What you can expect

  • Embark on a breathtaking journey through the stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage of the Coorong.

    Cruise downstream from the port of Goolwa along the historic wharf & towards the Goolwa Barrage. Travel through the lock chamber, down to sea level and spot a few lazy fur-seals lounging about. We then meander along the waterways of the Coorong, following the last kilometres of the mighty Murray River to the Murray Mouth and the its opening to the Southern Ocean.

    Cruise on past the Murray Mouth and into Storm Boy country, passing by the quaint fishing village of the Coorong Shacks before pulling up onto the beach for a optional guided walk through the dunes, Indigenous Midden site, rich cultural interpretation and bush-tucker trail to the infamous 90-Mile Beach and the roaring Southern Ocean. Here a Ngarrindjeri Indigenous Guide will welcome you to the Coorong, share cultural interpretation & share a smoke ceremony with us.

    Learn the 'Coorong Shuffle' and dig for Pipi's/Kuti on the beach before returning back to the vessel. Our skipper has been busily cooking up a taster of 'Pipi's' to try before we continue our cruise past Storm Boy filming sites, towering dunes and enjoy a delicious lunch on-board as we pass by the other barrages and deep into the Coorong.

    Our second stop gives you the opportunity for another guided stroll onto spectacular sand dunes, with an expert Indigenous Guide to significant Ngarrindjeri cultural sites & learn how Ngarrindjeri people have lived and flourish in the Coorong for thousands of years. Enjoy a well deserved afternoon tea on return to the vessel and quietly meander back along the stunning Coorong back to our home port of Goolwa.

    Beautiful scenery, bird-life, seals and expert commentary along the way - this 6 hour cruise of Adventure is the ultimate way to see the remote and wondrous wetlands of the Coorong.

    Limited Bar open throughout tour.
    Toilet Facilities available on board.
