Why We Love This Unique Experience
Adelaide Experience Gifts: Sit back and relax on a gentle 45 minute cruise along Adelaide's River Torrens.
After boarding your comfortable cruise ship at Elder Park Landing, you’ll set off on a 45 minute cruise along a section of the River Torrens. Thanks to the boat's wide open sides, you’ll be able to enjoy great views over all of the sites, including Adelaide’s old gaol, and the historic Lounder’s Boatshed, established in 1913 for skippers to repair their crafts. You’ll pass Adelaide Zoo, and maybe even sneak a peek at the resident orangutans in the treetops, and see the mighty twin spires of St Peter’s Cathedral in the distance. Throughout the journey, the captain will provide an entertaining commentary on the buildings you pass, and how they have contributed to Adelaide’s past and present.
Relaxing and tranquil, a 45 minute river cruise along Adelaide’s River Torrens is a brilliant way to see the city. It’s the perfect activity for your next Adelaide vacation and a thoughtful experience gift for couples and families.
