Our Story

Ultimate Adventures was established June 1988 when the area was under quarantine for a nasty agricultural w**d, noogoorah burr. Greg has been fishing for wild barramundi on the Lower Ord River in the East Kimberley since 1979. Today safaris depart from Hairy Dog's Fishing Camp set up bush-style on the historic Bend of the Ord. The Ord River is a unique river system home to the famous sportfish, the wild barramundi, lots of birdlife, tropical wildlife and crocodiles. The Ord is a long meandering river which once was made up of a series of billabongs for most years and which relied on big Wet Seasons for a good flow. Nowadays, since the building of the Kununurra Diversion Dam 1962 and the Argyle Ord River Dam 1972, the river now has a continuous flow. Fresh water pushes down against the tide and the barramundi love to travel, so they have made the Ord River home from the Wyndham gulf all the way to the Diversion Dam gates. They co-habitat with other river species - Western Sooty Grunter, small tarpon, various catfish, Archer fish, Shark, on rare occasions, stingrays, mangrove jack, sawfish - a large population of saltwater and freshwater crocodiles, tropical wildlife and lots of birdlife. Fisher people enjoy getting hooked on the barramundi and nature-lovers enjoy the surrounds. Experienced guides will get you hooked! Bush bed and breakfast and unpowered camping grounds are available at Hairy Dog’s Fishing Camp. The best times to fish for barramundi are the hotter months - late March, April, May to early June and then again in late August, September, October. The best of East Kimberley weather can be enjoyed from May to early August.
