Overview

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…

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.
