Don't leave Kununanurra, without spoiling yourself with this extra special trip - Enjoyed this amazing and comprehensive tour today. Everything happened as planned with pick up, 6 hor trip and drop off all on time without even realising. This is one fabulous trip which needs more publicity. The 55k trip up the Ord River includes wide open spaces, spectacular color-changing hi cliffs, exciting almost rapids in this wonderful purpose built boat, Osprey, masterly driven by our wonderful guide and driver, Chris. His commentary was detailed and enjoyably presented, his passion for the river, it's history, and the abundant bird life was obvious. We wanted for nothing else. Cool drinks were on the house and welcome, and the muffins, scones and coffee a welcome avo break. To top it off, a perfect sunset. How good is this trip. Thank you jjj

Amazing Ecological Cruise - Picked up from hotel in large air conditioned coach. Then to old Durack homestead, now a museum. Down to Lake Argyle with sightseeing commentary on the way. Finally boarding our, at times, very fast boat back to Kunanurra, stopping in plenty of stops to allow photographs of the fresh water crocodiles sunning themselves on the rocks plus many birds and other wildlife including rock wallabies. Add a pumpkin scone and a cuppa along the way with a gorgeous sunset and you have the perfect trip.
