Great experience, well worth doing - the seagulls even put on a show with the kids holding snacks out for them to swoop down and pluck from their fingers, so cute.

I really enjoyed this boat trip. Grant was great at keeping everyone entertained with his humour but also provided really good explanations around the ecology of the area. A good way to see the tail end of the Murchison River and give the legs a rest after hiking and seeing the gorges in Kalbarri National Park. Highly recommend.

We went in a group of 8, including 3 pensioners. Price was a little steep, only a discount of $2 for those on concession, Companion Card not recognised (normally free entry for CC holders) does come with a free hot drink and a biscuit. There is an onboard bar but that is extra $$$
Did wonder if it would be cancelled as it had rained on and off during the day.
As it was a high tide we were able to go as far up the river as the boat could go, about an hours ride. Got a low down on the Rock Lobster industry and saw some roos and sea birds.
Did see some of the river you wont by car,
The cruise out was smooth sailing and the sun was out going out, however on the way back the weather had turned for the worst.
Most on board got drenched while we endured the hour long cruise back into town, but not too choppy. Needs to get drop down blinds to protect passengers, or have blankets on board for protection, myself and my daughter tried to huddle under a jacket sitting on the outside I got thoroughly soaked.
Little to nothing to see on way back, could have been because of the weather conditions? Nothing was highlighted like it was on the way out
Advise if its been raining that day take some raincoats with you, or put of for a day if you can.

Dear walker65,
We are very saddened to hear that you did not enjoy your cruise and would have liked if you gave us the opportunity and discussed this with us at the time.
We do explain that commentary is provided on the way down, in regards to a companion card - we are a private business and unfortunately the government does not subsidise our ticket price, unlike public transport.
Our drinks are a set at a very reasonable rate. (ice cold beers are a mere $6), so we are not sure where your four dollar signs are in reference to.
We believe that this big upset here is the weather, unfortunately is the is far beyond our control and the weather came out of no-where towards the end of the trip ( it was not forcast) no-one was expecting the rain.
I guess in this case you can't please everyone, but please if you ever return to Kalbarri, we are more than happy to offer you a free trip for yourself in the future.
Kind regards Grant
