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. Bookings can be tailored for photography, wildlife observation, cultural interest, or relaxed sightseeing, with itineraries accommodating short walks and swim stops as needed.
