and Joey, and of course of the mighty Ord River and its inhabitants. Don't think twice, just do it, you will not be disappointed. Thanks Joey, fantastic day.
