The commentary offers information around the ecological and historical value of the river, with the added excitement of the adventure and wilderness jet boating.

We can accommodate up to 9 passengers on our larger boat or 6 on our smaller boat, we recommend you book ahead so you don't miss out - especially in the peak months October through to April.
