Coorong Tours
Tour the Coorong - Escape the bustle of the city for a day exploring the greater reaches of Adelaide’s natural wonderland.
Cruise downstream from the port of Goolwa departing from the historic wharf & towards the Goolwa Barrage. Travel through the lock chamber, down to sea level and maybe spot a few lazy fur seals lounging about. We then meander along the waterways of the Coorong, following the last kilometres of the mighty Murray River to view 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’s on the beach before returning back to the vessel. Our skipper has been busy cooking up a taster of ‘Pipi’s’ to try before we continue our cruise past Storm Boy filming sites, towering dunes and then enjoy a delicious lunch on-board as we pass by the other barrages and deep into the Coorong.
Our second stop gives you the opportunity for another guided stroll onto spectacular sand dunes and a significant Ngarrindjeri occupation/cultural site. Enjoy a well-deserved afternoon tea on return to the vessel and quietly meander back along the stunning Coorong back to our home port of Goolwa.
Your day of sightseeing and non-stop views awaits.
