UP RIVER OR DOWN RIVER?

Wake of the boat

WHICH TOUR SHOULD I CHOOSE?

In boating, we plan every trip prior to casting off. Why?
The answer is twofolds.

1It is important to know where you are going. This means that the river is full of clues to keep you safe; markers, sandbars and submerged objects, and being aware of them before you reach them makes the journey easier and safer
2What you want to see and maybe experience, will point you in the right “tour” direction. Also the time you spend on the river; say you want to see Elizabeth Quay, then you know you will have to book the Mid-Morning or Afternoon Cruise for 3 hours, which takes you to EQ and back. Or maybe you want to head to Mandoon for the day, then 6 or 8 hours will be your choice.

Each tours is subject to the weather, tide and current. Perth is known for high gusts and sometimes this will slow the boat down and you may not reach your destination. The journey and your crew is more important than the destination, but we have included some of the highlights in each tour below
