River Cruise

River Cruises

Exploring the Berg River by boat offers a completely different perspective on the surrounding landscape. Drifting along the calm, tidal waters allows you to take in the estuary at a slower pace, with uninterrupted views of reed beds, open channels, and the wide West Coast skies.

River cruises are especially rewarding for birdwatching, as the quiet movement of a boat often allows for closer encounters with pelicans, cormorants, herons, and a variety of wading birds that are more difficult to approach on foot. 

These guided cruises provide a relaxed way to learn more about the estuary’s ecosystem, including how tides influence the river and the role it plays in supporting both birdlife and fish species.

Guests can enquire at reception to arrange a river cruise during their stay.
