As you board Gadget and look across the harbour to the North Shore you are seeing the same sites Captain James Cook would have seen in 1770, no developments, no resorts just a whole lot of nature.

Cruising is leisurely as you hear about this diverse river. Wide at the mouth, progressing north it is lined with over 25 species of mangroves; it then branches and changes dramatically to narrow creeks lined with palms and rainforest flora.

endeavour river It is the Endeavour river that Solander first documented much of Australia’s flora. You will learn about this amazing eco-system and the part it plays in supporting its neighbour the Great Barrier Reef.

Wildlife is abundant - keep your eyes open for the resident sea eagle and osprey. Jabirus, pelicans, herons egrets and brahminy kites are all common sites. For the serious Twitcher you may even site the great billed heron. Of course no tour of the Endeavour would be complete without seeing a croc and there is every chance that you will see at least one.

The tour carries a maximum of 4 passengers. Refreshments are provided as well as reference books and binoculars. There are plenty of opportunities for photos.
