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. Please note that both boats operate separately with one driver, based on how many passengers are on the boat.

We also cater for private groups and hunting tours.
