Operated by Silent Tours · Kununurra, Western Australia
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.

Silent Tours is a Kununurra-based tour operator specializing in small-group, customizable wilderness experiences around the Upper Ord River and surrounding landscapes. They offer a range of half-day, full-day and sunset options that let guests tailor each itinerary to their interests. Morning and Afternoon Custom Half Day Tours allow travellers to select their top three destinations and combine scenic 4X4 drives, guided bush walks and serene Ord River cruises for a concentrated local experience. The Full Day Custom Tour expands those options into a longer itinerary for deeper exploration. For river-focused experiences, Morning and Afternoon Ord River Explorer cruises use a silent boat designed for just four passengers, which provides personalized attention and quiet wildlife viewing. Morning departures emphasize the best light for bird photography while afternoon cruises highlight late-day wildlife activity. Optional additions include visits to rock art sites, hidden waterfalls, bird watching, swimming and focused photography stops. The Sunset Tour visits carefully chosen viewpoints for vibrant Kimberley colors, short walks and a chance to learn about local flora while enjoying bush tea or a preferred drink. Across all departures, Silent Tours emphasizes bespoke itineraries, flexible departure times where offered, and small-group settings to maximize scenery and wildlife encounters. The operator's clearly described offerings and limited-capacity river cruises make it straightforward for guests to choose the right experience for photography, wildlife viewing or a relaxed scenic outing.
