Cruise the Thomson River

The colours of the outback come alive at sunset as you glide down the Thomson River aboard the M.V. Longreach Explorer. After a warm welcome by our experienced crew, take your seat on the top deck ready to capture 360-degree sweeping, river and floodplain views. Our Captain will enthral you with captivating stories about the river, its wildlife and Indigenous heritage. Enjoy complimentary nibbles on board, and purchase icy cold drinks from our licensed bar. Photo opportunities are endless, but our stop at Sunset Bend is a hands-down favourite. As we leisurely cruise back to our dock, you will see stunning vibrant sunset colours as they fade into starlight.

A highlight of this day tour is the award-winning Age of Dinosaurs museum

For a town of fewer than a thousand people, Winton has played an outsized role in Australian life - it’s where "Waltzing Matilda" was first performed, and it was the birthplace of the country’s flag carrier airline. Discover some of that legacy on this full-day tour. Although you can organize your own Winton tour, this tour cuts out the hassle of outback car rental and finding your way on dusty desert roads.
