The stunning Ord - A great boat tour on Lake Kununurra and the Ord River, through areas otherwise inaccessible. We chose to do the boat ride in both directions to see the river at different times of day. Welcoming and friendly staff from start to finish made for a great atmosphere. Views of spectacular formations, lots of birds and other wildlife. A lovely afternoon tea stop with delicious home made food (make sure you have some early lunch before the tour as the afternoon tea is later in the afternoon). Commentary was just enough, and our more detailed questions were responded to knowledgeably. The day completed with a sunset over the water and watching the bats fly out for a drink at last light.

Wonderful river cruise experience - Our guide Morbo was very friendly, informative and funny. Great afternoon tea, very organised. Scenery was beautiful. Even saw a few fresh water crocs on rocks.. Sea eagles on nests and other bird life. The sunset was the icing on the cake.

Fantastic cross with Mabo - We had an amazing experience and it was all due Mabo (Mark). Wow what a great ambassador for Triple J Cruisers. He had to take a lot of good-humoured teasing from me the whole trip, which he did admirably. He made the cruise such fun. Please make sure Mabo sees this review because I want him to know how much we appreciated him. Thanks Mabo. Cheers Kim and Tony

Do yourself a favour and take this tour. - Thank you for a very enjoyable and informative tour. Both my wife and I really enjoyed every aspect of it. The Ord River is very special and I am very grateful to have had the experience. Our diver, Marco was wonderful and helped make the tour that bit more enjoyable. It is a must thing to do while in this special place.

A wonderful way to see Ord River - What can I say. Early in the season so 4 passengers and 4 skippers ( 3 familiarising) so talk about being looked after. We were taken on every deviation possible - not so much wild life *seasonal but we saw all the geological features. Great afternoon tea too.

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.

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.
