The staff on board were wonderful. The gentleman doing the commentary was very informative and interesting.
It wasn’t rushed.
Lovely views of the area and the dolphins.
Would definitely recommend.
We’ve ordered lunch beforehand and can only recommend eating it out of the wind in the bottom of the boat on your way back. (The seafood roll was so good)!
Tip: tighten hats and sunglasses with straps because it’s really windy up on the deck. I suggest to keep backpacks and bags on or drop them off inside the boat. Long hair will go all over the place so worth tying back too😉
The staff on board both trips were all amazing it was so informative and I will keep recommending it to everyone
The office was more than accomadating when I had to defer on 2 different occasions and the company was a pleasure to deal with all round!
Well done to all employees in all areas .we'll be back! 👏 👏 👏

Daz and his crew did an excellent job, and we saw a few dolphins during the cruise.
Managed to catch around 4-5 dolphins n my kiddos had fun.
Great experience and it was a sight to behold as we cruise around.
Slow pace and trying to hunt for dolphins around the area.
Saw heaps of wildlife. Excellent lunch as well. Interesting tour of the canal developments was very welcome.
Well done to all concerned.
Only thing is, from their website I thought there would be a lot of dolphins chasing the cruise; and the cruise will go a bit further to outside sea instead of only stay inside the canal.
But overall still a good experience for us. Thanks!

Thank you for providing such an amazing experience for us.
Couldn't ask for better value for money.. VERY impressed.
Thankyou for the great Murray River Cruise!
and the dolphins in the river. It was fun to be on board.
Matteo (skipper) and Leigh (commentator / guide) were friendly, funny, and very good communicators. The safety briefing was thorough without being long and boring. We saw dolphins pretty quickly, and I appreciated the respect that Matteo showed them by waiting for the dolphins to come to the boat rather than chasing them.
Leigh is very knowledgeable about the local area, bird life, and the marine mammals and clearly has a passion she wants to share. It was interesting learning about the canals and seeing the houses from a different perspective. At the front of the boat, there is a kids station with a steering wheel, bell, and telescope. This kept the kids on the boat happy for a long time as they all waited with their parents to take turns. There is a toilet and bar downstairs. However, we ended up not using either.
A great experience overall, thank you! 😊
The food, e.g. crab, scallops, prawns and, of course, the lobster were very delicious. I love the lobster sashimi most!
The tour route is also well organized with a lot of beautiful houses around.
Best part of my Australia trip.
Thank you! We enjoyed our cruise????
Thank you - accolades to a great company!
The saff where very informative of the waterways and the wildlife and of the history of the area.
The two girls onboard are gorgeous and Chloe's commentary with her passion and enthusiasm just stopped it off! The knowledge she shared about the local area was very good - and we did indeed see Dolphins!!
Thanks Seawest team!
