– Step back in time and explore Mandurah’s winding waterways and the serene Murray River on board our relaxing, 4.5-hour Murray River Lunch Cruise.
– The majestic Murray is WA’s most history-rich river. It is the longest permanent river in the Jarrah Forest and one of the few major rivers in Australia that remains undammed. Lined with quaint homes, houseboats and an array of wild flora and fauna, it is one of the Shire of Murray’s most picturesque attractions.

How to use
After the booking is confirmed, we will send a confirmation to your email. On the day of the event, please arrive at the departure point 15 minutes in advance and bring your electronic confirmation to exchange for your ticket.
Good to know
Our boat is configured as 4-6 people per table, across two levels. We cannot reserve seats. Seating is allocated on the day, on a first-in, first-choice basis. If you have a group and being seated together is important for you, we recommend arriving early (at least 45 minutes prior to departure) to assemble in a line on the jetty ramp.
Minimum numbers apply for this cruise to operate. There is a possibility of cancellation after confirmation if there are not enough passengers to meet requirements. In the event of this occurring, you will be offered an alternative date or full refund.
If a severe marine weather warning is issued for the cruise area, there is a possibility of cancellation after confirmation. In the event of this occurring, you will be offered an alternative cruising date or full refund.
You will be required to take accountability for your group’s seating location, as our crew are unable to designate guests to certain seats. Our cruise is very popular and is often sold out, meaning all seats quickly become occupied as guests arrive.
No smoking is permitted on board any of Mandurah Cruises vessels or on the departure jetty.
Mandurah’s dolphins are wild creatures viewed in their natural environment and we are unable to guarantee sightings.
Stop at Cooper’s Mill heritage island site can occasionally be affected by weather and access on the day, as we are using a public jetty.
We are unable to reserve seating on the boat ~ seats are allocated on the day, on a first-in, first-choice basis.
