What an amazing cruise ,Sandra and James went out of their way to look after us .the beautiful grazing platter, the expert commentary, the book James has put together of the building of the boat is unbelievable. Could not recommend highly enough, The trip to Riverland is not complete unto you had this cruise. Thank you Sandra and James for taking us on unforgettable ,beautiful afternoon.Geoff & Sue Hughes,Ralf & Lully Corbacho.

Had a wonderful time on the sunset cruise with Sandra and James. Such accomodating hosts and very knowledgeable about the area. Great way experience the Murray.

Had a fantastic afternoon on the beautiful boat, Qatar. We did the fringe event painting the cliffs with artist Sue. Next time want to do the sunset tour! Sandra and James were fabulous hosts - thank you a lovely afternoon!

We spent a lovely evening in October doing a sunset cruise. They are such a lovely couple & we enjoyed chatting about how the boat was built. Would recommend for sure!

A lovely relaxing experience on a lovely boat and with two very complementary hosts. The freedom to sit in different places, dip in to conversations and local knowledge and just chill out made it the best part of our weekend break. Thank you

Afternoon cruise on the Murray River upstream from Waikerie. Beautiful scenery under the cliffs and trees along the riverbank, and heaps of birdlife to see. The boat is well equipped, well looked after and comfortable. Very friendly and knowledgeable hosts, grazing platter, and a couple of drinks made for an enjoyable and relaxing outing. Highly recommended.

Beautiful relaxing trip A beautiful relaxing trip.
Very friendly helpful staff.
A very enjoyable grazing platter of local produce.
Would highly recommend the cruise if you are in the area

Design your own crew & have a blast The hospitality was top notch! The commentary and hosts’ knowledge was superb. We had a thoroughly fun family time and the first timers among us made lasting memories.

Great river cruise A wonderful cruise even though the weather was cool. The scenery is amazing and the service outstanding. Would highly recommend.

Celebrations an Good river times James and Sandra are wonderful hosts. Their river knowledge is great. The boat is so comfortable, the different spaces you can enjoy, out the back, inside, up on top deck or out the front, the river views are great. The platters Sandra makes from local produce are tops, the drink selection is good, I highly recommend them an give them a 10/10 for everything, we will definitely go again

A great way to celebrate a family birthday. A great way to celebrate my husbands 80th birthday with family from interstate. A perfect sunny winters day cruising along the River Murray. Our hosts, James and Sandra, were a wealth of information about the sights along the way. A generous grazing platter with wine or coffee added to the experience. Would be happy to recommend this cruise to anyone visiting the Riverland.

Sunset cruise We had a lovely relaxing evening onboard the Rivergum. It was great way for the budding photographer like myself to capture spectacular views of the Murray with all its fauna & flora, whilst being wined & dined on this sunset cruise.

We stayed couple of nights in Loxton, on the way back home to Adelaide we stopped at Waikerie and took the Rivergum Boat Cruise to explore the beautiful Murry river.
I has been great pleasure to meet Sandra and James who are very friendly and informative.
The hospitalities were amazing, I've been very fortunate to have great conversations with both Sandra and James who are very pleasant to talk and very knowledgeable about their profession.
I highly recommend other travelers to consider this very relaxing and memorable trip.

Relaxing sunset river cruise This was a beautiful way to see the Murray River. Saw amazing limestone clips, river birds including the amazing pelican. James has an amazing insight into the history and details of the river, and Sandra serves up a beautifully homegrown platter of fruits and delicacies. There is local wine to enjoy as well. This cruise is one of the only that you can do locally in the Riverland and is well worth doing if you want to enjoy some peaceful time on the river.

Amazing couple great value so relaxing great cruise

Relaxing Amazing trip we recommend you go very relaxing great husband and wife crew great grazing platers coffee and tea and wine and beer a very great way to slow down and enjoy the beautiful Murray River

Sunset cruise from Waikerie Beautiful sunset cruise. Fantastic hosts and great comfortable boat. We had a great time for Mums 91st birthday . Lovely platter and wine. Couldn't ask for more. Definitely recommend this cruise. Gorgeous sunsets

A perfect afternoon cruise A group of us (10 friends) enjoyed a wonderful cruise with Sandy & James and we couldn't be happier. We loved the boat, there was room to spread out and relax, the platter was very tasty and included lots of local produce. There was a great variety of wine and beer to choose from whilst on board and the commentary was very interesting. The River was stunning and Sandy & James made our trip fun, relaxing, interesting and overall a perfect afternoon. Service was definitely with a smike. We thank you very much :-)

Great experience!! We really enjoyed our time in the cruise, Sandra & James were lovely

Just so relaxing. Sandra and James are so welcoming and organised.
Amazing views and many options for cruising to choose from.

