Sail your own way on the Swan River
Nauti Picnics is located on the tranquil shores of Maylands Peninsula, only 15 min from Perth CBD and Perth Airport.
This unique, eco-friendly boat is the new sustainable way of travelling on the river, and you may hire without a skipper’s ticket (boat license).
The Swan River invites you on a long history line of Indigenous sacred stories, Perth settlement, modern architecture, and fantastic wildlife. It is the perfect gateway between urbanism and wine land.
With over 35km of river to explore, you can spend the day discovering new and familiar places from Elizabeth Quay to the spectacular Swan Valley – Western Australia’s oldest wine region.
- We will teach you how to drive the boat
- All safety equipment is included
- No petrol needed, just silent cruising
All you need to do is book the boat, gather the crew, pack a picnic, plan the day and set out on the river. We take care of the rest.
Are you ready to unplug and cruise the Upper Swan?
