Travel from your pick-up point in the comfort of Coach Holidays & Tours’ luxury coach to Penrith, where you’ll board the charming Nepean Belle Paddlewheeler for a 2.5-hour Scenic Lunch Cruise through the remarkable Nepean Gorge.

This stretch of the Nepean River is one of Australia’s hidden natural gems, nestled at the base of the Blue Mountains National Park. With its soaring sandstone cliffs and tranquil waters, it offers stunning views that are best enjoyed from the comfort of your seat or the outdoor viewing decks.

During the cruise, savour a hearty 2-course lunch served onboard, followed by freshly brewed tea and coffee. You’re welcome to explore the vessel during the journey, take in the scenery, and even visit the Captain in the wheelhouse for a behind-the-scenes peek at how the paddlewheeler runs.

Whether you’re taking in the views, snapping photos from the open deck, or simply enjoying great conversation over lunch, this relaxing river cruise is sure to be a highlight of your year.

Please Note: The Nepean Belle is accessible for guests using wheelchairs, walking frames, or walking sticks. However, that restrooms on board are located on the upper deck and are accessed via a staircase with 13 steps and handrails on both sides (wide enough for two people side by side). Accessible public toilets are available at the jetty before boarding.

Cruise route is subject to river navigation conditions. Menus may vary due to seasonality.
