Meandering up the Murchison - Grant has the perfect personality and Aussie sense of humour to guide you down the river. Whilst Tracey was taking the time to greet, meet and have a personal interaction with each group and serve them a hot drink! Such a beautiful way to start the day.

An interesting trip on the Murchison - We enjoyed our cruise on the Murchison River. Birds were observed, interesting cliffs and a great entertaining commentary. Tracy and Grant were very good hosts. A good cup of tea and biscuits were also offered. We enjoyed the walk stopover, to explore the terrain and stretch our legs. A lovely Father's Day trip.

Relaxing Morning River Cruise - Had a wonderful morning cruising the Murchison River with Grant . We’re fortunate to have great weather and really enjoyed a very interesting and humorous commentary from Grant along the way. We were also lucky to spot 2 albino kangaroos as well as other wildlife and birds. It was a terrific way to spend a morning exploring the waterways of wonderful Kalbarri Would highly recommend. Thank You Grant

Friendly and informative - It was a great trip up the river. Grant was very amusing in his commentary. The flies were an unfortunate extra - a head net is essential anywhere at this time of year.

River cruise with a difference a Grant spectacular - Highly entertaining and informative cruise up the Murcheson River. Lots to see, especially the bird life. Grant was a true entertainer but very knowledgeable on the history and facts about the river. An enjoyable trip
