Half-Day Coorong Experience

What your day looks like

A delicious lunch is served on board as we cruise downstream from the port of Goolwa along the historic wharf & towards the Goolwa Barrage. Travel through the lock chamber, down to sea level, and spot a few lazy fur seals lounging about. We then meander along the waterways of the Coorong, following the last kilometers of the mighty Murray River to the Murray Mouth and its opening to the Southern Ocean. Cruise on past the Murray Mouth and into Storm Boy country, passing by the quaint fishing village of the Coorong Shacks before pulling up onto the beach for an optional guided walk through the dunes, Indigenous Midden site, rich cultural interpretation and bush-tucker trail to the infamous 90-Mile Beach and the roaring Southern Ocean. Learn the 'Coorong Shuffle' and dig for Pipi on the beach before returning back to the vessel and continuing our cruise past Storm Boy filming sites and towering dunes. Afternoon Tea is served on the meandering return journey back to Goolwa. Beautiful scenery, bird life, seals, and expert commentary along the way - this 3.5-hour cruise of Discovery is the perfect way to see the remote and wondrous wetlands of the Coorong. Cruise Departs: 1pm every Monday, Thursday & Saturday (Year-Round)Boarding will commence approximately 15 minutes prior to departure time.
