Why We Love This Unique Experience
Ballina Experience Gifts: Discover the natural beauty of Richmond River Reserve on this relaxing sunset cruise led by a marine biologist guide.
Your experience begins when you arrive at the boarding wharf in Ballina, where your friendly guide will be waiting to welcome you aboard. Grab your life vest and take a seat, making sure to have your camera at the ready. Being a marine biologist, your guide will have great knowledge of the local flora and fauna, and will point out any interesting photo opportunities. As you cruise down the river, passing through luscious mangrove forests, keep an eye out for the many birds and sea animals lurking about. The river is known to attract dolphins from time to time! And to make the experience of immersing yourself into Richmond River's wildlife scene even more special, the cruise runs during sunset. Relax with a complimentary drink and a tasty snack whilst you take in the ultimate sunset views from the boat.
The Ballina Sunset Nature Cruise makes the perfect experience gift for nature lovers, and is a wonderful way to see an Aussie sunset.

Experience Overview:
Sunset River Cruise On The Richmond River ReserveDiscover the tranquil waters of the Richmond River Nature Reserve around Ballina Island. Our River Cruises are the perfect combination of leisure with a hint of fast-paced excitement. Let us show you the sights, sounds, and wildlife that you cannot see from the shore. Our tours go through the mangrove forests, down the creeks, showcasing the richly diverse flora and fauna unique to this region along the way.
Learn about wildlife, local points of interest & history of the area from our Marine Biologist guide. Many rare birds and sea creatures such as dolphins can be spotted along the river, and for real nature lovers, it can be quite a thrill to see these animals in real life and up close.
Sit back and bask in a glorious sunset as you enjoy complimentary beverages, locally made sweet & savoury delights, chilled tunes & the sounds of nature. Beautiful sunset views are a treat from the boat, and for photography lovers, this makes for the prime opportunity to get some rare, beautiful shots to bring back with you.
Our trips cater to groups large and small and are perfect for children and adults. Whether you and a loved one are looking for an intimate evening out on the river, or you want to teach your kids more about Australian wildlife, our tours can cater to your group’s specific needs. Relaxing, exciting, and informative, our cruises will let you experience the natural landscape and the river like never before.
