Depart Adelaide for a full-day journey into the heart of South Australia’s iconic Murray River region. Begin your adventure aboard the Proud Mary, a classic riverboat offering a peaceful cruise along the Murray. Relax as you watch for native birds and wildlife, all while enjoying a scenic onboard lunch.
Learn about the region’s rich river history and its unique ecosystems as you float past gum-lined banks and peaceful wetlands. After disembarking, enjoy free time to explore the charming river town of Mannum and capture panoramic photos from Mannum Lookout.
On your return journey to Adelaide, travel through the picturesque Adelaide Hills. Stop at Melba’s Chocolate Factory for a sweet treat (own expense), or visit Woodside Cheese Wrights for locally made cheese.
This tour offers a perfect mix of nature, history, food, and local charm—ideal for travelers seeking a relaxed yet enriching experience.
Pick up was fabulous and driver was very knowledgeable and friendly. The seats were lacking in leg room and no storage facility. The tour was well balanced with some personal time and the lunch/river cruise exceeded expectations.
Lunch on Proud Mary was very enjoyable. The trip there and back was informative and we saw a lot of the surrounding area. This being the 3rd day we had travelled in the Adelaide surrounds we thought the time allocated at Mannum and the chocolate factory were a little long.
Tour guide was very knowledgeable and staff on board Proud Mary friendly and helpful.
We thoroughly enjoyed the cruise. The lunch was very appetising. Our coach driver was very knowledgeable of aspects of the country we drove through and had lots of anecdotes to share of his own experiences. Thanks.
Peter our guide was awesome, full of knowledge, a little expensive for what you got, but a gd day out
