Lake Argyle Cruises

LAKE ARGYLE CRUISES is the original tour company on Lake Argyle. We offer a range of scenic cruises catering for individual travellers as well as tour groups. Our fleet of purpose built vessels offer comfortable seating and unobstructed views that leave many customers exclaiming words such as “amazing”, “breathtaking”, and “unbelievable”. Lake Argyle is Australia’s largest expanse of fresh water. It boasts over 26 species of native fish and supports a commercial fishery as well as the newly established Aquaculture industry. Latest research estimates up to 25,000 Johnstone River Fresh Water crocodiles inhabit Lake Argyle, Rock Wallabies thrive in rocky crevices close to the water’s edge, Eros (Wallaroos) on the islands have adapted to feed on the lakes aquatic plants. We specialise in observing wildlife, but due to the nature of wild animals it cannot be guaranteed you will see all that is described in this brochure. At Lake Argyle village above the Main Dam you will find motel style cabins, shop, bar, restaurant and a caravan park. Drop in and try the local catch, “Silver Cobbler” delivered fresh daily. Nearby is the Historical Durack Family Homestead Museum. The inland sea was created in 1971, by damming the mighty Ord River, forming a storage reservoir to supply one of the country’s largest and most ambitious irrigation schemes. What was once “Argyle Downs”, a million acre cattle station, is now an immense body of water amid a largely untamed and rugged wilderness in the remote East Kimberley region of Western Australia. Aptly named “Lake Argyle”, this majestic waterway can at times encompass and area of more than 2000 km2, a volume of water equivalent to 54 Sydney harbours. With its ever changing moods and landscapes it has developed into a unique eco-system, home to an amazing array of wildlife. There is no better was to capture all of this outstanding beauty than to take a cruise with Lake Argyle Cruises. We offer a selection of tours catering for the individual traveller as well as large tour groups. Specialised charters such as bird watching, bush walking and exploration can be arranged with prior notice.

Reviewed By studiopapa

We were lucky enough to have a fantastic and intimate tour through Mirima National Park with local legend Ted Carlton. We learned about the local flora and fauna, the history of the land, and saw a number of historical rock paintings up and close. Afterwards, Ted and his nephew Milton took us through the art centre to explore the history of the artefacts, taste some baobab fruit, damper and bush honey (incredible!). To top it all off, Ted played us some didgeridoo as we sat around the table. An incredible experience, I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Emma Gorge

Reviewed By loveindo - Broome, Australia

Access in to Emma Gorge is along a short track where this year 2 shallow stretches of water had to be crossed to reach the Resort parking area. Emma Gorge Resort is part of El Questro Wilderness Park & boasts lovely gardens , glamping tents & luxury accommodation as well as Emmas Restaurant & a pool. Casual dining, coffee & snacks available as well as souvenirs. Plenty of parking & nice clean public toilets. There is a reasonably easy start to the challenging Gorge walk where the creek is crossed in several places & some climbing is involved but as long as you tackle it with decent walking shoes & plenty of drinking water people of any age & reasonable fitness should manage. Turquoise pool is easy enough to reach & swimming is possible here. The rest of the walk to the waterfall is only a little bit further on. The towering cliffs surround this chilly waterhole that rarely sees much sunshine. After a fairly dry wet season the waterfall was still running, only a narrow stream, but running none the less. Lots of people were braving a swim in the cool pool but it is actually a nice spot to just sit for a while before heading back down to the resort. The return walk seemed a little less daunting somehow. But icy cool water provided on the verandah of the resort & lush green grass to loll on for a while saw us recovering quickly enough.

Mirima National Park

Reviewed By 810lf - Queensland, Australia

Beautiful little National Park, close to Kununurra. Interesting easy walks through Hidden Valley, amazing rock formations in a small area. Terribly dry after a failed wet season, but still beautiful.
