Great Day in the mighty Ord. With afternoon tea.

Elaine_V, May 2026

This was an amazing day. The homestead visit was very interesting the guide there gave a brief overview of the museum, told us about the resident bower birds and was anything but boring. He showed us the bowerbird’s bower as an extra. The small gift shop has a wide range of things to buy at reasonable prices with all proceeds going to the maintaining of the museum. Our coach driver also gave us a number of interesting facts along the way. He was a very safe on the roads. The dam is just as worth seeing in a very different way. The boat cruise was not at all as I expected- so much more fun and interesting. Chris was excellent. Afternoon tea in a sheltered area near the only waterfall still dribbling at this time of year. Saw a range of wildlife including kingfishers, ‘freshies’ and white bellied eagles. Finally the sunset in the river. All in all a really great day. Thanks to everyone involved. Pick up time on this one was the time stated on the ticket. Check directly with the tour operator what time pick up is.

Chris, our bus and boat driver was so good in making the trip a great experience. The whole afternoon was setup with something always around the corner to see. The afternoon tea was delightful and in such a great relaxing location, sunset ended an afternoon of enjoyment.

Such a fascinating part of Australia.

Robyn_J, Sep 2024

An easy paced tour and beautiful place to visit, so much history, flora & fauna. The tour was so well run by very friendly, knowledgeable & efficient staff. The visit to the relocation farm house was fascinating & Joey’s commentary & wealth of both local & international knowledge was outstanding. Wonderful tour of the area.

Wonderful luxury bus with Joey as captain, very informative. Exhilarating boat trip back up the Ord with Justin, he certainly knew how to ride those rapids. Lots of fun and photo opportunities and delicious afternoon tea with pumpkin scones and red papaw

LeeAnne_C, Jul 2023

Fantastic 55km ride to lake argyle dam wall with hydro plant spurting out millions of litres into ord river. Great sightings of crocs birdlife and pirrhanna acting catfish waiting for a feed of crumbs. Joey was our skipper great knowledge and banter beautifully presented pawpaw pumpkin scones and banana muffins. Beautiful sunset. The best cruise 🚢

Great afternoon in the Kimberleys

Nanette_D, Jun 2023

Our boat captain was very informative but would have been better if he used a microphone. The cruise was great, the scenery was great and the afternoon tea by the riverbank was excellent. Well worth the money

Bill_B, Aug 2022

Fantastic trip from the moment we stepped on to the bus at the start of the day until we got off it at the end of the day. Boat skipper Jeff blended his spiel with humour, facts and figures, a splendid map and superb timeliness that matched his skill in boatmanship. It was a terrific tour and Jeff was a well oiled machine in delivering such a wonderful tour of “his office”

River adventure, unmissable!

GRF, Sep 2021

Great afternoon, we were collected from our accommodation to meet the boat at Lake Argyle where our skipper Lucas then took us for an amazing few hours down the Ord. Lucas gave an interesting & comprehensive commentary on the Ord scheme, history, wildlife, set out a lovely arvo tea, above all made us comfortable & was entertaining too! Pretty comprehensive really. Definitely recommend!
