Discover Yesteryear Today and experience the magic of the mighty Murray River with Echuca Paddlesteamers.

Once the main transport of cargo and passengers during the 1800's, our fully restored Paddlesteamers now offer daily one hour cruises and are a "must do" experience when visiting Australia's paddlesteamer capital. 

Explore the cabins, chat with the engineer or join the skipper for a steer in the wheelhouse!

Whether you are a history buff, steam buff, or simply looking for a fun day out, step back in time with us and discover what riverboat life was all about.

Pets welcome!

Please note our NEW cruising times from Tuesday 28th February 2020: 10.00am, 11.15am, 1.00pm & 2.15pm with bookings closed 15 minutes prior to these times so please be ticketed and ready to board 15minutes before the cruise time you select.

For the Southern 80 weekend, we are letting the power boats have the river and giving our old steamer a weekend off, so we are closed on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th February. Enjoy the weekend!
