Scenic cruises - Murray

The Murray River, once a busy inland trade route, is today a perfect choice for a relaxing cruise.

In its heyday, many towns along the Murray were bustling ports. Today, some of these towns operate paddlesteamer fleets with people as their cargo. A variety of cruise options are on offer, from short one hour cruises to overnight cruising adventures giving a real taste of life aboard a paddlesteamer. Lunch and dinner cruises are also available, and some paddlesteamers can be chartered for functions.

Join us for an organised and guided tour of the spectacular Murray River with a choice of trips ranging from 1½ to 5 hours between Hume Weir and Noreuil Park in the Albury / Wodonga region. Alternatively, hire a canoe or kayak and explore the Murray River at your own pace.
