As Mannum is the birthplace of the paddle steamer on the Murray River, it is very exciting to now offer a regular heritage paddle wheeler cruise bi-weekly from the Mannum Dock Museum on board the oldest paddle wheeler in SA.

Our volunteers have worked tirelessly for the past 2 and a half years to bring the Mayflower back to her 1913 era when she was a commercial fishing vessel for the Creager family in Renmark.

The Mayflower will cruise every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday at 10.30am and 1pm for a 1.5 hour cruise and has a capacity of 25 passengers.

Tea/Coffee and bar facilities are available on board and the Captain will provide a commentary. This cruise will take you to the Caloote Cliffs and return capturing an ever-changing river landscape for the passenger to enjoy.

Having regular weekly heritage cruises in Mannum, is an exciting time and new chapter for the Mannum Dock Museum’s PW Mayflower and we welcome you to step on board next time you are in town to enjoy heritage cruising on the magnificent Murray River.
