Ord River Eco Boat Cruise (minimum 2 passengers)
Best for: Travelers who want a personalized nature outing with a very small group
This cruise is built around a quiet, personalized river outing rather than a fixed sightseeing program. The small boat carries only a few passengers, which allows the guide to adapt the pace and route to birdwatching, photography, scenery, or other interests. The published notes show flexibility for different lengths of time, and pickup is included on the listed option. It also includes binoculars, blueberry muffins, and a choice of bush tea or a cold beverage. There is no restroom on board, so travelers who prefer a simple, close-to-nature cruise should plan accordingly.

Lake Kununurra Sunset Dinner Cruise
Best for: Travelers who want a relaxed cruise with dinner and drinks included
This cruise is the most structured evening option, with a clear focus on dining and sunset views rather than a flexible wildlife itinerary. The published details confirm collection from accommodation, a cruise aboard the MV Jabiru, and return afterward. Included items cover dinner, drinks, coffee or tea, soda, and restroom access on board. The route notes mention Lily Creek, Lake Kununurra, and a cruise toward the Diversion Dam as the sun sets. It is a good fit for travelers who want a calm end-of-day outing that does not require planning a separate meal.
Lake Kununurra Sunset Dinner Cruise
- Dinner, drinks, and refreshments are included
- Pickup and return are part of the listed experience
- Has restroom on board

Ord River Explorer Cruise with Sunset
Best for: Travelers who want the most time on the water and a broader river route
This cruise is the most time-intensive option and suits travelers who want a broader river journey rather than a short outing. The product notes describe a long round trip on the Ord River with fast-boat cruising, gorge country, wildlife viewing, and an East Kimberley sunset at the end of the day. The itinerary also states that guests are taken by coach to the marina before boarding. A riverbank snack is included, while lunch is not, and the notes explicitly say to eat before departure. There is also an exclusion for the Argyle Downs Homestead Museum, so it should not be assumed to be part of the cruise.
Ord River Explorer Cruise with Sunset
- Longest duration of the three
- Covers a 110 km round trip route
- Includes a coach transfer to the marina
Choosing an itinerary style in Kununurra
For a shorter, adaptable outing, the eco boat cruise keeps the focus on quiet viewing and a small group.
