Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We spent an enjoyable day yesterday paddling down the Ord River with Go Wild adventures Eco-noeing. Macca was highly organised in collecting us in his bus from our accommodation in Kunnunurra and transporting us to the start point just below the Lake Argyle dam. After providing all the equipment we would need, giving us a thorough safety briefing and some handy tips on navigation, he sent us on our way. Going with the flow of the river meant the water did most of the work. There were a few sections of faster flowing water in the first hour but nothing difficult to handle. Four hours later, after lunch and a swim at the Sandy Beach, Macca picked us up in his boat this time for a cruise down the lower gorge where we were treated to a spectacular outback sunset. To top off the day, Macca took his boat almost to our doorstep before dropping us off. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys a peaceful paddle with wildlife spotting along the way.

Wow, what an adventure. If you want a genuine Kimberley experience you must do a tour with the most genuine team. Macca and his team are amazing. We did a one day canoe adventure from Lake Argyle down the Ord river, amazing scenery, wildlife (yes crocs but they were friendly), a water wonderland.
Whilst it classed as self guided tour , it’s more. Macca toured us to Lake Argyle before our paddle. Before our paddle we received great safety info, professional detailed info on the river/waterways, great tips for lunch spot and swims.
Then later in the arvo Macca makes his way up the river to pick you and your canoe up to enjoy a relaxing boat ride tour back to Kununurra with more amazing info on the area from Macca plus an amazing sunset on the water.
Only regret didn’t have enough time on our trip to do an overnighter paddle which Macca had amazing campsites to do this.

We just finished a four day canoeing trip from Lake Argyle to Kununurra and had the best time. Macca was really great, and provided excellent directions and instructions for the self guided trip. We saw so many freshwater crocodiles and birds, and loved doing it over four days so we had time to explore the creeks, lagoons and walks along the way. Highly recommend!

Highly recommended. Colin provided a great commentary on the drive to Lake Argyle and then detailed instructions and plenty of encouragement as we launched the canoe since this was our first real attempt at canoeing. The trip down the river was amazing, plenty of wildlife including crocs and a pair of dingos on the shore. After padding for 22k’s it was time for Macca to pick us up. The stop on the way back for a bush walk and swim was just what we needed after paddling all day. It was great that we could get picked up anywhere on the river so we could paddle as far or as little as we liked. It was a spur of the moment decision to book on this trip but it has been a highlight of our trip.

I chose to do the one-day canoeing trip and regretted not staying for longer! The scenery is breathtaking throughout and I would have liked to have gone on further. Maka's instructions were easy to follow, and the service was excellent :) I'd highly recommend signing up for this trip to anyone who likes a bit of adventure and a guaranteed great day out

After having lived in kununurra for a couple of years, we’d had this trip recommended to us by word of mouth as a ‘must do’ and I can see why. With paddle in hand it was a very enjoyable way to see the Ord and what it has on offer at a relaxing pace. We did the two day canoe trip with an overnight camp out and found that this was just right for us. We also took along a fishing rod and did a bit of trawling which turned out to be a bit of fun. Macca was brilliant also, very accommodating and makes sure the camps are well equipped and maps are easy to follow - all in all a well run and very enjoyable experience!

Macca met us at the Discovery Caravan park at Kunanurra to load up for the short drive to the base of the mighty Ord River Dam
We travelled up with another couple who were taking advantage of the full package of boat and equipment that is offered. Macca kindly customised the package as we had our own craft and equipment.
After a briefing at the take off point we departed on rippling water for a 20k paddle through the most amazing scenery we have seen in the Kimberly. Sculpted ravines, towering ramparts combined with green sub tropical vegetation made the time pass too quickly
A sandy beach for lunch and a swim , perfect
First camp located on a creek with its aown spring for water and a shower
Other facilities include bbq and tables for a complete experience.
Sleeping platforms are ideal for keeping above the local nocturnal wildlife
The second day is the main adventure day. With only 9k to travel, you can investigate all the creeks and inlets along the way for wildlife and hiking opportunities
Macca points out a couple of amazing side hikes where you leave your kayak and trek up to a secluded waterfall or pool. These are memorable opportunities and are unlike anything on the Gibb River Road
Another camp was again located on a perfect corner of the river, again with the same set up and facilities. We ended up paddling and hiking about 17k on the day
The night passes listening to splashing on the river and the usual critters scratching around
An early start for the next day and a leisurely 21k paddle back to Kunanurra
Lost to see as ravines and gorges gradually give way to farmland and eventually back to town
You can arrange pick up at several locations with Macca
You do not need to have great paddling skills for the trip as there is gentle flow from the dam wall for most of the journey.
If you have traveled the Gibb and been to El Questro you will appreciate the isolation of the trip as we rate the experience as the best overall activity you can do between Broome and Kunanurra

Spectacular, serene and majestic. A beautiful couple of days. We were very lucky to be just a group of two, we felt that we had this beautiful corner of the world to ourselves, including the campsite . Couldn’t believe the majesty, very impressed. Macca has everything organised, very approachable, no fuss, again we felt very well taken care of. Can’t recommend this experience with Go Wild highly enough.

Six of us went wild on the 3 night/4day Ord River paddle and were totally impressed by the whole set up. Carol, Macca & Col have everything covered. We definitely recommend taking super soakers. The River Bandits will be back.

WOW - a must do whilst visiting this spectacular area. This would have to have been a highlight of our 6 month trip. Macca (owner) made the trip by his organisation, knowledge of the area and being such a top bloke!!
If you like going back to basics, roughing it a little in a tent, enjoy stunning scenery and a wonderful unique experience then this is the trip for you.
We did one night which was perfect for us as we couldn’t have fit anymore beer or wine in 😜 we were also lucky enough to be the only ones on our trip.
Do yourself a favour and book the trip you sure won’t be disappointed

The trip isn't on Lake Argyle. It's the Ord River below the lake. It's wonderful.
