Overview
The landscapes of Blue Mountains National Park are often explored from lookouts—but the waterways offer a quieter perspective. This leisurely lunch cruise aboard a restored paddlewheeler follows the Nepean River through the dramatic Nepean Gorge, whose sandstone cliffs date back millions of years. As you drift along the river, enjoy a two-course lunch with coffee and tea while taking in the scenery and chatting with the captain if you wish.
- Combine lunch with sightseeing as you take a river cruise
- Benefit from vantage points only possible onboard a boat
- See the sights of Blue Mountains National Park from the water
- Enjoy great photo ops of the ancient Nepean Gorge

It’s a relaxing quiet day out. Visitors from the UK absolutely loved the experience and so did we. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the food was delicious.

It’s great value for money and very high quality. Food was spot on and the boat has a good atmosphere. The crew work very hard and do everything to add to the experience.

Great relaxing lunch cruise. Sitting upstairs is a must. Scenery is great.
The captain and staff are fantastic.

The Scenery: It may not be grandiose but it is still pretty. Definitely worth a look.
The Paddleboat: It is lovely, and has that old world feel. You can enjoy the view from your table or nab a spot at the front river level stop. But, I recommend sitting outside, up top. The breeze, the view, the company and the comfort.
The Food: Fabulously delicious! Served on share platter.
The Cruise: It's a lovely, peaceful way to spend the day.
As a solo traveler, If you're looking for something to do and you have no other real plans, this is a great last minute option. Or, if you just wanna do something that doesn't require a lot of stress, it's well worth the trip.
Just a note, they can also accommodate pairs and larger groups.
Cost: a fair cost for the cruise and the meal.
Overall: It's a winner!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a great review Jordan :) We take a lot of pride in the experience we offer on the Nepean Belle - whether it's a solo traveler joining us, a couple, family or a large group. Our solo travelers often spend time chatting our Captain Chris in the Wheelhouse (he has a lot of stories to tell and can answer ANY question about the river, the boat and the region!).
We look forward to seeing you again soon.

The experience was value for money.

We had excellent experience with this tour. The staff was very friendly and excellent measures in place for social distancing,
hygiene and spacing between tables. Food was simple and delicious. We had great photos and had fun with the kids.
The best tour with the family for any occasions.

I don't know what to rate more highly: staff, food, scenery- all fantastic!
The care and attention to Covid protocols were reassuring.
