Wogonga Princess Cruise
Today we had a morning cruise around Wogonga Inlet on the Wogonga Princess. Dave, our skipper was great. He pointed out eagles, and explained about the oyster farms. Also interesting facts about the area and it's history. The Princess is electric so the voyage was really quiet and peaceful. Enjoyed the morning and would recommend this cruise.

Fabulous 2 hour cruise on Wogonga Princess. Calmly and quietly explored Wogonga Lake and inlet on electric boat. Very informative commentary on homes, history, oysters and birdlife. Highly recommend.

In love with the Wagonga Princess
Had a lovely cruise for two hours in the Wagonga Inlet which has to be one of the most beautiful and peaceful experiences I have had for years. Skipper Dave was a great guide explaining about the history of the inlet and region, and we even saw the resident Sea Eagle which was a huge thrill. The Wagonga Princess was the real showstopper though. It's just had a refresh and you just would not believe its over 120 years old and has seen so much life and outlived two world wars, and then some. It's fully electric too and the Skipper even showed us its little motor. We were so thrilled with our experience and will be back next year!

Whilst it was a little troublesome booking the actual cruise experience was excellent. Charlie our host could not have been better, very interesting as well as most amusing. The boat was perfect for the job.

Thanks for the lovely experience Dave
Stunning way to see a beautiful part of Australia, on a heritage boat hearing from Dave the Skipper about the environment, flora and fauna of the area. We saw White Bellied Sea Eagles and their nest, a little Hammerhead shark gliding past, swimming kangaroos, and an Aboriginal Midden tens of thousands of years old. All on a sustainable electric heritage ferry with nibbles.

We selected the 3 hour cruise option. 2 hour and sunset cruises are also available. The 118 year old boat is beautiful. David, our skipper and host was very skilful, knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Great fun and great value.

A lovely, casual, knowledgeable cruise. Thanks for a great cruise Dave.
It was a wonderful cruise. Dave was knowledgeable in local history. We saw some white bellied sea eagles, which was amazing. We visited an aboriginal midden and Dave explained about how they came to be. He explained and showed areas where previous settlements were etc.
We had a great relaxed cruise on the Wagonga Inlet on a well loved boat with an informative Captain about some of the history and current workings of the inlet.
Thoroughly enjoyed our 2 hour morning cruise on the Wagonga Princess. Learnt a lot about the history of the region and was a beautiful way to spend a couple of hours. Highly recommend
I have lived in the Eurobodalla region for 25 years...there are always new things to learn...Charlie has first hand knowledge of the inlet and his ferry..it was a journey of trivia and wildlife in a beautiful region of the world
Great afternoon exploring the inlet which is much larger than you think. Charlie is very very knowledgeable of the history of the area and oyster growing industry. Tells great jokes too. A definite must do from us.
