Beautiful river trip - A most enjoyable experience. Grant and Tracey were wonderful hosts. Grant’s commentary was informative yet allowed us quiet times to take in the peace and beauty of the river. Numerous birds and kangaroos to be seen. Easy to get onto the boat, just a walk up a short ramp. Highly recommended.

An absolute must! - Thank you Grant and Tracey for a great time. Grant was very informative and amusing too! The scenery was amazing and it was lovely to see goats with their young ones and kangaroos on the water edge with their joeys. Lovely Tracey made us a good cup of coffee which was most welcome. The cruise was a great way to spend a relaxing morning. Plenty of photos taken of a memorable cruise. We thoroughly recommend you go on this cruise!
