- 4 Coolibah Dr - 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!\n\nBe 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nNearing Kununurra, appreciate the immense beauty of a Kimberley sunset whilst still out on the water.\n\nYou will be returned to your pick up point at the conclusion of the tour.

What an experience! - WONDERFUL experience.
Has been on our bucket list for quite a while. Mabo was brilliant great knowledge was first class and informative and his light hearted banter made everyone feel relaxed and really enjoy their cruise.
River and scenery was amazing and did manage to see a couple of crocodiles laying in the sun, also sea eagle nest with dad watching over.
River was so changeable in current depth and the different plants and trees growing on the sides.
We would definitely recommend this cruise.

Ord River Highlight! - This afternoon was amazing! It started with our bus trip to Lake Argyle and Hazel our driver was amazing. She had so much knowledge of the area and it was fascinating to listen to her. We then jumped on the boat with Mabo as our captain and he made the whole afternoon! He was knowledgeable, drove the boat with skill and precision and stopped and explained the bird life, the fishing holes, the crocodiles and more. This was an amazing afternoon and we highly recommend it to everyone!

Best tour in the East Kimberley - Excellent river cruise 55km up and 55km back on the Ord river to Lake Argyle dam wall from Kununurra. Fantastic scenery and commentary along the way. We saw lots of freshwater crocodile's and Birdlife. Stopped at a lovely spot by the river on the way back for a nice afternoon tea. Then finally a beautiful sunset on the river before docking and being taken back to our accommodation

Take the similar tour to include Durack Homestead instead. - First half quite boring, basically just a fast boat trip to collect majority of guests at main dam at 2pm. Thereafter too many on boat, difficult to take photos with the same people hogging the vantage spots. Saw nothing of Lake Argyle except north wall of dam. Guide Robo however was entertaining & knowledgeable. For the money our group thought it was expensive, especially as nothing to eat until after 4pm.
