The colours of the outback come alive at sunset as you glide down the Thomson River aboard the Longreach Explorer. After a warm welcome by our experienced crew, take your seat on the top deck ready to capture 360-degree sweeping, river and floodplain views. Our Captain will enthral you with captivating stories about the river, its wildlife and Indigenous heritage. Purchase an icy cold drink from our licensed bar to pair with complimentary savoury delights served on shared nibbles platters. Photo opportunities are endless, but our stop at Sunset Bend is the hands-down favourite. As the vibrant sunset colours fade into starlight, we dock at Smithy’s Outback Dinner & Show. Relax under the stars with table-service dining featuring camp-oven themed modern cuisine. Live on stage, our talented musical performers will entertain you with their songs and stories. Book early to experience this multi-award winning outback experience.

Enjoyed the cruise. Entertainment was good. Meal was not worth the cost with small serve of protein and poor quality of veg which was mostly carrots. Lovely staff.

Fantastic! Highly recommend. Great tour down the Thompson River with a sneaky glass of wine accompanied with a little pre dinner snack. Then a short stop to take picture moments of the beautiful sunset. Then on to Smithys for a beautiful dinner and entertainment by Corinne, shared with new friends made at our table. Fantastic, friendly staff. Was a great night, highly recommended!

The actual experience on the river cruise and Smithy’s dinner and show was excellent. Let down by the third party (Viator)
