Dedicated to wildlife viewing or a a combination of wildlife and scenery, our cruises are at a more leisurely pace. We love showing visitors our wonderful wildlife and beautiful coastal scenery and provide interesting information to help you appreciate what you see.
We also offer scenic cruises combined with wildlife viewing and short guided nature walks to some beautiful locations, only accessible by boat.
Combine tours to maximise your experience. For example we recommend:
Conservation Fund: We will donate $ 5.00 p.p. into the Ruggedy Range Conservation Fund for each person that takes part in at least 2 tours. The monies will be used to support protection of our native wildlife and ecosystems from threats that include from the use of harmful pesticides / rodenticides. Thank you for your support.
