Wet Season Itinerary - depends upon seasonal conditions and tour operator's discretion - generally December to April:

Using top quality equipment and qualified, accredited guides, this trip covers up to 55 kilometres of river and approximately 1200 kilometres of road. Fed by Lake Argyle and the Argyle Dam all year, the river winds through rocky escarpment that will show its true colours on sunset. Wildlife encounters, comfortable 'swag style' camping, great dining, fantastic service, - it all adds up to being a unique experience. A trip you may never forget.

1 -L,D, Accommodated - You will be met at your Katherine accommodation at 7:00 am (0700). From here you will journey along the Stuart Highway to Katherine and then turn onto the Victoria Highway to Western Australia to view the mighty Victoria River which originates on Riveren Station and travels approximately 720 kilometres through a mixture of grassy plains, rolling savannas, rocky spinifex country, mesas and plateau before draining into the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf and ultimately the Timor Sea to the north. Most of the catchment lies less than 450 metres above sea level. After another short drive, you will be able to stretch your legs at Gregory's Tree which is located 15km northwest of Timber Creek. This large boab tree stands at the campsite of the early explorer Augustus Charles Gregory's North Australian Expedition which was undertaken between October 1855 and July 1856. Inscribed in the tree by Gregory are the expedition dates. The tree also has special significance to the local Ngaringman Aboriginal people and is registered as a sacred site. After a short trip into Kununurra to grab some fresh supplies (no fruit & veg can be taken over the WA border), we travel back to the Lake Argyle Tourist Village. Here we will unpack and prepare for our canoeing adventure on the Ord River. Overlooking the spectacular Lake Argyle, you will be able to relax and watch the sun go down, shedding its light on the stunning red escarpment of the Carr Boyd Ranges whilst enjoying some nibbles and your favourite glass of wine.

Day 2 - B,L,D, Camping - After a hearty cooked breakfast it is time to gather up all belongings and head to the base of the Argyle Dam. Here you will be fitted with Personal Flotation Devices (PFD) a requirement, to be worn whilst on the river. A safety brief and paddling instructions for kayaking and canoeing will be given before entering the water. At a relaxing rate, there will be stops along the river for a morning break, lunch and time to view the diverse river environment, bird and wildlife. This is probably the narrowest section of the river that you will paddle on. The escarpment is high, the water is still flowing from the dam and the trees provide a nice amount of shade. A fairly easy start to 3 days on the river. Approximately 4 pm (1600) you will step ashore for an overnight camping experience. There will be time to relax; fish or read all whilst your guide prepares the evening meal. After a fulfilling meal, enjoyed with your favourite bottle of wine or spirit, retire into your tent in a bed-roll under the live Tropical stormy sky or clearing to reveal blanket of stars.

Day 3 - B,L,D Accommodated - After a hearty cooked breakfast, we pack-up camp and continue paddling down-stream. Carlton Gorge will be a highlight of the day as you paddle through seeing small rock wallabies watching you from ledges high above. We will be met on the river, just before it widens through the 'agricultural belt' by a cruise boat, which will allow time to sit back while we glide along and have the local experts interpret some more of the regions wonderful natural and colourful pioneering history. Late in the afternoon we will enjoy dinner, before heading back along the Victoria Highway to our accommodated stay at the Victoria River Roadhouse

Day 4- An early morning start so we will arrive back in Katherine.
