This is the ultimate in river cruises!! This experience will provide memories for a lifetime. Lunch tour from $150 per person.
Meandering down the Hawkesbury River aboard a barbecue boat or smaller boat provides a truly Australian experience. Don’t waste your time in a bus trip to the Blue Mountains. Instead, explore the Hawkesbury River (only one hour from Sydney ) that remains in its natural state as a national park for everyone to enjoy; most of it is still the same as it was 228 years ago when Europeans first arrived in 1788.
Highlights:
• Spectacular river scenery and secluded beaches
• Optional delicious Aussie barbecue, gourmet or luxury lunch on the boat including Australian wine and beer
• Real Australian bush – you may see giant goannas, parrots, kookaburras
• Optional fishing
• Explore aboriginal sites and middens
• Professional Guide and skipper providing you with their local knowledge of aboriginal sites, flora, fauna and history
• groups up to 12 people.
Review by French client Laurent Durant on Chantal’s tours:
“Sad disappointment on the day visiting the Blue Mountains: This day would have been more profitable staying in Sydney. The city of Sydney is really beautiful and would have required 4 to 5 days of visit: Tour by our French guide Chantal Herlihy was really appreciated: she created a tour with original and out of the way tourist options”
