Absolutely wonderful Australian Outback Experience - This was a wonderful celebration of the Aussie Outback. The sunset cruise was beautiful but it was surpassed by the dinner and entertainment in a beautiful setting. What a fantastic team of people. Don't miss this experience if you're in Longreach!

A great afternoon and evening of fun and relaxation. - Such a lot of fun. Afternoon tea was great on the boat and guides were informative and blended well with the group. Informative dialogue and helpful staff. The two Davids and Joyce looked after us well on the boat. Then back for the dinner and show. It was an elegant stop in the bush. Entertainment was fantastic and food was very tasty. We met lots of lovely similar minded people on this outing.

Outback River Cruise and Dinner under the Stars - What an amazing night of great food, wonderful entertainment and great company. We enjoyed this night on our last evening of the Longreach Winton tour with Bob and Sharon as our guides. They were outstanding to travel with. The hosts of the venue were welcoming providing great outback hospitality. Highly recommend this activity.

Cruise Dinner and Show - 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.
