Highlights
  • 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.

Fun Boat Ride with Lots of Crocs - What a fantastic tour. Mark was a great guide and boat driver. We would recommend this tour . We saw many crocs and Mark was full of local information. Hold onto your hats as it was also a bit of a fun, fast ride.

Just do it - no regrets. - This was absolutely the best cruise tour we've been on throughout our one month holiday in NT and WA (and there have been a few). Jeff - our boat captain and guide - was so knowledgeable and could spot crocodiles and birds at the drop of a hat. He made everyone feel welcome and answered all sorts of questions. My friend and I had completed the Ord River Dragon Boat Marathon the day before - so this cruise was perfect for us (as we saw what we missed) and Jeff even detoured slightly so we could take a photo of the place our boat "kissed a rock" as we went past a little too close. The afternoon tea provided was amazing! This cruise was 100% value for money and more. The location is stunning but Jeff did not rely solely on that, going out of his way to make sure we all had a wonderful time.

Fabulous tour with lots of views and interesting facts 🩷 - Jeff was an absolute gem. Showed us all the sights, gave us all the history and facts - and he had an eagle eye spotting crocodiles and rock wallabies. We were here for the Ord River Marathon Dragon Boat Paddle, and when we told Jeff he showed us all the spots we would be stopping at as we did the tour prior to the paddle. Afternoon tea and the beautiful sunset were excellent too - we recommended this tour onwards and a few of our Dragon Boat team did the tour as well and loved it. 👍👍

Cruising down the river on a Sunday afternoon. - What a fun day! Hazel, on the bus, had lots of great information. Mabo, on the boat, had even more, and was a lot of fun as we motored along the mighty Ord River. Lots of laughter was heard. Great food was provided. (And my footy team defeated his while we were cruising, to top off the day. 😀😀💙❤️💛) Would totally recommend this tour. Thank you, Triple J tours.
