River Cruise

Robertson

Activity Description

Trail your feet in the cool waters of the Breede River, while toasting the good life with a glass of Viljoensdrift wine on board their elegant flat-bottomed river boat named Uncle Ben 2.

The approximately 1 hour-long meander along the river, flanked by indigenous Breede River Yellowwood and Wild Olive trees teeming with a variety of bird species, sets the scene for a leisurely riverside experience. Fill your picnic basket to the brim with sumptuous fare from our deli and enjoy your picnic during your trip down the river. What better way to spend a laid-back afternoon with family and friends?

The 50 minute river cruise comes at a mere R120 for adults and R50 for children between 3 and 12 years. Babies are welcome too. Kids below the age of 3 are free of charge.

Customer Reviews

What a great experience! Beautiful scenery and staff was very helpful and friendly! - DIRK


Great experience. Wonderful picnic and wine - Jennifer


The small river cruise with a picnic was truly breathtaking and incredibly peaceful. The calm atmosphere and beautiful surroundings made it easy to relax and enjoy the moment. What stood out just as much was the warm hospitality---the people working there were exceptionally friendly and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The food from the deli was fresh and delicious, perfectly complementing the setting. The house rose was absolutely delightful, and even the grape juice was surprisingly rich and flavorful. Overall, a wonderfully calming experience that I would gladly recommend. - Elena


Wonderful experience. Staff was great. However deli purchases was quite pricey. Would be nice if they could have affordable ready-made picnic options - Kristine


All interactions and experiences before and during the trip met my expectations fully. Highly recommended. - Brian
