1. Step Back in Time at the Historic Port of Echuca

The Port of Echuca is the beating heart of the town’s story. Once Australia’s busiest inland port, it’s now home to museums, restored wharves, and authentic paddle steamers that still chug along the Murray today.
One of our most unique experiences and one of the top things to do in Echuca is to take a guided tour, hop aboard a horse-drawn carriage, or simply stroll the red-gum wharf and soak up the charm of a bygone era.

2. Cruise the Mighty Murray River

No visit is complete without a cruise aboard one of Echuca’s famous paddle steamers. Feel the gentle rhythm of the river, hear the hiss of the steam engines, and take in the gum-tree-lined scenery that’s uniquely Australian.
You can enjoy a short sightseeing cruise, a lunch cruise, or even an evening experience with live music and local wine.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked the winery and brewery tour in Echuca and it was fantastic. Kirby was an amazing hostess and nothing was too much trouble for her.
It was so well organised and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The winery tour of St Anne’s was exceptional and the tastings were delicious and plentiful. We then sat down to an amazing spread for lunch in the beautiful settings of the winery with our wine glasses full!  It was hard to leave after lunch as the atmosphere was so welcoming, but it was time to be off to the Brewery for our next stop.
Two Lads Brewery did not disappoint. Again the atmosphere was great and Kirby had everything sorted for us. We had amazing service and the brewery had a wonderful vibe. Many beers were had and enjoyed, and the non-beer drinkers were also well looked after.
Back to the bus for our final stop at BarLee. Again Kirby had the organised the best table in the place for us and got us all settled in. As it turned out we decided to stay as it was such a beautiful day so Kirby went above and beyond to drop all our days purchases back home for us. What amazing service!

Thanks so much for the day Kirby, from your play lists to your bubbly personality, you made our day a day to remember. We could not recommend you more highly.

The knowledge flowed, as did the tastings. The four of us gave it a perfect ten. Do yourselves a flavour…favour, and learn a love of local wines and wineries Echuca/Moama style. This amazing couple know their stuff. Big shout out to Richard at St Anne’s for above and beyond hospitality. Shannon from Morrisons Winery, you rock. Bigger shout out to Trav and Kirsty for music, snacks, knowledge, tastings and amazing conversation. We will be back. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Kirby and Travis managed to fit in a stop at the new 'Two Lad's Brewery' which was absolutely awesome.
Highly recommend this tour, thanks guys!

The 3 wineries and distillery we visited were fantastic choices for our group. Can not wait to do some of the other tours/experiences they offer. Thankyou Travis for a truly special and memorable day.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a brilliant afternoon with Trav, Kirby and Ashe - what a team!  Trav and Kirby took great care in the food pairing to the wines they served and it shone through.  Ashe was an absolute gem as skipper.
We did this as a three generational experience and could not recommend it any higher - one of the best things we've done in Echuca!
