About this tour
Cruise the Murray River aboard the Murray Princess, a working paddle wheeler that carries you between Walkers Flat and Murray Bridge over four days. Sleep onboard in an outside cabin whilst exploring the river's wetlands and agricultural heritage. Days blend guided nature walks, wildlife spotting from a small boat, visits to historic settlements, and tastings from the region's wineries and producers. Evenings feature live entertainment and three-course dinners. Return coach transport from Adelaide is included.

What to expect
You'll settle into your cabin and spend the next three nights aboard a genuine paddle steamer. Each day unfolds at a gentle pace: morning coffee whilst the boat glides past river red gums and wetlands, then a guided walk or guided excursion. Afternoons might include a small-boat foray into quieter backwaters where you'll spot brolgas, ibis, and platypuses if you're lucky. One day takes you ashore to a historic river town. Evenings return you to the vessel for pre-dinner drinks, a sit-down meal, and live music or talks—often about the region's wine and agricultural production.
