The cruise was amazing. I went with my husband and two children, 16 & 14. I was worried they would get bored but they had an incredible time. The commentary was just enough, not overbearing like some can be, but informative and gave you time to just enjoy nature. The food was delicious and there was an abundance of it. The pelican feeding was a highlight and we even got to see some dolphins. We had such a lovely time as a family and it truely was a highlight of our trip.
Chilling on the river .

We were blessed with a stunning day to enjoy the wonderful scenery in such a unique and picturesque part of the world. Informative commentary along the way, particularly about the history of the area. The pelicans certainly enjoyed the free feed and it was a pleasure to witness their interaction with each other. Sea eagles circling above was a bonus. Plenty of tasty food for lunch including prawns - all up a very good day.
Great Day !
