About this tour
Glide silently through the Ord River's hidden waterways aboard a five-seater electric boat skippered by local Steve, who's spent seventeen years navigating these currents. This is the only quiet-engine eco-cruise operating here, letting you slip into lagoons and creeks unreachable by standard vessels. Choose your own adventure: bird photography, wildlife spotting, scenic exploring, or a riverside swim. Tours run 2–5 hours and flex to suit your pace and interests.
Highlights
- Silent electric motor reaches remote lagoons and creeks
- Maximum four passengers ensures intimate experience
- Canopy retracts for unobstructed 360-degree viewing
- Owner-operator guide with 17 years local knowledge
- Freshly made bush tea and morning/afternoon muffins included
What to expect
You'll board a compact 5.3-metre vessel with minimal noise pollution—a genuine advantage when spotting waterbirds and wildlife. Steve tailors each outing on the fly: linger for photography, cut the engine to drift and observe, or anchor for a swim if conditions allow. The boat's retractable canopy means you're never stuck behind frame or fabric. Bring binoculars (provided, but bring yours if preferred) and expect genuine flexibility. If you spot something curious mid-river, you stop and investigate rather than follow a fixed schedule.
Good to know
No onboard toilet—plan accordingly. Infants must sit on an adult's lap. Basic balance needed to board safely. Service animals welcome. Suitable for all fitness levels, but you'll need modest agility stepping in and out.
