WHO WE ARE?
We’re so glad you’re here. Welcome to our world, we are James and Sandra, your cruise hosts and owners of Rivergum Cruises and our brand-new boat ‘Qatar’. We’d love to invite you aboard a relaxing cruise up or down the Murray River in the heart of the Riverland, Waikerie, South Australia.
The river is smooth, and we thrive (and smile) in giving you the most beautiful experience of getting up close and personal with nature. It’s your time to enjoy the unique bird life, native flora and local fauna, while cruising past 100-foot majestic limestone cliffs and glorious native gum and mallee trees, on the picturesque banks of the River Murray.
Life is lovely from our boat, and we can’t wait for you to enjoy it in all its beauty!
James and Sandra

Sandra & James hospitality while cruising was great and enjoying a platter and complimentary drink. James knowledge of the different sites along the way was very interesting. Enjoying the fresh breeze out on the bow of the boat sipping on a glass of bubbly is always pleasure.
Lunch at Banrock was very tasty end to the cruise. Then safely taken by bus back to Waikerie.
