About Hawkesbury River Cruises
Welcome to Hawkesbury River Cruises, the ultimate destination for unforgettable river adventures in Australia! Located at Church Point, Sturdee Lane, 36, our establishment is a point of interest and travel agency that offers a unique and truly Australian experience.
As summer approaches, we are almost fully booked, with a high demand for our tours following the lockdown. So, don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to create lifelong memories.
Forget about bus trips to the Blue Mountains and instead, embark on a journey down the Hawkesbury River, located just one hour away from Sydney. This river remains in its natural state as a national park, allowing everyone to enjoy its untouched beauty. Much of it remains unchanged since the arrival of Europeans in 1788, providing a glimpse into the past.
Prepare to be amazed by the spectacular scenery and secluded beaches that can only be accessed by boat. Explore ancient aboriginal sites with rock carvings and middens, immersing yourself in the rich indigenous history of the area. Hand feed native birds, including the stunning King Parrots, and indulge in a delicious French-inspired barbecue accompanied by the best quality wine and beer.
Your experience will be guided by Chantal, an entertaining and knowledgeable professional who can provide tours in both French and English. Learn about the secret history of the river, from bushfires to the orchards cultivated by convicts. Chantal will share her local knowledge of aboriginal sites, flora, fauna, and history, ensuring a truly immersive experience.
Our tours begin at the Berowra Waters Public wharf, where you'll board your vessel and set off on an adventure. Cruise past Calabash Bay, home to some famous Aussies seeking seclusion. As you enter the national park area, you'll be surrounded by untouched nature. The last hint of civilization is at Collingridge Point, named after one of the first European settlers in the area.
For those looking to explore the river at their own pace, we offer a wide range of boats available for hire from the local marina. Fishing gear can be supplied upon request, and no boat license is required.
After your exploration, indulge in an optional French-inspired gourmet barbecue or fresh Hawkesbury seafood. Enjoy your meal in the midst of natural bushland, on a secret picnic spot only accessible by boat, or at Chantal's home with stunning views across the bay. All lunches are lovingly prepared and can be customized to your preferences.
Discover Sydney's hidden waterways in the most relaxing and enjoyable way possible. Chantal's home, situated on the Hawkesbury River waterfront and on the edge of National Parks, attracts a wide range of spectacular birds daily, adding to the beauty of your experience.
The Hawkesbury River, stretching 120 kilometers from the meeting point of the Nepean and Grose rivers, holds significant historical and cultural importance. It was a vital source of water and food for the Aborigines and played a critical role in the survival of the early British colony in Sydney. Its Aboriginal name, Dyarubbin, meaning wide deep water, reflects its significance.
Chantal, our experienced guide, has been living on the Hawkesbury for over 10 years. Her passion for adventure, water, food, and fun is evident in her entertaining tours and delicious cuisine. With her wealth of knowledge about the area, she will provide you with an unforgettable experience.
Raised by a French mother and English father in England, Chantal is bilingual and incorporates her mother's French inspiration and culinary skills into her tours. You might even get to enjoy a French Rose de Provence during your picnic. With extensive sailing experience, including two Atlantic crossings and a Sydney to Hobart win, Chantal's love for people, nature, and food shines through in every aspect of your tour.
Join us at Hawkesbury River Cruises for an extraordinary adventure filled with breathtaking scenery, fascinating history, and mouthwatering cuisine. Book your tour now and let us create an unforgettable experience for you and your friends.

Reviews of Hawkesbury River Cruises
"great day out on the Hawkesbury River - Berowra Creek! Chantal has a wealth of local knowledge and the whole river cruise on the luxury BBQ Boat was interesting and the scenery stunning! The stop off at Bar Island for lunch was perfect and gave us a chance to stretch our legs. Definitely recommend ...."
"My family recently had a wonderful boat tour and picnic lunch experience with Chantal. From pickup at Berowra Waters public wharf we meandered slowly along the beautiful shores during which Chantal described the history of the region. Later we enjoyed a wonderful lunch and accompanied by great cold beer and wine. We chatted about her time on the "river" and some of the wonderful characters who make up this fantastic kaleilodeiscope of life and scenery. Highly recommended. Tell your friends!"
"I've been on Hawkesbury River Cruises on three different occasions, I go back with my friends for many reasons... 1) the river scenery is spectacular. This has to be a hidden gem of Sydney! 2) Chantal is a fun and knowledgeable guide who takes care of everyone's individual needs. 3) The food that Chantal prepares is amazing! I can't think of a better way to spend a day in the outdoors in Sydney! :)"
