Murray River Tours
Australia’s longest river – The Murray River – stretches over 2,500 kilometres bordering the states of Victoria and New South Wales, before winding its way through the South Australian Riverland to the sea. The river has played a vital part in the three states’ economies, being a source of irrigation, transport and in later years, tourism.
Many visitors to the Murray River find that the best way to see this gorgeous River is to take a leisurely cruise aboard a Paddle steamer. Paddle steamers were the primary source of commerce and trade along the river in the late eighteen hundreds and the early twentieth century. These days, Paddle steamers are a great way to see the sights of the iconic Murray River, with its unique flora and fauna, its historic legacy of indigenous culture and old riverside ports. Everything is done at your pace as you cruise leisurely down the river in style.
Many paddle boat tours take you into the rich Riverina area and the famous Barossa Valley. Both areas have their attractions, the Riverina being famous for fruit production and the Barossa for its fine wines. What better way to sample the beautiful products on offer from these wonderfully productive areas than to call upon them via the river itself, sample the produce and then re-board your vessel to cruise merrily further down the mighty Murray River?
