The experience

The MV Jabiru picks you up from your Kununurra accommodation at 3:15 PM and carries you across Lake Kununurra as the afternoon light softens. You glide through Lily Creek's calm waters, past the Sleeping Buddha rock formation and out toward the Diversion Dam, where the sun drops behind the Kimberley landscape. The boat has a restroom on board and moves at a pace that leaves room for photographs and conversation.

Dinner arrives in courses: appetizers first, then your choice of wild-caught Barramundi, Threadfin Salmon, or steak, with dessert to follow. Drinks (beer, wine, spirits and soft drinks) flow throughout the evening. Coffee and tea come at the end. The meal is timed so you eat as the light changes, and the boat returns you to your hotel by 6:15 PM.

A live English-speaking guide is aboard. The cruise suits families, with children's menu options and the ability to bring infants in a pram or stroller. Service animals are welcome. The boat is wheelchair accessible.
