Full Day Custom Tour

Discover Kununurra’s spectacular outdoors with Silent Tours’ Full Day Custom Tour. Mix 4x4 rides, bushwalks, and Ord River cruises in a tailor-made experience designed around your interests.

Kununurra, in the remote Kimberley region of Western Australia, is a rugged outback gateway surrounded by striking landscapes—vast red-rock ranges, lush river valleys, and shimmering billabongs. Silent Tours offers an immersive Full Day Custom Tour here that’s anything but cookie-cutter. With up to 10 hours to tailor your adventure, this experience is built around your interests, combining local highlights like 4x4 off-road drives, guided bush walks, and scenic cruises along the Ord River.

The Ord River carves its way through this arid wilderness, dotted with seasonal waterfalls, dense riparian forest, and abundant birdlife. Imagine drifting silently on a comfortable and fuel-efficient bow rider, binoculars in hand, spotting wedge-tailed eagles slicing the sky or elusive rock wallabies perched on Carlton Gorge’s rocky ledges. On land, your guide can lead you along rugged tracks in Hidden Valley National Park or the famed Dragons Back walk, revealing ancient petroglyphs and unique flora like boab trees and cycad palms.

Silent Tours’ flexible approach means you can prioritize your must-see spots—whether that’s a wildlife photography session, a peaceful river cruise, or exploring remote 4x4 tracks such as Valentine Springs or Butterfly Cave. For those who crave a cultural edge, the tour can include visits to rock art sites and local wetlands rich in bird species. This company fills a vital niche in Kununurra’s outdoor adventure scene by offering a bespoke alternative to rote sightseeing.

Their knowledge of the land and wildlife, matched with a patient pace that lets you soak in every detail, makes any chosen itinerary feel deeply personal and authentic. For visitors seeking to experience the Kimberley’s wild heart on their own terms, Silent Tours delivers both freedom and expertise in equal measure.
