Itinerary
Look over Adelaide City and the panoramic views. This area was discovered by Mathew Flinders in 1802. Weather permitting as can be very cold and fogged in.
Drive past Thorngrove Manor. Built to look like a baroque castle, this lavish, high-concept hotel is 1.5 km from the Mount Lofty Botanical Gardens and 9 km from the 835-hectare Belair National Park.
Bridgewater Mill and Waterwheel. Set in the charming town of Bridgewater in the rambling scenery of the Adelaide Hills, this old mill dates back to 1860 when it was built by John Dunn, a mill engineer from Devonshire. He built a number of flour mills throughout Australia, but the Bridgewater Mill is by far his most famous. (Please note water wheel is not in operation and only a ststic display) Situated on Mount Barker Road, the mill boasts an impressive waterwheel which was built back in the mid 1800s. Dunn chose this particular spot for the mill because it was a prime hotspot for catching traffic that passed through the area. In 1986, the mill was bought by a consortium that renovated it and integrated an award-winning winery into the building: Petaluma wines. Today, it is both a popular restaurant and a wine cellar, drawing in crowds looking for cultural pursuits in the Adelaide area.
Board for your 3 Hour 2 Course Lunch Cruise. Heading up river to the spectacular cliffs is a sight to behold or enjoy the lower reaches of the Murray River surrounding Murray Bridge a relaxing time out. Either way you have the best of the Murray River at your leisure.
Enjoy free time in Hahndorf after your River Cruise. Hahndorf is classified as Australia's oldest surviving German settlement and each year thousands of people, young and old, enjoy its charm and the hospitality.

this was a very full day which we didn’t picture from the itinerary. the berrenburg and hahndorf stops were added bonuses as well as mt lofty lookout . these complimented the main event the lunch on the murray which is a must do. another value for money tour when you factor in door to door service and expert commentary by ship captain and tour operator
What a wonderful day! Murray River cruising with a delicious lunch, Visiting Beerenberg farm, Harndorf & Mt Lofty! Our. Driver was fantastic rearranging activities around the inclement weather! We saw everything! Wonderful!
We had a great day and really enjoyed the river cruise and lunch. 8 out of 10 for the day. A varied day with high views water travel and shopping down Hahndorf.
We had a great day. Our tour guide ( Roy) was very knowledgeable and absolutely hilarious. It was a fantastic fun experience. Will recommend it to all of our friends
A wonderfully relaxed way to visit the surrounding areas of Adelaide. Roy’s humour and genuine engagement made a grey day into a fun, memorable experience. He clearly enjoys going above and beyond to make his tours memorable. He made a conscious effort to engage with all passengers, and encouraged everyone to enjoy each other’s company.
Really good experience, great commentary, great hosts. Food freshly cooked very well. Highly recommend
It was wonderful the service was very good in very department from start to finish
Paul our driver and guide was friendly, punctual, knowledgeable and helpful. He looked after us all and entertained us with information, dad jokes and local knowledge. The paddleboat journey was very relaxing and enjoyable and the meal was tasty. All the staff from the Captain to the crew were attentive, friendly and efficient.
River cruise was enjoyable. When we booked tour it stated that we were going to a chocolate shop but this tour did not and we went to Handorf instead.
Hi Peta, we do not include a chocolate stop with our tour. I believe what had happened is your booking agent may have had you with another provider and for whatever reason has changed it to our tour. But I am very happy that you enjoyed your day.
enjoyed the trip especially Hansdorf
