What a great tour this was. Struggling to remember our tour guides name but believe it was marv. He was excellent, funny, knowledgeable and knew every bend in that river. Lunch was excellent with plenty of crocs on show. The boat was big and powerful with an excellent turn of speed. Tour, including the Argylle homestead visit was nearly 6 hours, worth every penny, highly recommend.

Fun, informative, relaxing and the scenery was magical. Our guide was very knowledgeable, kept our interest and gave us a mix of cruising and jet boating.

Starring from near the swimming beach in Kununurra Captain Chris took us to the Diversion Dam then set off towards the Dam Wall at Lake Argyle. Captain Chris would stop along the way and explain about the area and he had a wealth of knowledge. He stopped at a designated place for lunch and he placed out the food prepared by Sue and we had a great variety to choose from. (Buffet) . We then set off for the Dam wall and the scenery and Fauna was magnificent.
Captain Chris knew how to handle the boat and the boat ride was really exilerating. Once we reached the dam wall we boarded a bus for Argyle house (Duracks) driven by Lee who had a wealth of knowledge as well. We then left for return to Kununurra. A six hour tour well worth it and a must to experience.

It was a very informative, relaxing day. Great sites and an extremely knowledgeable guide with a great sense of humour who showed great love and passion for his job. Definately worth doing. Remember to wear sunscreen and to reapply also if you have longish hair make sure you take a hair tie. Can get a bit blowy on the boat.

Worth every $. Excellent guide with a huge depth of knowledge and Chris was also passionate about the environment. From pick up to drop off at the end of the day everyone went seamlessly.

The upper part of the river between lunch and the dam wall was fantastic as the river was really flowing and the scenery, beautiful.
Before lunch too much time was wasted floating around with the talks too long.
Marg_B, Jun 2024
The captain, Joey was very entertaining and ever so knowledgeable. The scenery was fantastic and afternoon tea was delicious and so well organised. We both agree it was a 10 out of 10 day, and would definitely recommend this to everybody.

Dylan on Triple J tours was excellent. He was able to tell us all about the history of the Ord River Scheme plus the flora and fauna of the area we passed through. Setting up lunch for 35 people single-handedly was exception.. I couldn’t believe it.I would recommend this tour.
