What you can expect
We welcome you on board our vessel, there is a safety speech and induction prior to departure. We travel approx. 6km up the lower reaches of the Murchison (12km return cruise) - this is as far as any vessel can go.
Interesting commentary is provided along the way from the fishing industry, history of the region, animals and plants, and we encourage you to join in and share your knowledge or you may just sit back, relax and take it all in.
As the land begins to open up with wide spaces and low shrubbery, varieties of birdlife can be spotted. The lower reaches are home to a number of species of birdlife including ospreys, kites, pelicans, egrets, black swans and our local white breasted sea eagles. At times, kangaroos, emus and goats can be spotted on the riverbanks.
The landscape elevates in sections with beautiful coloured rocks, and a narrow channel along goat island. At the turn around point we often stop at Rocky Crossing to stretch our legs, then make for the return journey with plenty of time to relax, take photos and enjoy.
We finish our tour by venturing to the river mouth where the Murchison River meets the Indian Ocean, one of WA’s most treacherous channels. It’s impressive to see the power of the ocean and water move through this channel as boats come and go.
