    The excursion is very well organized and interesting. Lunch offered well. The bad luck we had was that the river was very swollen due to the abundant rains that had fallen. The photo they have in the App does not correspond. We have not seen these cliffs. Where the cruise takes place is a flat landscape.

    Saw many interesting villages and beautiful, ever-changing countryside in the hills. Very relaxing and comfortable, slow cruise along the river with nice lunch. Saw lots of birdlife. Informative tour guide. Lovely to visit the chocolate and cheese factory. Plenty of time to spend in the historic town of Mannum and lovely spots for photos.
