I had the pleasure of cruising with James and Sandra on Sunday. It was such a lovely experience. It felt like cruising with friends (who did all the work!) The photo book of how the boat was developed was fabulous - it has certainly been a labor of love. Their locally produced products on the platter were delicious. They are both such personable people it made the whole experience relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable.

We genuinely could not speak more highly of Rivergum Cruises. James and Sandra were both incredibly lovely people. My husband and I were amazed at the journey they have been on to build their beautiful boat, the knowledge they shared about the Riverland and their generous hospitality - they even shared their own homegrown produce! So glad we went on, and we'll definitely be looking to do another cruise with them the next time we're in the area again. :)

We travelled an hour each way from where we we staying and it was totally worth it. Two amazing hosts who love what they do and are passionate and knowledgeable about the local area. Beautiful hand crafted boat, unbelievably comfy. All six of us aged 8 to 70 had an awesome time. Couldn't ask for nicer people who made it special for all of us. Great food included in price and very reasonably priced local wines. Tour was a bit pricier than other/closer options but thankfully they weren't available as this tour was worth every cent.

Super relaxing and informative cliff tour. The platters of food that are offered around are sourced locally and the dried fruit is from Sandra's own trees. The boat is clean and modern and very comfy no matter what part you choose to sit. Would definitely recommend these guys for a cruise, wed love to come back for the sunset one.
Cheers
