Spend a Relaxing Wednesday on the Mighty Clarence River
Every Wednesday at 11am this wonderful cruise heads off from Yamba Ferry wharf. We boarded the immaculate ferry and watched the skipper skilfully navigate the sandbars as he crossed the river to Iluka to drop off/pickup passengers. He then commenced a fascinating history of the unique aspects of the Clarence Valley, highlighting sights and birdlife along the way. When we got to the steam driven 130 yr old Grafton Sugar Mill he turned under the brand new bridge and we headed back. We all admired dear Scotty who did the ropes, collected the fares, and ran around all day serving piping hot cups of tea/coffee and pies to all the oldies on board. He was marvellous. After a short stop at Iluka we returned to Yamba at 3.30pm. We highly recommend this wonderful outing if you happen to visit Yamba on a Wednesday.

GREAT VALUE TRIP
We took the Clarence river Music and lunch cruise up the Clarence on a Sunday. The cruise runs from 11 until 3pm and cost us only $60 for 2 return. They have hot and cold food on board as well as a licenced bar. Just note that you have to pay for food and drinks. Food is fast food like pies, sausage rolls, toasties and that type of food.'The day we went the weather was sunny and the cruise was very relaxing . The captain and his offsider were very helpful and they chatted with the passengers. The 2 guys playing music that day were great and really got the passengers grooving along nicely. Date of trip was April 25th.

Good experience
This was one of those nice experiences that you remember and associate to a town. We had set up in a caravan park in town and we had a gate down to the water beside us so once we had lunch we took a walk down to take a look. There was a ferry beside the jetty and once it had emptied and then filled up again my husband went to ask if we could do a round trip to Iluka and back and were told that was fine. It was a spur of the moment activity which turned out to be very special. It was a hot day so it was very pleasant sitting on the top deck with the breeze for one and a half hours for the return trip. It is a very pretty area with lots of groups taking advantage of the good weather. We came across a dragon boat, kayaks, jet skis, fishing boats and people fishing off jetties. We had two concession tickets and we would thoroughly recommend taking a trip with this company.
