Spirit of the Coorong offers an exceptional experience to explore the end of the Murray River and the Coorong National Park. This award-winning tour and transport operator earned Gold at the SA Tourism Award in 2023 and 2024, and Silver at the Australian Tourism Awards 2024, highlighting their excellence in providing memorable and high-quality tours.

With over 50 years of water-based tourism experience spanning four generations, this family-owned business has become a cornerstone of Coorong tourism.

Today, the company operates three commercially surveyed day cruise boats, with capacities ranging from 12 to 50 passengers, allowing for intimate and personalized tours of the Coorong National Park.

Cruising through the iconic Storm Boy country, guests are treated to the expert commentary, providing insights into the rich culture of the Ngarrindjeri nation & the Tanganekald people, and the history of the riverport of Goolwa.

Wildlife enthusiasts will be delighted by the abundant and diverse species that can be observed during the cruise. From majestic birds to the intricate ecology of the Coorong, the Spirit of the Coorong offers an unparalleled opportunity to witness and learn about the natural beauty and historical richness of this remarkable area.
