The Ord River Irrigation Scheme commenced with the completion of the Diversion Dam across the Ord River near Kununurra in 1963. In 1972 the main Ord River Dam, 55km upstream was completed, resulting in the formation of Lake Argyle. These two dams now have permanent water between them that has created a new and constantly evolving ecosystem. Triple J Tours now operate three boats on the Ord River. All skippers are experienced and share Jeff's love of the area. As well as magnificent scenery, prolific bird life and varying fauna, each tour is enhanced by an informative commentary. All tours offered incorporate the main, Ord River Dam cruise which is the longest daily river cruise in Australia, traveling 55km from Kununurra to the Ord Dam. It passes through a variety of different landscapes from the wide expanse of Lake Kununurra through the magnificent Carlton Gorge into the true Ord River. Triple J Tours operate one tour March to January, weather permitting. It is advisable to book your tours in advance during the low or wet season (November to March) to guarantee a departure. The temperature can be hot during these months but you can also be rewarded with magnificent waterfalls when it has been raining. Jeff and his staff take great pride in their tours and endeavor to offer the highest quality in all aspects of each tour. They hope you will be able to join them on one of their tours during your visit to Kununurra and look forward to meeting you.
