On a Silent Boat Tour we slowly traverse the Ord River from Kununurra in a modern comfortable bow-rider. We cruise up river into Emu creek lagoon where birds and wildlife can be seen. The whisper quiet outboard allows us to approach wildlife stealthily to take photos of the many bird species in the creeks and lagoons. We will often turn off the motor so you can enjoy the sounds of nature.
Although the boat can seat 6 passengers, we limit this number to just 4 so there are less distractions. We give you more time to see what you want to see + more time on the river.
Enjoy a cup of bush tea or a beverage of your choice to place in the chiller, while enjoying stunning scenery that is uniquely the Kimberley.
Minimum 2 passengers
Departs as early as 5am in the morning or as late as 1pm in the afternoon
Being a small group operator we are most likely able to meet your specific needs and requirements. Our boat can take you just about anywhere up the Ord River.
Want to capture those mirror like images or hear the dawn chorus of our native bird life? We can leave Kununurra as early as the sparrows for a unique dawn experience
Would you like to spend time bird watching, taking drone or photography images? No problem - we tailor each cruise to your wishes.
We sometimes see some remarkable wildlife including the Wedge-tailed Eagle, Pacific Baza, Azure King fisher, and the odd croc or two
We can get closer for those magic moments. If you see something, we can stop for a better look. We are flexible with our tour itinerary
No single boat tour is the same. As the season changes so does the activities and wildlife on the ord river .
Please reach us at relax@silenttours.com.au if you cannot find an answer to your question.
In some ways yes, but in many more ways no. We can cruise in the same areas and see the same things as others but that's where it ends. We do not compete with other tours as we provide bespoke river experiences often for two passengers only. You get to explore places that others do not and spend more time doing exactly what you want - no set tour schedule.
We run a 5.3m Quintrex bowrider - big enough to be comfortable and safe, small enough to get into the lagoons, creeks and drive in waterfalls. A new eco-efficient Yamaha 4 stroke 130HP motor powers the boat. It is whisper quiet yet powerful if the extra ponies are needed.
A hat, sunglasses, sand shoes or sports sandals, day bag, towel if you wish to swim and your preferred beverage to place in the esky.
We provide binoculars, sunscreen, insect repellent, a light snack served with bush tea and tuning of the senses if you wish to spot wildlife and get the most out of your experience.
No, not for the boat cruises. However you do need to be able to step onto the boat from the jetty. We will help you get in and out. If you would like to explore waterways by foot up river, the more agility and fitness you have the easier your exploration will be.
