A sunset cruise with The Ferryman is guaranteed to be relaxing, entertaining and spectacular.

The Ferryman has been giving people an introduction to Karumba’s water delights for more than two decades, catering for various sized groups and offering daily tours.

The sunset tour has been their signature cruise for many years. Their Gulf Sunset and Croc Spotting Cruise departing Karumba Point at 3.30pm  and then departing  the ‘bridge pontoon’ at the town boat ramp Gilbert St at 4pm. The tour takes about three hours and includes river cruising and Gulf scenery. In the winter, low tide is in the early evening … and that’s when you’re most likely to see crocodiles! The Norman River is lined with mangroves and alive with wildlife. And of course the sunset over the Gulf water is a spectacular part of the cruise. Enjoy prawns, savouries and a sweet platter and a fascinating, informative commentary. The tour runs from Easter to mid October.

Two boats operate, depending on the occasion—The Ferryman 10m x 4m and the Ferryman2, a 6m southwind.

Glenn and Allison Newton also offer specialist birdwatching tours on demand. You could see white-breasted whistlers, red-headed honeyeaters, Arafura fantails, broad-billed flycatchers, mangrove gerygone, Brahminy kites and eagles.

After 20 years of operating the Ferryman, Glenn and Allison have reluctantly decided to sell the business, along with the house. If you think you would love the lifestyle of the Gulf, then this would create the perfect opportunity to start a new life!
