The 4 Best Waterfall Boat Tours and Cruises in Australia

1.Katherine Gorge Cruise & Edith Falls Day Trip from Darwin

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 158 reviews · from $247Our pick

Review of the Katherine Gorge and Edith Falls day trip from Darwin, with cruise details, walking advice, costs, comfort, and practical tips.

“A long day (6am start, returning at 8.45pm) but worth it. There are stops along the way for comfort breaks, food and drink purchase and to stretch your legs. The bus is a bit cramped for those over 6ft. Scenery is amazing on the drive and you get to see both the sunrise and sunset over the outback. The Gorge cruise (2hrs) is stunning as are the pools at Edith Falls - beware the 1km to get there is quite a trek.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 52 reviews · from $534

Review of a private Blue Mountains tour from Sydney with Scenic World, Wentworth Falls, Three Sisters, private lookouts, and cruise options.

“I had a great time with this travel company! The host was incredibly knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable throughout the experience. I particularly appreciated how we followed my pace, which made the trip much more enjoyable. However, my only suggestion would be to include more attractions or activities in the itinerary. After a while, I found myself wishing there were more things to do. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would recommend them for a relaxing and well-guided trip!”
