AI summary of 44 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the knowledgeable and engaging skippers, who demonstrate extensive expertise about Lake Argyle's history, wildlife and geography, making the educational aspects of the cruise engaging rather than tedious. The most frequently highlighted element is the sunset swim with complimentary drinks and floating platters of snacks, which guests describe as a memorable and relaxing culmination to the experience. The boat's comfort, wildlife encounters (including rock wallabies, freshwater crocodiles, archer fish and birds), small group sizes and attentive crew support, along with the flexibility of staff to accommodate personal needs such as minding dogs, are also consistently appreciated. The only notable caveat mentioned is that during the off-season or cooler months, the water temperature may be too cold for some guests to swim, though this does not significantly detract from the overall experience.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
The sunset cruise was amazing, with beers as the sun went down, a great guide, and fish and crocs to see. I'd recommend it as an Aussie.
A must if you're at Lake Argyle. Floating in the middle of the lake with a noodle and a cold beer while the sun went down was unforgettable.
Our sunset cruise was lovely, with breathtaking views and a comfortable boat. Lucas was a delightful guide who clearly loves the area and knows heaps about the dam's history and the local plants and animals.
After seven months on the road, the sunset cruise was the most spectacular thing we've seen. Amy at reception minded our dog at no extra charge, and the bus driver and our skipper Lucas made it a great trip for everyone.
My husband and I loved the relaxing sunset cruise. Skipper Greg is a knowledgeable character who kept us out of the heat, and we saw wallabies, birds, freshies and archer fish, then swam with drinks and a floating platter of biscuits and dip.
We did the 2.15pm sunset cruise with Lucas and saw loads of wildlife, swam at sunset and learnt heaps about the lake without ever feeling rushed. A must in the Kimberley.