Highly recommended tour Informative boat tour on the amazing River Murray and Waikerie area. Sandra and James were great hosts. The boat (that James built!!!) Qatar had lots of room and luxury for our group. We all thoroughly enjoyed the tour

Yarra Cliffs Cruise Great cruise, great hosts, great commentary, great scenery, great platter of local produce. Well suited to our group which included 10-79 year olds, one almost blind, one requiring a walking stick. Variety of options for sitting/viewing. Thank you, will be back to do another different cruise with you!

Thoroughly enjoyed or Cruise along the Murray River with these guys. Great local knowledge of the river. The passion shows in all they have done and their service.
Highly recommended.

Yarra cliff cruise Was a great day, Sandra and James were great hosts, very informative, very friendly , platter was delicious.. very well priced.. definitely would do it again or another cruise they offer.. and would recommend it..

Yarra Cliffs Cruise The weather was great, saw stretches of the river we had never seen before and had a very pleasant afternoon cruise on the Qatar. The locally sourced & home grown platter was excellent as were the hosts Sandra & James. Thank you both for a great and relaxing afternoon.

Rivergum cruises We had perfect weather when we did the sunset river cruise. James and Sandra were the perfect hosts, sharing some of their home grown produce and locally grown produce. It is great to try local foods. the scenery was just fantastic. The river is so peaceful.

Special guests on this labour of love I cannot praise this experience enough. The Qatar is a labour of love for James and Sandra, so from the moment you step on board, you are treated like valued guests in their own home.
I cruised with a friend during a recent stay in the area. We enjoyed every aspect of the experience. Their on board bar serves a nice selection of drinks, including some terrific local wines. Whilst relaxing and enjoying a drink, as James leisurely guides the boat and points out interesting things along the way, Sandra offers guests a generous selection of local produce on a tasting platter, much of which she has prepared herself, including produce from their "block" at Ramco.
Talking with James about the boat and their life, his passion and love for what he does and where he lives is palpable.
He and Sandra are such nice people and they made us feel very special guests.
Oh - I almost forgot the beautiful scenery from various locations around the boat. I love the Murray at the best of times, but on a slow cruise at sunset, with a drink and tasty treats, it's something special.
I can't stop telling people about how enjoyable the cruise was. I'll be booking more in the future. It represents amazing value for money.
Thank you James and Sandra. You do the tourism industry in your region proud.

We travelled an hour each way from where we we staying and it was totally worth it. Two amazing hosts who love what they do and are passionate and knowledgeable about the local area. Beautiful hand crafted boat, unbelievably comfy. All six of us aged 8 to 70 had an awesome time. Couldn't ask for nicer people who made it special for all of us. Great food included in price and very reasonably priced local wines. Tour was a bit pricier than other/closer options but thankfully they weren't available as this tour was worth every cent.

The cruise we took (sunset one) was wonderful! Stunning views, absolutely amazing and professional service!
Both Sandra and James are passionate about cruising and loved to share their knowledge
Very highly recommended ????

Super relaxing and informative cliff tour. The platters of food that are offered around are sourced locally and the dried fruit is from Sandra's own trees. The boat is clean and modern and very comfy no matter what part you choose to sit. Would definitely recommend these guys for a cruise, wed love to come back for the sunset one.

Cheers
Matt and max.

The Murray River Cruise was something that was on our list ever since we moved to Australia but we never got around to doing it due to various reasons. Luckily enough, my sister in the USA gave us a gift voucher to Rivergum cruises at Murray river as a wedding gift.

We called Rivergum cruises and booked in a date. Spoke to Sandra and she was very patient with all our queries(always happy to help).

The day arrived and we were greeted with the warmest smiles from James and Sandra. We took the Yarra cliffs tour and the sights were spectacular. The water had a very calming effect and the cruise was very relaxing.

The journey on Qatar was not just about the cruise but also about the story of how it came to be. It took James 14 years to build the boat and if you ever do the cruise, please leaf through the album of how she was built. It truly is an inspiring story.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and look forward to going back on another one of their tours.

This was a very pleasant and friendly experience. Highly recommended, very relaxing. the owners are passionate about what they are doing and were very delightful to deal with. The whole experience was a real credit to them. Thank you very much a highlight of my trip.
