The tour is entertaining, lively and educational. You see interesting sights, local birds, and learn about the area's history and geography. Excellent photo opportunities as well, I have great snaps of white-tailed juvenile eagle. Strongly recommend to everyone visiting Kalbarri.

It is very pleasant and very knowledgeable . Grant and Tracey have a hospitable manner and present many interesting facts in a delightful commentary. Refreshments are available as part of the cruise. Despite the apprehension of an uncomfortable trip due to a strong breeze it was well handled.

Thoroughly enjoyable trip

COLLEEN_W, Jun 2025

We had a great trip. Grant and Tracy were really knowledgeable and interesting. Grants commentary was also very funny as well as informative. We saw lots of birds including Emus, as well as kangaroos and a fox on the shore. Well worth the cost of the ticket, which included a hot drink and biscuits. Perfect.

Coinvolgente, rilassante, molto ben organizzata. Il tour operator davvero bravo. Si risale il fiume ammirando uccelli, canguri, e tanti altri animali a seconda del periodo.
