'ECO-NOEING' - Eco-tours in canoes
Eco-noeing is the original canoe trip on the beautiful Ord River, established in 1991 and formerly called Kimberley Canoeing Experience. Since then it has built a great reputation as a scenic and rewarding self-guided adventure, and a fantastic opportunity to experience this unique environment firsthand.

Originally only offering a 3 day tour we have grown with our 12 seat 'rescue' boat 'Crocodilly', to also offer one and two day trips, all of which were recognised as official eco-tours in 2003. So choose from the tours below knowing you will be enjoying a fabulous outdoor activity and ensuring it will remain as pristine and spectacular for the future.

'SUNRISE-SUNSET' - One day tour - $150pp (2007)
A magical day on the upper Ord River begins with a 75km drive from Kununurra to Lake Argyle. After a short stop to view this huge man-made lake you are off on the gently flowing Ord for 23kms, cutting through the magnificent Carr-Boyd range in a 2 person Canadian canoe. We supply an esky to keep your lunch and drinks cool and a watertight barrel for your camera. During the day you can paddle, swim or photograph as much as you like, then after 2.00pm our boat will pick you wherever you are on the river - maybe you'll make it to camp!

After pick-up your guide will take you bushwalking to explore secluded hideaways and swim in crystal clear waterholes, and on the 32km boat journey back to Kununurra you'll see Kimberley creatures in their natural habitat, plus an unforgettable sunset.

'PADDLE IN PARADISE' - Two day tour - $180pp (2007)
This trip offers all the attractions of the 'Sunrise-Sunset' tour plus an overnight stop at the environmentally designed Cooliman Camp, which features BBQ facilities (with firewood supplied) plus gas burners, water and shower facilities fed by a natural spring, eco-toilet and above ground sleeping platforms. We also supply swags, mosquito domes, cooking and eating utensils and another larger barrel for you to pack your clothes, food, drinks and any other items that you bring along.

Your second day is spent exploring, with the help of the map supplied, indicating where to find waterfalls, swimming holes, bird-life and sandy beaches - the day is yours to take in the majestic scenery of the Ord and all it has to offer. At 4.30pm our boat will pick you up around Stonewall Camp for your scenic journey back to Kununurra.



'ALL THE WAY' - Three day tour - $165pp (2007)
This adventure begins as a 'Paddle In Paradise', but includes another overnight camp beside Stonewall Creek, where you can enjoy the same facilities as Cooliman Camp. Once again you can explore at your leisure on the final day's paddle, finding more scenic creeks and lookouts plus Aboriginal art and the Zebra Rock Gallery. When you return to Kununurra through beautiful Lily Creek Lagoon, featuring an amazing array of birdlife, we'll pick you up and return you to your accommodation in Kununurra.
3 Day Plus - $200pp (2007)
All the way plus a boat pickup on the last day from the second camp.

'ARVO PICKUP' - Half day boat cruise - $60pp
Come with us at 1.00pm and cruise up the Ord River to pick-up any canoeists on their journey downstream, after which we'll stop for a bushwalk to a waterfall and swimming hole as per the 'Sunrise-Sunset' tour, and journey back to Kununurra arriving at dusk. Refreshments are provided but this tour's availability is dependent on canoeists.

'LAYOVER' - Optional Day - $25pp
Stay over an extra day and night at either Cooliman or Stonewall Camps, giving you extra time to do some bigger bushwalks to secluded waterfalls or explore further up several creeks, or just pass the time in a nearby tranquil waterhole.
 
'ABSEILING & CLIMBING' - Optional Day - $150pp (2007)
You'll be picked up at 9.00am from either camp for a day of adrenalin based activities, including abseiling, top-rope climbing or a huge 120m flying fox across the river at Carlton Gorge (a minimum of 4 people is needed for the flying fox). We'll return to Cooliman Camp for lunch (BYO) and finish at 4.00pm, after which you'll be dropped off to enjoy another night camping in the Wild. This trip is only available in conjunction with the two and three day tours.
