Murray River Cruise and Farmland
The Murray River, with its 2,500 kilometres of waterway, is one of Australia’s most picturesque waterways. The Murray River tour starts in Mannam, where guests board a comfortable boat with luxurious cabins offering stunning views of the calm waters and surrounding countryside. On board, you’ll be greeted with a welcome drink and a meal prepared with local produce by talented chefs. This cruise is not only a relaxing experience, but also a journey into the history and culture of the region, perfect for nature lovers and foodies.
The first stop is the historic town of Echuca, where you can learn about the history of shipping on the Murray River. The Wooden Boat Museum tells the story of when the river was the main means of transporting goods. After the tour, you’ll stroll through the narrow streets of the town, where you’ll find shops selling local souvenirs, including woollen goods, ceramics and unique Australian wines.
The next part of the program will be tasting local products at farms along the river. You will visit a winery, where you can try classic Australian varieties such as Shiraz and Chardonnay. A farm with olive groves will offer you to try oils that go perfectly with traditional halloumi cheese. Excursions are accompanied by fascinating stories from farmers about the intricacies of production and the peculiarities of the region.
After a busy day, guests return to the boat, where in the evening there are entertainment programs with live music and dancing. The next day, the cruise will continue, and you will go to even more secluded corners of the Murray River. The silence and tranquility of these places make them ideal for observing nature: waterfowl, rare plant species and even shy kangaroos are found on the banks of the river. The tour ends with a picnic in nature, where you can enjoy the last minutes of peace before returning.
