Half-Day Coorong Experience

Discover the magic of winter on the Half-Day Coorong Experience with Spirit of the Coorong.
Departing from Goolwa, this immersive cruise is the perfect way to explore the Coorong National Park during the cooler months, with a warming lunch and afternoon tea served on board.

Cruise through the Goolwa Barrage and into the Coorong's protected waters, where long-nosed fur seals often laze on the lock gates. Drift past sand dunes and birdlife as expert guides share stories of the region's unique ecology, Indigenous heritage, and the final stretches of the mighty Murray River as it meets the Southern Ocean.

A guided walk takes you across the dunes to a Ngarrindjeri midden site – a place rich in culture and history. Feel the icy thrill of the ocean as you dig for Pipi on the beach and follow a bush-tucker trail through native coastal vegetation.

This relaxing and educational half-day tour showcases the raw beauty of the Coorong in winter – fewer crowds, crisp coastal air, and spectacular scenery – making it a must-do seasonal experience.
