A R REFLECTIONS RIVER CRUISES

For a truly unforgettable wilderness experience your hosts Rob and Kaye Chandler welcome you to spend a day cruising the Arthur River, Tasmania with A R Reflections River Cruises.

Your journey takes you 15kms, first to the river mouth then upstream past the Arthur/Frankland River junction before continuing on to Warra Landing for lunch.

 
It is stated the Arthur River is one of the last truly 'wild rivers' of Australia. This recognised wilderness area of world value is densely forested with myrtles, sassafras, celery-top pine, laurels, blackwood and giant tree ferns.

As you cruise upstream on board 'M V Reflections' this lush greenery is reflected in the still tea-coloured waters. High above the river bank white-bellied sea-eagles are perched in the trees with commanding views of the river.

An abundance of bird life can be heard and seen. You can catch a glimpse of Azure Kingfishers with their distinct brilliant blue and orange colourings. Platypus can be sighted in their own habitat.

On arrival at Warra Landing you disembark. Whilst in the peaceful surrounds of the rainforest you will enjoy a gourmet lunch including Tasmanian cheeses, cake, complimentary wines, coffee or tea.

  After lunch, you will be taken on an informative guided walk on the elevated walkways enjoying the most intimate rainforest experience possible.

The sheer beauty of this pristine enchanted forest overwhelms you as you are taken through Warra Creek Valley to Warra Falls.

On the return voyage the white-bellied sea-eagles become the stars of the show as they swoop with a certain grace to accept fresh fish offerings.

A.R.Refelctions River Cruises also offer value package containing a cruise and accommodation.
