Experience the Incredible Scenery of the Nepean Gorge While Enjoying a Delicious and Hearty Lunch.
Relax and unwind on the Nepean Belle Paddlewheeler as you meander through the spectacular Nepean Gorge. There’s nothing quite like the stunning ascending rock formations carved out by the Nepean River.
The combination of the unique scenery and the majestic Nepean Belle provides excellent photo opportunities you can treasure for years to come.
Includes lunch consisting of succulent seasoned roast chicken & freshly sliced leg ham served on a shared platter, garnished with honey roasted vine tomatoes. Also accompanied by accompanied by creamy sautéed potato, sundried tomato salad, Greek salad, and al dente penne in a creamy pesto sauce. Plus dessert, either pavlova with vanilla bean cream topped with berry compote or chocolate mud cake drizzled with white chocolate and raspberry coulis.

The Scenery: It may not be grandiose but it is still pretty. Definitely worth a look.
The Paddleboat: It is lovely, and has that old world feel. You can enjoy the view from your table or nab a spot at the front river level stop. But, I recommend sitting outside, up top. The breeze, the view, the company and the comfort.
The Food: Fabulously delicious! Served on share platter.
The Cruise: It's a lovely, peaceful way to spend the day.
As a solo traveler, If you're looking for something to do and you have no other real plans, this is a great last minute option. Or, if you just wanna do something that doesn't require a lot of stress, it's well worth the trip.
Just a note, they can also accommodate pairs and larger groups.
Cost: a fair cost for the cruise and the meal.
Overall: It's a winner!

Amazing view, lunch was good. A little hard to get to without a car. Rain made it hard to be on outer deck. Pictures were many.

I gave it 3 stars, yet you should definitely go and experience this... The sightseeing is so beautiful, especially on a sunny day...you have to see it to believe it. Great family day out! The staff were nice and the trip had a personalised tone to it, which was a really nice touch. The seating is nice, surrounded by big windows on all sides, as well as little balconies on each side/corner where you can get out, breathe in the nature, and take amazing photos...
Haven't tried the night session, that will definitely be the next one for me!
Why I gave it 3 stars is because of food... I am really easy going person, and I know how hard it is to run the business especially nowadays, so I am only taking time out and saying these things with only intention to help the business improve. The food was generally good, especially the chicken that we had..so succulent and juicy, but only 1 piece per person and all served on one long wooden board. No extras if anyone wanted a tiny bit more, and no alternative meat option if you weren't into chicken that day. We got one small bowl of creamed potatoes to be shared between 5 people, and was luke warm. 2 bowls would've been a bit more appropriate.. We also got a bowl of carrots and peas to share amongst us and there was no salad. The gravy that was served was cold and hardened into a jelly.
The bread rolls that came with it were stale and cold, only one per person, and when we asked for an extra one for the child who wanted a bit more, we were told they had none. For the cleanliness of cutlery/glassware, I'd probably say 3.5/5.
The offering deviated somewhat from what was shown on the website, so the web should probably be updated regularly. This was also true for the deserts, however deserts we got were really yummy, served alternatively. It would be great if customers had some choice in this though.
The service was good, but the service was done by young teenagers. Again, all for supporting small business, especially family run, and having to cut corners where possible to keep it afloat, but they were obviously very young and lacked that customer service finesse (just in case you are expecting this).
Finally, was a bit surprised that the business only took cash on board for any drinks from the bar, which I don't mind at all, but we weren't prepared, so not sure if I missed this somewhere on the website, but just noting here in case someone else misses it too.
Overall, it was a lovely family experience, and as mentioned, definitely plan on coming back again, just hope that food offering and quality of food is improved a bit.

I had no expectations of this cruise, someone else had chosen it as a family outing.
It was great!
The food was delicious and of excellent quality.
The views were lovely and the staff were friendly, organised and efficient.
A very pleasant and relaxing way to spend a Sunday - highly recommended!

A great day out with an excellent meal to enjoy whilst travelling up and down the Nepean River. The captain provided excellent commentary for our interest in the area
