Starting in the late morning, the cruise starts off gently, so keep an eye out for birds and crocodiles.

Excellent 🤩

Robyndawson, July 2023

From booking stage, to bus collection to the boat ramp. All very smooth. Skipper Lucas was professional and very knowledgeable. Thoroughly enjoyed his commentary on the Ord and history of area. The air con on the boat was 😜 wild. The afternoon tea was scrumptious and facilities clean. Wonderful sunset and ride back was surreal. Would highly recommend it to everyone. Very orderly tour.🤩

Magic on the Ord River

The cruise was amazing and very worthwhile. Mabo was a fantastic skipper and tour guide. We saw plenty of wildlife, the dam, had a lovely afternoon tea and returned home to some stunning reflections on the river and a magical sunset. Thank you!

Amazing

Jason was a brilliant tour guide and boat driver. Very knowledgeable about all things dam, Ord River and Kinunurra and surrounds. We learnt a lot of new things.

Amazing day.

Geoff was fantastic and has a wealth of knowledge. The bird and animal life is well worth seeing. The bush lunch and commentary were excellent. A one man band.

A must to understand the Ord.

Michael_H, Sept 2021

Knowledge of the river and wildlife. Also beautiful scenery. Excellent.. Tour guide was very good and did detours to show us aspects of the river and wildlife, with stops to observe the crocodiles.

GREAT
