Glide through the internationally recognised wetlands on board the Kingfisher Cruises, where culture and ecology meet. This Ramsar-listed wetland is home to the world's largest river red gum forest and one of the most significant waterbird breeding sites in Australia.
Kingfisher Cruises travel through the Murray River's narrowest point, known as the Barmah Choke, where the river flows almost twice its normal speed. Along the journey, guests hear Yorta Yorta stories of Country and learn about the deep cultural and ecological connections to this living landscape.
The wetlands are a haven for more than 236 bird species, including sea-eagles, pelicans, and the threatened superb parrot, as well as kangaroos, emus, and rich aquatic life. Every cruise offers a unique opportunity to listen, learn, and connect.

Grace gave a great tour, shared lots of knowledge, whilst also navigating the boat! Managed to see pelicans, a kingfisher, carp, a swallow, eagles, and more. Has picnic tables and toilets nearby too. Would recommend if you’re in the area.

Highly recommended. Benita is amazing tour guide. She is very knowledgeable and enjoys her job. The tour worth the penny. I wish we could visit Barmah Lake but apparently that is not possible in normal circumstances. The ferry was very clean and smooth. The only negative feedback is the kids were to noisy and running around and no action from captain.
