Relaxing & Informative Cruise - Enjoyable & relaxing cruise, although we had a very cold morning and had to rug up! Grant & Tracy were lovely hosts! Grant gave us informative commentaries and Tracy served us all hot drinks and biscuits! We learnt a lot about Kalbarri and the general area from this cruise!

Murchison River Cruise - It is very pleasant and very knowledgeable . Grant and Tracey have a hospitable manner and present many interesting facts in a delightful commentary. Refreshments are available as part of the cruise. Despite the apprehension of an uncomfortable trip due to a strong breeze it was well handled.

Start with this cruise - Short of having your own boat - though this river needs some local knowledge to navigate the shallows- this cruise was was the next best thing. Toss in Grants years of working on boats in the region and his extremely informative commentary, it’s perhaps better than your own boat. We were given history of the area , the fishing industry past & present, the farming of free range goats & entertaining stories . Grant also alters his tour to suit the days guests. We jumped on this cruise at literally the last minute. It will be long remember & us got us off to a great start of what to do next . Thx Grant for the insight into local fish n chips

Thoroughly enjoyable trip - We had a great trip. Grant and Tracy were really knowledgeable and interesting. Grants commentary was also very funny as well as informative. We saw lots of birds including Emus, as well as kangaroos and a fox on the shore. Well worth the cost of the ticket, which included a hot drink and biscuits. Perfect.
