Triple J Tours

The township of Kununurra would not exist today without the development of the hugely successful Ord River Irrigation Scheme. It has created a permanent ecological system along the Ord River and is now recognised as one of the most significant bird and wildlife sites in the East Kimberley. Triple J tours explore this system by boat and show visitors the entire expanse between Kununurra (Lake Kununurra) and the Ord River Dam (Lake Argyle).

The boat cruises also combine with coach tours that highlight Lake Argyle and the Dam Wall at the Lake Argyle Tourist Village. Choose to join the boat for an entire afternoon (five and a half hours) or mix it up with a 70 kilometre scenic coach tour that visits the historic Argyle Homestead (before joining the boat).

You will see spectacular gorges, a huge variety of birdlife, beautiful Kimberley flora and undoubtedly some of the most awesome scenery to be experienced in north west Western Australia, all from the seat of state of the art, comfortable and shaded vessels.

In addition you will receive one of the most informative commentaries on the Ord River Scheme and its resulting successes. Guides on board have been described as walking encyclopaedias and include the 2002 WA facet Golden Guide winner Jeff Hayley.

Triple J Tours has been recognised as one of the most professionally operated companies in the Kimberley and has designed experiences that enhance the natural environment of the area. Any of the five tours available will be a memorable experience and Triple J Tours guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
