What to expect
You'll board a purpose-built river cruiser and spend two and a half hours drifting downstream, taking in the Murchison's natural corridor. The skipper provides colour and context about the area's past, local ecology and why fishing mattered here. Expect gentle pace and plenty of quiet moments to absorb the landscape. The open deck offers shelter, and you're welcome to settle in with a hot beverage and watch the sandstone walls slide past. If you want something stronger, a small bar serves beer, wine, champagne and cider from 11am onwards.
Good to know
Bring extra snacks if you wish—the licence bar doesn't open until mid-morning. Prams and strollers are fine for young children. All decks and amenities are accessible, and service animals travel free. Runs April through November only.
