Awaken to the promise of a new day as you set sail from Woodlane, gliding upriver and soaking in the awe-inspiring panoramas of the Murray River system.

Dive deeper into the river’s beauty with a guided cruise through the shallows, getting up close to the magnificent cliffs aboard a small boat led by an expert ecologist. As evening descends, gather with fellow passengers for a refreshing drink before feasting on a traditional Aussie barbeque on the riverbank, all under a canopy of sparkling stars. The night comes alive with live entertainment around a warm campfire, where you can even request your favorite tunes to sing along with the resident musician!
