What you can expect

  • Begin your cruise by gliding up the river alongside the Egg Island Conservation Area. Look out for the spectacular birdlife swimming and fishing in the river or soaring in the sky looking for prey.

    Once you arrive at the historic township of Franklin, the boat will slow down for you to take in the gorgeous buildings, boats, and man-made features of the once-thriving village and hub of the southern region.

    On the trip back, sit back and enjoy the serenity, have another drink, and let your mind wander in awe of this special place in the world.
