Ord River Discoverer with sunset - Wow what an amazing tour. Tony picked us up and was a great tour guide on the 79kms to the dam wall. Nice stop at Lake Argyle Homestead museum then on the dam wall. Joey was our boat captain and tour guide the 55kms on Lake Kununurra. Fantastic information. Scenery to die for. Well done Triplejtours we loved the trip, highly recommend 👌

Wonderful afternoon on the Ord. - We did the 55km boat trip from the dam wall back to Kununurra as part of a larger Outback Spirit Kimberley tour. A beautiful afternoon in the expert hands of Mabo. He expertly guided us through the geology, history, plant and animal life along the Ord. His knowledge and experience made for a highly entertaining journey. Lovely afternoon tea, crocodile, sea eagle spotting and sunset. A really top experience.

Best way to see the Ord - The trip up and down the Ord with Mabo was exceptional The landscape constantly changed and being on the water made us feel a part of rather than driving by. Mayo was a very competent skipper and his comentry was numerous and informative. We ended on a highlight a white bellied sea eagle catching a turtle and feeding its young in their nest and then the sun set on one side of the boat and a full moon rose on the other.

Fantastic. I want to go again - This trip exceeded my expectations. It was fantastic. Our guide was MABO. He was a genuine bloke and gave us lots of informative information. A great way to see the river. Nice to see the wildlife along the way also, crocs, eagles, rock wallabies, water monitors and random other surprises along the way. The museum visit was a little short at 20 minutes but overall it was amazing.
