SEA WEST Mandurah Boat Day Trips

MURRAY RIVER LUNCH CRUISE
Step back in time and explore Mandurah’s winding waterways and the serene Murray River on board our relaxing, 4.5-hour Murray River Lunch Cruise.
The majestic Murray is WA’s most history-rich river. It is the longest permanent river in the Jarrah Forest and one of the few major rivers in Australia that remain undammed. Lined with quaint homes, houseboats and an array of wild flora and fauna, it is one of the Shire of Murray’s most picturesque attractions. Start the morning cruising across Mandurah’s magnificent estuary. Continue past the world-renowned RAMSAR-listed Creery Wetlands, teeming with birdlife. Cross the Peel Inlet and be on the lookout for Mandurah’s famous Bottlenose dolphins as they surf and play in the wake of the boat.* On entering the Murray River, stop at Cooper’s Mill heritage island site for a brief, easy walking tour. This restored wind-driven mill, located on Cooleenup Island, is only accessible by boat. Explore and wander, or follow our tour guide to learn more about the Mill, native flora and bush tucker on the island. Dine on a delicious buffet lunch and dessert, served while cruising the Murray River. Return back across the Peel Inlet and through the Port Mandurah canals, lined with luxury homes. Enjoy refreshments along the way, with a fully licensed bar available for you to purchase drinks. Help yourself to complimentary tea/coffee (bring your own keep-cup).
*Please note: Mandurah’s dolphins are wild creatures viewed in their natural environment and we are unable to guarantee sightings. Stop at Cooper’s Mill heritage island site is dependent on weather and suitable jetty access on the day.

Alternatively, please call our Booking office on 9581 1242 to let us know you.
The landing at Cooper’s Mill is not wheelchair / walking frame friendly, so guests with these supports will be asked to remain on the boat during this short stop.

SEATING
Our boat is configured as 4-6 people per table, across two levels. We cannot reserve seats. Seating is allocated on the day, on a first-in, first-choice basis. If you have a group and being seated together is important for you, we recommend arriving early (at least 45 minutes prior to departure) to assemble in a line on the jetty ramp. You will be required to take accountability for your own/your group’s seating location, as our crew are unable to designate guests to certain seats. Our cruise is very popular and is often sold out, meaning all seats quickly become occupied as guests arrive.
