Departing at 9:40 am from the Arthur River township, the journey features free movement around the vessel, including front and rear viewing decks for stunning photographs. Passengers can engage in lively discussions with the skipper in the main passenger lounge, fostering a relaxed atmosphere. The cruise showcases the serene river, lush vegetation, and pristine forested banks, including myrtles, blackwoods, leatherwoods, sassafras, silver wattles, and endangered brooker gums. At Turk’s Landing, guests can admire giant brown top stringybark trees and ancient giant tree ferns. The vessel accommodates as few as six passengers, welcoming children and guests with disabilities. Toilet facilities are available on board.
