Loved by Guests

My husband and I were in Karumba about 2 months ago. We are nearly at the end of our holiday and as we reminisce we are reminded of how good this sunset cruise was by looking at our photos!
The staff were so nice and friendly and we enjoyed chatting to them. They were knowledgeable about the area and wildlife there. We loved seeing the birds and crocs!
The price and value for money was fantastic!
We would 100% recommend this cruise to anyone travelling to Karumba!

The Ferryman

A spacious, stable 50-passenger barge (approx. 10m x 4m) with plenty of room to move around and take photos. A great option for photographers looking for steady sunset and wildlife shots.
